Swashbuckled

Dear Sarah,

I am pretty sure you are the only member of the Lee’s Honor College to speak to me, ever. Not that the rest of my friends are stupid, far from it, but one would expect a person of you education to have better sense when it comes to choosing who you talk to. I have to admit being in class together was a pretty big bright spot for me. It was kind of like talking to someone from another country. I know that sounds weird, but your personality, diligence, intelligence and candor coupled with your freakish interest in honest-to-goodness nerdy stuff blew my mind.

Girls claiming to be nerdy has become so pervasive that memes have sprouted up mocking the trend. But you my dear, you are a nerd in the best possible sense. You are smart and dedicated to your studies and potential career. Your interests include; dressing up in fancy garments, helping out illin’ varmints, and climbing faux summits. You like sci-fi, you wear functional clothing, you laugh and smile with abandon. These things to me put you in the highest order of nerd, which is a distinction worth respect.

I was pretty damn nerdy myself growing up, sadly I have become far too traditional these days to still lay claim to the title. But its meeting people like you that give me wonderful flashes of what it was like, and make the posers with their ironic shirts, huge glasses, skinny jeans and sissy hair seem all that more ridiculous. I will greatly miss following your news feed as I have enjoyed many of the items you have posted, but hopefully we can find another way for me to steal some of your awesomeness.

In anycase I assume someday your maker movement personality will take over and you will be building and curating some massive collection of the worlds coolest shit. This is obviously not to mention the skills you possess as an artist, which as always are rather stunning.

Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,

Curt
