i almost fell off the couch, i was so happy. now, i'm not a stamp collector, but i do have a fascination for comic books and superheroes. when i heard that the post office was releasing these stamps i was pretty happy. when stephen gave me a whole sheet, i completely geeked out and thanked him a dozen times. it struck me in that instant that this was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for me. he was in the post office mailing invitations for a Pampered Chef show we're doing, saw them, thought of me, and bought them. he knew they'd make me happy, so he bought them. nobody i've ever dated ever thought of me when i wasn't there. i was so moved i almost cried. i'm planning on having them matted and framed because i thought they looked so cool. when i told him so, i asked him if he thought i was a geek for doing so. he said (without thinking), that Yes i am a geek but it's ok because he has a thing for geeks.
now, i know it's true: i am a geek. we've been there, we've done that. i just didn't like hearing it from the man i love. i'd like to think that he's so blinded by love for me that labels like geek or fat are completely eclipsed. i guess i'm just a little sensitive and terribly over optimistic that way. i'm not mad, upset or miffed. i'm totally over it (if, indeed, there was anything to be over), it was just a bit more reality than i needed after getting off the He Loves Me high, y'know?

Sweetie - we are all geeks. Seriously. I, more than most, I think. It's not a bad thing. It's part of the things that we love about each other. And part of the reason why Stephen loves you. Because it's you. And remember - it's the geeks that rule the world.
Are you kidding me with this? I'm glad you're over the whole "You are a geek" thing because I've been telling you that for years and if you're not over it, I'll slap you.
Slap me.
Aquaman is hot.
Please. We all have identifiers. Now that we're not throwing toys at one another all thise names take on new meanings. First - I would never consider you fat. Second - there's something very charming about 'geekiness' and there are all kinds of geeks. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm a closet geek and neurotic - that's just who I am and I try to embrace it. Tina's a geek and she's sexy. It's not so bad. Love who you are. You are wonderful!
You like how I didn't post that I'm SUPER jealous that you have those stamps? So jealous that I want to come over there and rip them out of your hands?
