Oh so many things.
1) I was secretly hoping the people I hated from High School would all be fat by now. Alas, not yet, but I am content to wait.
1.5) I don't understand people who pursue those who are much better looking than them. I mean, you're expecting them not to be care about looks while you are being extremely superficial yourself? Besides, it would be awful to have to constantly think about how the other person is "dating down" in other people's eyes.
1.75) Talking about the gym probably makes me sound vapid, so I usually avoid doing so. However, I feel I must make this observation; everybody in there is attractive. Seriously, everyone. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the middle of someone's music video. Intimidating but nice.
2) Ok, since when does the Smurf franchise have a young, active fandom? I didn't even know the fuckers existed until I was about 15, but I keep seeing pictures and videos of people my age dressed up as them. I refuse to believe these are actual Smurf fans; the show itself ended in the eighty's, whereas Avatar came out to years ago. I'm just saying.
3) To be quite honest, I didn't get a huge rush of relief when I found out there where other gay people out there. Instead, I got the "Thank god I'm not alone!" feeling when I discovered other people masturbated. I seriously thought that I was the worlds biggest pervert for "discovering" it (No, I'm not Catholic, just weird). It took me about four years to come to terms with it. That's two years longer than it took me to accept my sexuality, not that anyone's counting/overanalyzing insignificant details of their adolescence.
3.1415) I'm always indecisive about whether or not I should be more openly nerdy. On one hand, it seems like I should be upfront with it. On the other, most couples I know don't wear their nerd badge on their sleeve. I don't know if this is correlated.
4) Jesus, it's like every time I sit down to write, I'm hit with a narcoleptic episode (Is that a thing? Are they called "fits" instead? Too lazy for google). Anyway, G'night.

1.75) I have never been to a gym. Like ever. I'm lazy beyond belief, man. But if I did go to a gym, I would feel sooo out of place, cuz everybody's all buff and toned and I'm all scrawny and whimpy.
2) The new Smurf movie looks incredibly stupid. The kids the movie is targeting probably haven't even heard of Smurfs. Wasn't the show on in the 70's or something? Dude, just let it die. Hollywood ruined Scooby Doo and Yogi Bear, and the Smurfs are next.
3) I feel relieved that I'm not the only gay chick out there. It still feels like I am though, sometimes.
No Worries
1.75) I'm pretty scrawny myself, and I'll feel out of place pretty often. The secret is to think of it not as a gym, but as a museum of hot people. It also helps to keep in mind that a lot of the people around you are probably a little stupid.
.5) everyone seems to be doing this number thing now
3.) It's even weirder being a girl, and not knowing what masturbation really was until Swimmerguy took me on a rollercoaster and was astonished I had never done it. That's what started my habit! And I always knew what lesbians WERE and that they were out there, yet somehow I couldn't apply it to myself for a long time even though I totally knew it for a long time.
3.something) Definitely be more nerdy. I love nerdy people. They're just so fun to be around! You don't have to be all HRNGGR NERDY WITH EVERYONE ALL DAY ERE DAY but you can definitely act more like that around your friends and stuff. It's fun :)

That's redick!
Yes
It pleases me that the numbered-list thing is taking over.
Pi) I love nerdy people too, but I can't help but wonder if my extensive knowledge of fictional universes is seen as a good thing in a lot of people's eyes.
1) Quite a few of my high
1) Quite a few of my high school classmates were fat like me. Southern food to blame? Too many video games?
1.5) My fiance and I hear this all the time. He gets "Why are you with that fat pig?". I hear "He's twice your age! What could you two possibly have in common?". We both know it's what's on the inside that matters. Sometimes you are dating down when the other person's more "attractive" than you, you just don't realize it until it's too late.
2) Is a Smurf something Nerf makes?
3) I've never had a problem accepting my homosexuality. The problem's been finding my place within the gay society, or to be more accurate, getting other gays to accept me for me.
3.1415) I'm the biggest nerd/geek (gerd?) you'll ever meet! Really, it's true...even though I have a Iron Maiden shirt on right now it's really true.
C.J. is a 21 year old chubby heavy metal fanatic living Green in the South. Believe it or not he's really gay!
Erm...
1.5) I don't think I made myself quite clear. I wasn't talking about the relationships themselves, just the rather superficial beginnings of one. For example, "Gunter" shouldn't expect "Hanz" not to care how attractive Gunter is IF Gunter only likes Hanz for his looks. That would make Gunter a big stinkin' Germanic hypocrite.
I don't have a problem with mutual attraction, which seems to be what you and your fiance have.

I think there's something wrong with your font/computer. Or maybe it's just my computer.
Heheheh
This list is so delightfully random. Made complete by the tag(s) - is that an attempt to be more, or less 'openly nerdy'? (I agree, though - Ron was never among my favorites, but Rupert Grint makes him seem downright gross.)
3.1415926whatevertoinfinitedecimalplaces) Yeah I kind of wonder the same thing... Like, I'm nerdy (won't claim to be the world's biggest nerd, but pretty nerdy nonetheless), and have a weird sort of confusion about being partly proud and partly ashamed of my nerdhood.....
Example: My current nerd obsession is Doctor Who, and unfortunately, I'm pretty obsessed, but I say that I only watch it because my friends force me to (which was originally true), and I say that the whole thing is a sinister and evil plot by the British to take back the colonies by getting all the youth of the United States to become incurable Doctor Stalkers so that all the British have to do is show up in blue boxes and the conquered will willingly surrender, et cetera.....
And I really don't know where I'm going with this, but I'm going to keep going anyway, 'cause I guess this is the place to vent nerdage.....
So the latest nerdy thing for me is that I just recently watched 'The Pandorica Opens' and I now really want to paint the exploding Tardis painting... I mean, look at it, it's beautiful:
But I haven't accepted and embraced my nerdiness enough to let myself have such a picture, so the plan is to paint it and give it to one of my more openly nerdy friends.... I wish I could honestly say that they are more nerdly than I am, but I'm afraid I'm just as bad as they are, just less proud of it.
And I have now completely forgotten the point that I was trying to make, if I was trying to make one at all and not just looking for an excuse to share the nerdly awesomeness that is that exploding Tardis picture....
Fear Not
The nerdy Tardis picture alone is enough justification for a comment.
But I totally know what mean; some of my friends are way more openly nerdy than I am, and it makes me equal parts jealous and embarrassed. They usually suck me into a nerdy vortex as well.
And as for Ron, I just feel like there should be something positive about that character. Because besides chess, there's not really a whole lot he really excels at...
Yeah...
I'm very obsessed with that picture today.
Thank you for clearly and concisely summing up what I meant with that 'some of my friends are way more openly nerdy than I am, and it makes me equal parts jealous and embarrassed. They usually suck me into a nerdy vortex....' Somehow it took me a lot of nonsense rambling to mean to say exactly that and then not actually say it.
Ron does deserve some credit - he's very good at being a true friend to Harry despite Harry's status as Chosen One and Most Famous Kid in the World and his tendency to get his friends into dangerous and frightening (spiders!) situations. That takes a lot more character than chess skill does.
