Why I am a Nerd

On the Tetons trip I went on last week, I became friends with a few new people, which is great. However, one of them doesn't believe that I am a nerd (the good kind).

This is the inspiration for this wonderful blogpost about why I am a nerd.


1.  I'm relatively socially awkward

This isn't a bad thing, at least not completely.  It simply means that if you give me a compliment I will probably blush a lot.  It also means that if I'm in a room and the majority of the people there are not my best friends, I will hide in a corner and play Flow on my phone.

I know, you're all jealous of my social skills.

2. I do homework, a lot...

...and I get worried if I don't do it.  I probably do about an hour of necessary must-keep-my-grade-at-an-A homework a night.  The other two hours I usually do is to get ahead, get extra credit, or simply give myself something to do when I don't want to sleep.

Wait, did I say when I don't want to sleep.  But, but, I'm a teenager.  I have to sleep. (<---jokes)

3. My favorite thing ever is Sherlock

Not only am I in love with the TV show, but I've read every single Sherlock Holmes story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  I kind of like someone named Benedict Cumberbatch too, who plays Sherlock in the BBC TV show.

My friend Benedict Cumberbatch (a.k.a sherlock).

Fun Fact!  I've also read about two hundred Nancy Drew Books in my life...  I guess I'm a mystery person...

4.  I have a lot of quirks

I'm past the point of trying to hide them... I'm open about the weird things (and not so weird things) that I do.  If you want to read all of these, I have a blog post about it.

5. I'm not a party person

I really don't like large groups of people (basically ten or more). I especially am not into the drinking / drug stuff, which is okay, even if I am a "Park City kid".   I much prefer watching a sappy movie and eating a lot of chocolate...


This isn't to say I don't have friends though, because I have some really great ones that mean a lot to me.  I also tend to get really attached if I do become friends with, so to any of you reading this, my deepest apologies for my clinginess... Just know I really appreciate you(:

There are also a lot of other things that make me a nerd, and I could go on, but I must go complete my other homework!
