I feel that this one story will illustrate in a myriad of ways just how nerdy I am. Count with me.
It is a Friday night and Mr. Sollywood and I spend it at his grandparents house. (1) After which we leave early not because they want us to but because I want to go shopping. (Not nerdy you say?, just insensitive- just wait for it.) I wanted to go to Ikea to get a bookcase. (2) But two might as well be three as we already own a bookcase which is full of books. To the point where each square is actually doubled with books. (3) See:
This is six feet by six feet. We got a second one just like it. Also the fact that I took a picture of it is (4). So we go into Ikea and because it is crazy busy I can't get one of those bed carts, so I am all impatient and find a regular shopping cart to put these three HUGH boxes on. I am wheeling it outside and the entire cart falls over as I exit the building and the heavy boxes fall to the ground so SO loudly along with the cart. The crowd of people there all turn and stare at me and my fallen things+ cart and I bow and say 'end scene.' (5) Which surprisingly someone gets, claps and says encore!!! Which made me so happy that I laughed and clapped my hands like a little kid. (6)Some of these might be more dorky than nerdy... BUT STILL.
On a side note as we were putting the boxes into the back of our car a girl walks by and says that she used to own a sunfire with red interior! (Our car, in case you were wondering, is a sunfire with red interior.) And she called it her little red rocket. hahah to which Mr. Sollywood shouts I call mine the big red! and for the next hour I thought about the interesting difference between the male use of 'big' and the female use of 'little' in their car names. (7)
End Scene
(new bookcase, and you should know all of the books from the case above are in storage still. These are all new in the last three months.)
Also I got two Rembrandt prints for Christmas. So cool!
