So I have been reading a lot of literary blogs lately, and have run across Good Reads. Anyone heard of good reads? For a read-y type person like me, it is basically awesome, since you can find books and rate them and see what other people are reading. Basically, I go on and rate YA books and snigger when I see that lots of people rated Twilight really low.
Yeah. that's right. I said snigger.
I was having this conversation with roommate J. last night and we were talking about blogging and how basically its a cool forum to write all your awkward thoughts, but its okay because now awkward is "cool" and "trendy." In the old days, dudes who wore suspenders, glasses and plaid were nerds. Now, they are sexy and we want to date them. When did this happen?
Personally, I love awkward/nerdy people. I think it's because I identify with them. Besides, many awkward people have gone on to do great things. Like publish books, or own multi-billion dollar corporations, or invent the theory of relativity (okay, so I don't KNOW if Einstein was awkward and nerdy, but he TOTALLY looks like he could be!!)
So in conclusion, I hope nerds don't go out of style. Or good books.
