Nerds are like superheroes, because everyone has an origin story. My last post was ranting about my love of dragons as a small child, but now I'm going to tell you how I became a true nerd. It's a three-part story:
1: When I was 6, I saw that my mom was reading Harry Potter. I thought it looked cool, and demanded that she take me to the library so I could read it too. About three minutes into the first book, I decided that it was awesome and I've loved it ever since. Also, I know some people who still don't read it because it's too long. I tell them that I read it in first grade and that they should be ashamed.
2: In 5th grade, my parents made me try band, even though I didn't want to. It was one of those cases where your parents are right whether you like it or not. I love my trombones, Mrs. Blatsy von Blatsman and Trigger, and my baritone, Jaws. (Yes, I named them.)
3: I'm ashamed to say that I wasn't introduced to anime until last summer (Blame my lack of proper TV channels). I had seen the style before on DragonFable (which, by the way, is an awesome free game that you should play), but I didn't know anything about it. I was staying at my cousins' house for some reason, and they asked if I wanted to watch Dragon Ball Z Kai. I started watching it when everyone was on Namek, right before the Ginyu force arrived. I was so confused, but I still loved it. I remember the first line I heard- in a recap at the beginning of the episode, Bulma said "Oh Vegeta, you horrible monster!" I didn't know Vegeta. Then I found out who he was and I was all ZOMG EPIC SPIKY HAIR! :D
