Just Write. Because life is awesome.
Yet another reason why I never had a date in high school and never leave my house.
Scene: It is a foggy morning in Longmont and the phone rings.
me: “Hello?”
dude: “hi, it’s Rick from ____ plumbing. How are you today?”
Me: “I’m good, how are you?”
dude: “I’m good. I was just letting you know that I’m about 10 minutes from your house with the furnace equipment. Can I stop by?”
Me: “Sure, as long as you arrive with head intact!”
dude: *crickets*
Me: “Heh. It’s foggy out, you know.”
dude: *crickets* “I look forward to seeing you so you can explain what that means.”
Me: *nervous laugh* “Foggy outside? Ichabod Crane?”
dude: “Uh, Yeah. See you soon, ma’am.”

I love you and all your nerdiness.
I love it :)
This could be me. The ma’am at the end says it all:)
Example number 34,456 of why you are awesome.
This is where you went wrong…this is why we LOVE you!! And why you landed such an awesome guy…who would appreciate you nerdiness!! Xoxo
Embrace your nerdiness! You wouldn’t have wanted to date the dudes in high school who wouldn’t get the reference anyway. I promise. I still claim I married the Fab Hub because he understood a reference to Waiting for Godot and spoke at length about it.
Kitchy, no one EVER gets my jokes so I feel your pain, hard core. At least your quips are smart-person funny. Mine are just too off-the-wall for anyone to bother with.
Such a cute, sweet post! I loved it! :)
My son told me to stop trying to be funny a long time ago, because no one gets me – I, too, am nerdy! We just need to use our humor with fellow nerds. totally love this conversation, because it was so perfect for a foggy day. Hopefully, he arrived with his head intact :)
You’re my soul sister!
Clearly, this guy did not have enough coffee in the morning to get your witty remark. :)
Definitely funny…. Love it.
I love that after he didn’t get it you kept going until he did.

Chuckle, chuckle. That’s fricking awesome.
What did he say when he got there?
