I was just reading over the comments on my latest entries, and was flattered by the admiration of new friends, nostolgic for the old days, and then decided to clarify a few things:
First of all, to Kevin: I agree with Danielle, if you're going to join our colony, you've got to spell it right!! Minus 5 points for that. To Danielle: Man, I'm really missing Aleeza now! We nerds have got to reunite in the future. And to Mary: you haven't hurt yourself yet! What qualifications do you have as a nerd?
Our little Nerdtopia (note the way it's spelled!) is open to expansion. All you gotta do to be with us is to:
Have a great appreciation, and even better, a love for, the arts; this includes literature, visual art, music, theater, and all that jazz.
An interest, or obsesssion, with video games is valued too. And regular usage of a computer, especially the internet, is a definite plus.
Please bring your own (many!) posters or prints of different works of art, cult classic movies, plays, musicals, video games, etc.
It REALLY helps that you took Honor's Language Arts at Lindbergh High School for at least 1 year and have an appreciation for the teacher, Ms. Bedtelyon. But if you had a class similar to this, or a teacher with great influence on your nerdiness, we can accept that too.
And, most importantly, you gotta be smart, but not afraid to be a dork every once in a while! As Jack Sparrow pointed out, it's remarkable how often the traits of brilliance and madness coincide with each other.
Any other rules I'm forgetting? I'm not the only creator of this geeky paradise!

Wow, you guys are harsh in your qualifications, although I still think I am a perfect candidate for a citizen of nerdtopia, (notice the quick learning of proper spelling of the city name). Also I have plenty of videogames which I am very sharing of. I also like to read books, although I do not have much talent when it comes to art, however I did make a pretty good looking abstract pile of poo once. I also have a very large collection of movies that I am willing to lend out. Hopefully these traits/possessions will provide me in a seat at the helm of the great city of nerdtopia.
PS: Kevin said that!
I'm an undercover nerd... my friends know just how nerdy I am... I can't describe it.. you'll have to ask them. Most especially Kassie. As for your qualifications... I'm kinda lacking on the video games, haven't really played them since 9th or 10th grade... but I loooove movies... and arts... and books. YAY! I'm kinda more of a science nerd than an English nerd... I didn't take any high school english.... but yeah. I dunno. I'm cool... let me in!
PS: Mary said that!
whooo Nerdtopia! its starting to take shape! hahaha. I love it! I think if you are even reading this and other online journals, you've already fulfilled some of the requirements of being a nerd. haha. I miss you Rowan! And uh, it is understood that you me and danielle are the ruling queens of this world, right? as it were. hehehe. ~aleeza
Ah, Aleeza, I miss you too! I just read your latest Xanga entry--congrats!! I never really watched American Idol, but that's still pretty dang cool! Okay, I suppose that Danielle and I ARE the ruling Queens! But it's not as if we need a government, after all we're all smart and can take care of ourselves... but being queen is a pretty sweet offer!
And Deanna... impressive resume! ;)
