I sometimes forget that I really am a nerd. This came to light, again, when I was driving to the airport this past Sunday. I literally clapped my hands when I realized that I was going to be in the car when the puzzlemaster was going to be on NPR. I LOVE yelling out the answers before the person calling in. I literally Sit up straighter, bounce up and down and vocalize my answers. I get similarly excited when “Wait, Wait don’t tell me” comes on. I never thought about how silly this probably seems to other people, including the folks I’m sharing the road with. How can something so silly (and nerdy) give me so much joy? But I will take it.
I’ll embrace my nerdiness and take my joy. Also, it’s fun and free and makes me smarter J I hope that A finds fun in random trivia and brain teasers. So I need to embrace my love of it and try to pass it on.
Are there things that make you happy that seem really nerdy? That you are embarrassed to admit that you love?
