The dawning of a new week is upon us. It shall be a better week, a quieter week, a less cranky week, and most of all THE WEEK BEFORE EXAMS.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……………is the sound my anxiety makes. Well, there’s always next week. So Haley, someone very special I know had a birthday. In other news, that person’s cell phone was not on during the hours of their birthday. However, I will not fault them since I love them dearly and do not know how my life could go on without them in it. In other news, a mysterious package may be arriving at someone’s house. Fascinating how those two unrelated topics somehow are connected in my mind. It’s not like I was even thinking about the mysterious birthday elves I sent out to do my shopping for me as I typed that last sentence.
Since the elves were brought up randomly, I’ll inform you of some of the exciting news they had to report. This of course means more forms to fill out for Elfish employment. (There’s a form to employ every magical creature these days; absolutely ludicrous if you ask me.) However, I feel that filling out the elfish entitlement to story rights is worth it to bring you this charming piece of information written by an elf named Dexter. I feel the need to annotate certain parts of the story, sorry in advance.
Once upon a time, (Elves are so clichéd)
I was sent to the mall to go shopping for a client. They demanded (so not true, I asked firmly yet kindly) that I find the perfect gift for their friends’ birthday. As I often do, I suggested a home made gift because they are just the best kind. (Or, because I am an inherently lazy elf who would get paid fully to watch someone make a gift) The client refused and thus I ended up at the local mall. As I walked around trying to gather my bearings in a mall so large, I happened upon a bookstore. Now, I knew the client’s friend was extremely bookish. Perhaps she was described as a little nerdy, seldom normal, and often perplexing, but my client seemed to think these traits were all “awesome.” As I looked up and saw the two story building looming over me, I knew I had found my store. Now, I just needed to find a gift. My quest took me up the escalator to the comic book, anime, and adult fantasy aisle. (Don’t ask me why these books are all in one section- it’s an odd combination.) There, I happened on a Fraggle Rock book. I opened out of curiosity. The cover was just o’so charming and I could not resist. As soon as I had plopped down on the floor to read the book, a strange yet mysterious man appeared from behind the book shelf. He began to lecture me on the importance of substance abuse in modern culture. When the man finally took a breath, I took the opportunity to ask a question:
"JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE PAL?"
The man was not fazed, or as I later found out not a man at all. He was a genii, tied to the openings and closings of the Fraggle Rock book. He was destined to remain in that book cover until the end of eternity unless someone bought the book and freed him. Well, I was so overwhelmed that I just fainted dead on the spot. (Because he is a pansy…) Immediately after coming to, I raced back to my client’s (without a gift I might add) and filed this report. I am immediately requesting transference to Santaland and away from the gift service of joy.

Dear other readers of this blog. You will probably find this entire story rather perplexing. You should, it means you’re a normal person. Even so, you should be made aware of one thing: Fraggle Rock. It is a show of beauty and love and Muppets…and….and….AND AWESOME!

That's right, keep it weird kids!
Pictures of my beastly pet rock will hopefully be released within the near future. Apparently, there is a problem with my memory card that is being resolved. Terribly sorry about that minor issue. In the true spirit of the dorks we are, the show MUST GO ON despite the lack of tattooed rocks featured on this blog. Now, to present THIS WEEKS CHALLENGE:
Cultural Immersion will take place in a way you have never thought of before.
YouTube for the Uncultured
Yes, Haley that's right. While you are a bonified nerd in so many areas you desperately lack the ability to be endlessly entertained by the audio visual nerdiness of others. I really appreciate your take on N.E.R.D.G.Y.M. I agree, that system should be imposed in every school system around the country. The shenanigans of gym could be so easily avoided that way! Sadly, there is one problem with your plan. There are not enough nerds in one school to fund this program. If you feel your life lacks the proper nerdy tinge that is so necessary, you should travel to a place where nerds run rampant and free. I am talking about the Internet. Yes, I am aware that the Internet is also used to stream videos of Sarah Palin, butt sex, and other such disturbing things.

Like the Closet Optimist I occasionally am, the Internet restores my faith in humanity because.....
1.There are a multitude of nerds online. Isn't it better to be nerdy online together via blog or YouTuber or deviant art or fanfiction.net than be nerdy in your room by yourself? Nerding is not something easily done alone. (Oh yeah, it's a verb now.)

2. The Internet is sometimes used for things besides pictures of cute kittens and streaming videos of the idiotic politicians in our country. Shockingly, the Internet is often used to promote good, share ideas that would better our country, or even promote charities.
3. Most importantly, the Internet is important because it allows for things like N.E.R.D.G.Y.M to become a reality to me and thousands of like minded people around the world.
Bask in the glow of this video Hayley. It is one of my favorites in the entire world that is YouTube. It was created by the Vogbrothers for one of their punishment videos. I hope this video entices you to become fans of the Vlogbrothers as they are probably my favorite YouTubers EVER!
This video calls out to my inner geek.
Since it is your birthday week and I believe you may have exams, I wanted to ease you into my challenges. Don't worry they'll get progressively harder.
I extra, especially enjoyed your last post with the gorgeous pictures. Your right, the fashiony necklace was fabulous. Nevertheless, even more fabulous were your literary pajamas.
Have a wonderful week my dear.
