certified cool nerd :p

Modern, Cool Nerd 65 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 21% Dork

For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd. Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)! Congratulations!

How I Spent My Birthday
The guys at Fleur D' Lys (Timog) were the sweetest:

Two mouth-watering cakes to celebrate my 24th birthday!

Strawberry Cream Pie
Just yummy. The chocolate made the always panalo combination of strawberry & cream even more delicious. And notice the legally blonde-ish water tumbler? haha!

(The Fleur D' Lys guys were not only excellent bakers, they were super thoughtful too. Upon learning it was my birthday, this actually came walking up the stairs, on the house.)


The Pavlova Cheesecake

A strawberry meringue cake topped with peaches, kiwi and strawberrys.
And look, a green "happy birthday"!

Maybe they felt sorry i was spending my birthday alone?
Or, maybe it was because i chose to spend it at their lovely place?
(can't blame me, their cakes were so yummy)
Either way, this was such a sweet treat.
