I am Not a Nerd
I finished reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and I, Brianna Hannah Montana Rosanna Danna, who once suspected myself of some slight leanings towards nerdiness, am now certain that I am not, and never have been, a nerd of any stripe, polka-dot, or classic Burberry. Hear that, SteveDallas? I am NOT one of you!
So. How did all you nerds rope me in for so long? It's been---years! I'm going to go to Uni now and smoke with the cool kids. Man, you people are nerds. Esp. you girls.

You are a nerd Bri.
This is a phase. I think you need to step slowly away from that book and let someone with your best interests at heart take it away and burn it. |

You may not be a nerd, but you are certainly a nurd.

:::Knowingly glances in Bri's direction remembering when she too tried to deny her own destiny:::
Go on Bri, spread your wings. We'll leave a light on.

Well, I knew immediately where that quote came from...but it is probably the more dramatic of that movies scenes, so remembering it isnt that unusual.
