You Might Be A Nerd If...

You Might Be a Nerd If….
…you are 60 years old and writing about ideal weight charts.
…you both skinny and fat in the gym and pull a weight lifting chart out or your pocket.
… your pockets are full of flash drives, paper, pocket knife, keys, change, tissues…
... you get excited about your new blue uniforms.
... it takes two trips to the car to return library books.
…you do not change socks before jogging.

That is right, I am talking about myself.  I am feeling a little bit guilty talking about ideal body measurements when I struggle to touch my toes, have varicose veins, a receding hair line, and can not quite seem to get rid of my love handles.
How did I get the number one page on the internet when one searches for the ideal body measurements for women and the ideal body measurements for men?   I do not even like the idea of perfection, and I would hate to be in a relationship with someone who was obsessed with having an ideal body.  My intent was really to show that when it comes to “ideal” everyone has a different idea, and it is what you think is ok that really matters. (and I really like charts and numbers.)

I feel like this from the movie "The Jerk" when Navin got his name in the phone book:


Navin R. Johnson: The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!
Harry Hartounian: Boy, I wish I could get that excited about nothing.
Navin R. Johnson: Nothing? Are you kidding? Page 73 - Johnson, Navin R.! I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.
[the Sniper points to Navin's name in the phone book]
Sniper: Johnson, Navin R... sounds like a typical bastard.
