Awkward

Velma: first nerd girl of my generation
She stood out because she was so plain. Every day I’d passed her in the math hall and we’d exchange a friendly nod or look, but never words. Neither of us would have known what to say anyway. Then I saw her on the lawn at Pine Knob wearing cutoffs and a tank top. Wow.

FFF-55 Vol. XXXII. Tell a story in exactly 55 words. Go see G-Man.
My tribute to nerd girls, for which we nerd boys will forever be grateful, and a nod to one of my fav's, HNG. Also a good excuse to share one of my recent guilty pleasures (explicit).

  10. The ones who are easy to overlook are often the ones most worthy of attention.

  12. I'm on the other side of the fence. Yay for nerd boys. Did I mention that my dh and I get together over a copy of Illustrated Man?
