Talk Nerdy to Me


Now I have to admit I'm a little bit of a geek.

Nothing too embarrassing, but I do have annoying tendencies to correct all my friend's grammar, mutter Harry Potter curses when in a bad mood, and quote Big Bang Theory from memory. Hot stuff, right?

Confession over, what I wanted to talk about today is the slowly emerging trend of nerdyness appearing on social networking sites like Facebook. I don't know if you guys have seen it, but more and more recently people are flaunting their geeky knowledge. And even cooler, using it as a pick up lines!
If you have no idea what I'm ranting about, don't worry. Here are some examples...

Harry Potter: "Are you using the Confundus Charm or are you just naturally mind-blowing?"

Star Trek: "I've been told I have the cool sexual prowess of a Romulan"

Mathematical: "You and I would add up better than a Riemann sum"

Pokemon: "Are you a pikachu? Because you are shockingly beautiful"

Super Mario: "If Princess Toad looked anything like you, I would have killed Bowser years ago"

Physics: "Like the ideal vacuum, you're the only thing in my universe"

I've seen awesome lines like these flying around online gradually more often. There's groups and pages specifically made for these clever little one liners. And quite frankly, it's a refreshingly comical and fun change to the norm. Who wants to hear the same cheesy, monotonous rubbish when you could have some charming guy display his interest in both you and intellectual puns.

What I'm really trying to say here, is keep it up! Any guy who walks up to a girl and uses one of these bad-boy lines, deserves some credit. I know it's personal choice, and some might argue that people shouldn't have to use pick-up lines to get their attention. But let's face it, if they have the confidence to approach you with a clever remark like these and you understand it, then it's bound to impress you. 

Alternatively, if you have no idea what they're saying, then you clearly don't share the same interests and it's ideal that you discovered as such so quickly.

Heck, if a guy came up and told me "If you were a Dementor, I'd become a criminal just to get your kiss..." Then he'd be sure to be in my good books.

Thanks for reading, over and out.

The Truth.

Promise me not to waste your time, or mine, with pointless pleasantries or foolish niceties. Give me the harsh, brutal, truth. Let me find comfort in the reality of your honesty, instead of numbness  in the fairy tale of your lies. I would much rather the bitter sting swallowing a harsh pill, than to choke on the sickly syrup of honeyed words.  Speak your truth.

Surviving University

Hello again my lovely readers! It's been a while since the last time I posted, so my apologies. I guess I got a little wrapped up in my own little world, and forgot the importance of taking a little time to sit down and clear your mind. Blogs are an amazingly useful tool, even for something as simple as giving you a chance to vent all those niggling thoughts in the back of your brain. It's kind of like spinning plates... You get so caught up trying to keep everything going and try so hard not to let anything fall, that you don't give yourself a chance to just be yourself. But once again, I digress. Here goes. So in the second year of university, I think the biggest thing I've learnt is what NOT to do. Unfortunately I learnt the hard way, but on the bright side, hopefully by reading this you will have the sense to avoid making the same mistakes! And although some may seem like obvious blunders, it doesn't take much to make something appear like a great idea. May...

ASIAN ADVENTURE PART II

Hello world! So it's day three of my wonderful little adventure around S.E.A (if you don't know about it, read my previous post!), and so far I've spent all the time in Saigon. I completely love it here, the city is truly alive with activity, the streets buzz with the energy of its citizens and the buildings tower with opportunity. I definitely feel at home here. But alas, here's what I've been up to! DAY 1: I finally arrived in Saigon after an exhausting 25 hours on planes and in airports! It was 9PM here and I was completely wiped-out, but desperate to get out and explore! So, after finding the Hotel, hastily showering and getting ready, I headed out to the liveliest part of the city. Here, I met a lovely bicycle taxi man who took me up to an English speaking bar which served food all night - great for me as I had avoided plane food all day! The meal only cost 65,000 Vietnamese Dong, which is around £2 GBP. As well as this, all the bars on this strip served beer...
