sometimes I wish I was an actual nerd

I am splitting with a grin right now because of the achingly endearing nerd couple sitting at the table outside my office discussing--oh so earnestly--the heresy of having Frodo Baggins as a character in the upcoming Hobbit movie. She's adamantly opposed; he can see how it might possibly work. I like the way they are sitting at angles, just avoiding eye contact, and I like the way the boy one is gesturing wildly with his hands while the girl one is quickly glancing toward him and then back away with her fingers twisting through her hair. Bless their little spectacled heads. May the weight of their oversized backpacks never bow them down.
