Me, a nerd?

So most of you that know us, know that I'm the "cool" one and Dustin is the "nerd" one right? This is something not open for discussion because it's obvious! UNTIL... Dustin's cousin and her friend spent a couple of days here to go to a Star trek convention and we were all having a conversation in my living room when Dustin was making fun of the girls for being nerds and I said "Ohhh look WHO is talking, you're such a nerd!!". Also, I may or may not have said that I was the only cool person in the house at the moment ( I probably included my dog too). He looked at me and said "Ohhh reeeeally? And WHO is so excited to read the new 'vampire' book?" GASP! I could not believe my ears, did he just imply that I'm a nerd?

For those of you who don't know what he is talking about, he means the Twilight series written by Stephenie Meyer. She is an author who graduated from BYU (we won't hold that against her), so her books are LDS-living appropriate. The book is pretty much a love story between this teenage girl who is in love with a vampire. Dustin claims it to be a "nerdy" book because vampires do not exist. I believe I have the right to disagree with that!
So the girl and the vampire are both in high school which made me weird at first because I'm not into teenage literature. But when I started reading the first book I could NOT stop, it was so well written and so much fun! When I was done with the first book, I couldn't wait to read the second one and then the third one! THEN, about a month ago Kathryn told me the writer was about to release a FOURTH book being part of the series. I cannot lie, I was VERY excited! I even went to the writer's homepage to find out when exactly the book would be released... August 2nd! It was only in a couple of days... how FUN!

But it's not like I went to the bookstore and stayed in line to get the book! Now, as far as the people that actually did that... well, they are on their own! That is pretty nerdy!!!!

Anyway, I wasn't even going to buy the book right away (I think), I was willing to wait until it got released on paperback. So the fact that my very good friend Kathryn gave me the book and I didn't have to wait doesn't make me a nerd! It makes me lucky! And the fact that I'm reading a book that teenagers are going crazy about, doesn't make me a nerd! It just means that I'm open to new and exciting things! :) If you haven't read any of the books, read the first one! It's totally worth it! And it will not make you a nerd!
