  Things I Don’t Regret

  Nerds are a weird breed. We do things… compulsively. Impulsively. Repeatedly. Obsessively. We just, embrace our lives with a certain verve that could lead to regrets. 

  You know what I mean. Mountain Dew induced gut rot regret on a Wednesday morning at work from a long-night of binge watching Doctor Who on Netflix the night before. 

  Here are the things I just refuse to regret as a nerd:

  • Re-watching my favorite shows over and over. Here’s to watching Sherlock Series 1 for the 6th time.

  • Buying that PlayStation 4. Yes, it’s not that big of an upgrade, but dammit, I am enjoying its company right about now. 

  • Getting up early on a Saturday morning to wait in the Comic Con badge room.

  • Sheepishly reaching out to fellow nerds and geeking out about their blogs. These people have become some of my best damn friends.

  • Spending outrageous amounts of money to travel to amazing places like Leavesden Studios in England. 

  • Calling myself a cat person. Still am.

  • Designing and buying the least practical couch in the world for optimal movie, gaming, tv watching. 

  • Midnight premieres. They are always exhausting. But so. damn. what.

  • Insisting everyone watch Orphan Black. All the time. 

  • Weird pizza toppings. Mac and cheese on pizza is a revelation.

  • Toys for grown ups. Designer toys, if you will. Expensive. Ridiculous. Not regrettable. 

  Why write this? Well, because I want to get beyond just not regretting these things. I want to … celebrate them. So awesome. Take those slightly embarrassing nerdy things you do and turn that on its head. Instead, shout it out and be weirdly parade-levels of proud.
