living with nerds

Top Ten things you deal with/learn when you live with software engineers...

10. The language barrier. With words being thrown around like "Pwned", "interwebs" and "Buk Buk"...(what does that even mean?!) I am slowly learning their language. But I still find it difficult to communicate, so far I have learned "I am hungry" equates to "Can I has a Chzbrger?"

9.The ever present complaints of carpel tunnel, hand cramps and whatever else ails a man who has been sitting at his computer all damn day.

8. Darts are a superb way to spend breaks...because hurting your hands on a keyboard for 12+ hours a day should be supplemented by tightening your hands around and throwing thin pieces of plastic at a board.

7. The smell of cup O noodles is ever present and as strong as the scent of curry! These guys with no time or appetite for anything else, eat cup o noodles as part of their job. I'm pretty sure they took an oath.

6. No myspace talk allowed. Unless it's to talk about the terrible "interface?" or whatever the hell it is... I don't care... Even though they have accounts too it is "strictly to keep up with friends" umm isn't that why Myspace was thought up in the first place?Whatever.

5. The disillusion that one needs only to buy a new article of clothing every 5 years or so...All new shirts are taken from the incessant conventions they have...perhaps to validate to themselves they are all still out there. They do not understand the term "shop therapy" and think that I have made it up....I don't need validation however, because I know it works and I will buy new clothing any chance I get...it's what normal people do.

4.Their idea of dressing up includes wrinkled khakis and a matching wrinkled polo shirt. These can be worn with sneakers.

3. Blogs are a great way to make friends now that there is no time for video games anymore. The more popular your blog...the more friends you will make. The best part is that the blog is in a cryptic nerd code so no one normal can understand....score one for the nerds!

2.Pictures of cats saying stupid things....Grown men with a passion for little fuzzy kitties and still insist they are not gay. Riiighhhht...

1.The most extreme weirdos will be successful. After my roommate showed me pictures of really rich people with viking hats and 5 chins...asking me what I thought about them...I can only conclude that I am in fact going about this whole trying to be rich thing all wrong. I will purchase my viking hat ASAP. I just need to know where to look...the "interwebs" perhaps?



To add to this I have also discovered that by my simply having breasts, I can control the world...Behold the power that is boobs.
