They're apparently making a new reality show about "Nerd Girls". It's going to be about the unconventional love lives of a bunch of university engineering chicks. Except that the girls that they picked were clearly not nerdy at all. Engineering majors they may have been, but they weren't ~nerdy~. They seemed quite together and girly and confident and socially capable.

A reality show about *real* nerd girls, the kind pulled out of anime clubs and science bowls, that's what I would like to see. This isn't going to do anything but create a lot of false perceptions. Granted, I guess you can't expect more from a reality show. Still, it disappoints me that only the slickest, most diva-tastic women are the ones that get the spotlight, even when they are flaunting the "nerdiest" sides of their nature.

Totally unrelated, but I took out my Japanese textbook out today, and reviewed all of the first semester stuff on a whim. It was refreshing, and enjoyable. I really don't know how I feel about Japanese. Sometimes I feel like it's just annoying and I have no affinity for it...but other times it's just...really fun. I definitely have SOME relationship with it, which is annoying because I can't figure it out.

...Also, I'm probably one of the few people on Earth (a select few on my flist being others) who can have an "it's complicated" relationship with a LANGUAGE.

...That said, I'm pretty sure my relationship with foreign language in general is more complicated still. Aheh.

Maybe you should make that relationship with Japanese facebook official?

I can't, then Spanish will know I've been cheating. D:

Relación of san?

A ménage à trois?
Oh, I don't think Spanish will mind as long as it gets in on the fun. And Japanese shouldn't care too much, unless it turns into a public spectacle. Though Japanese might also try to sell it as an idea for an Anime ;p

Cute picture btw.

Hahahahaa thats so perfect, and exactly how it would go. I'm scared to think of the pervs who would patronize that anime >>;

As for the icon, do you know Azumanga Daioh? IF NOT THEN YOU MUST MUST MUST BORROW IT FROM JEFF WHEN YOU ROOM NEAR HIM NEXT YEAR. I know for a fact that he owns the whole manga. :D The anime is cute too, but the manga is the truly epic win. <3

Well, Japanese and Spanish are already having an illicit affair in Bleach, as well as other anime probably.

I don't know Azumanga Diaoh, but I'll certainly borrow it from Jeff in the fall when I have time.

Penis... I mean Sandy Vage......
Jeremy apparently opted out of rooming with us next year, so it's gonna be Matt, Pat, me, and some random fourth guy :(

LMAO no way he didn't xD

Lol I guess it's for the best though. At least this way Robin and Jeremy can fuck all they want without Jeff and Pat bothering them.

I think Jeff, John, and Rizzo have a random 4th guy rooming with them, too...

LMAO I have an "it's complicated" relationship with French. XD My feelings for Spanish and Japanese are simpler. But even talking about our studies of languages in terms of relationships and feelings makes us pretty special. XD

That reality show sounds disappointing, yet I'm interested in it despite myself. A reality show featuring *real* nerd girls would be cool, though.

I think only way to make this show properly would be to make an amateur production and post it online.

Watch it be more popular than the "real" show.  Then it gets picked up for a season on one of the networks, but ends up being so bastardized that it sucks.
