#Randombling: That Nerdy Chick

Randombling: A 5 minute long unedited random stream of consciousness produced by a nerd for nerds.

 

#nowplaying: Dancing with Myself- Glee

 

Wow, just had literally the most insanely awesome day. For reals, started with a tweet this morning from Annie Automatic's @iamfrench, and dude!!! I got to hang out in studio all day with them!!! Yeah, expect a post and a vid tomorrow about it ... fucking epic.

 

Just got back from @bryceless' bday fiesta, and dooodeeee! OMG I met the hottest guy ever. Like for reals, he is a fucking freak of nature. Flat out, I do not know where this human being came from. He just got back from spending 4 years in the Andes, and I swear to goodness, I was praying for a Zombie Apocalypse just so I could have all 100,000 of his nerdy babies on the spot. Dude, he's totally younger than me too ... I didn't really know how to process it all. It was very overwhelming, in every awesome way. YESSS!!! Hope for mankind ...

 

Dude, there is so much shit going on with this blessed little site right now, I'm just floored. So, so, so grateful for everything ... and SUPPERRRRR stoked about life! So yeah, I try not to live with any expectations, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't keeping my fingers crossed about this nerd calling me. I am trying not to tell myself that I don't realistically have even a minute to date someone, and just staying with this crazy feeling of butterflies. Which feels really, really, really, crazy good btw.

 

I am really starting to get so much more of where I want this site to go btw. I just want to document the human experience through the eyes of nerds - that's it. I am fascinated by hearing life experiences, and obviously experiencing my own. I sort of don't know how just yet I want all of it to go down, but its like the MTV series True Life, but for nerds. And we're lifecasters. And yeah ... I am onto something, just don't know what yet.

 

OH AND OH OH OH!! Was talking to @iamfrench today, and he's still BFFs with The Woz, and he offered to try and get him to answer a few questions for us. I said, OMG! that would be amazing even just a few. And he goes, why not just 1. Make it good, and epic. Fucking brilliant. Ask for an interview, and only ask literally one question. What to ask the Woz!?!?!

 

I just ... I just ...  I just ... have to go masturbate after staring at that hot delicious nerd all evening. Buenos nachos.

#Randomblings: Dude.... what?

Now Playing: Hurt Me Soul - Lupe Fiasco

Oh em gee. Things are fantastic. I just wanted to share that with you guys. I'm in the process of weeding out the things that don't feel good in life. It feels great to know that I'm not going to be a slave to things that I don't need / want.  It's great knowing that I'm going to be making and shaking. Jen has been a huge support and made me realize my potential. I'm smart, clever, creative, and fucking awesome. If someone doesn't see that, that's on them and I need to move on to someone that does see it. Otherwise, I'm just wasting my time. So, I'm awesome. Just so we're clear. 

 

I went shooting yesterday. That was fun! I hadn't shot a gun in at least 5 years. That's bad considering I own a few rifles and shotguns. I just haven't gotten around to it. Yesterday was my first time shooting a handgun. Also weird considering how long I've been around guns. It felt so good! We're going to take Jen out shooting in the near future. I think she held her first gun at my house the other night. Haha, she's a natural Rambo. 

 

This is totally going over the 5 minute limit, but that's okay. I do what I want! I'm also looking for a place to live in the LA area. Just throwing that out there because there are people that know people that know people that do favors for people that work for the President on this site. This is one of the steps I'm taking to take myself out of a position where I'm doing something I don't want to do. Life is too short to spend any time unhappy. 

 

There might be some other opportunities rolling through which I am very excited about. I don't want to say anything before it's a sure thing, but yes... exciting. That will put me in a very solid position to do more of what I love. I'd be able to spend more time on our nerdy little website too. *pant pant* I can't wait! Anyway, I love you guys. Thank you! Feel free to follow me on Twitter and friend me on Facebook!

#nowplaying: John Mayer- Belief

 

OOHHH goodness this is going to be longer than 5 minutes. What a day. I'm pretty pooped. See this face ... me = very pooped puppy. I love what I do, that's incredibly genuine ... but I really do ever wonder if there is a balance to all of this? I literally am just this crazy passionate nerdy chick that went on this adventure. It's pretty matter of fact. Just thought this would make a bitchin portfolio, it wasn't really my intention to go this far ... but it just felt so good, I couldn't stop. I got an email yesterday from this guy on FB in the UK saying that this show was looking for someone in LA. I sent them the email with my Facebook, this site, and my twitter ... within 24 hours I have already sent them a vid with the footage they requested. I mean crazy shit, and that's nothing!! This happens to me all day everyday! I just tell people, I want to live life. That's it, and sooooooo much has happened from it. I know social media - I get it in a very freaky, freaky, way. By not labeling myself in a specific manner, or tying myself into a company ... it made things happen a lot faster. Who doesn't want to deal with a nerdy chick? Dude, I had some very high profile clients - and it was always, Jen is such a nerd ... talk to her ... I mean nuts. Even now, as I type this on my brand new MacBook Pro, there is just still that part of me that wonders, am I really crazy? Is this all really happening??I feel like success is just so much less of a tangible thing and so much more of a frame of mind. Given, I see the analytics to this site - so I guess there is a tangible component to it, but regardless, I'm not selling it. Just the opposite, I'm going to fund everything myself, and allow people to post without fear of advertisers or sponsors - just celebrating their own unapologetic awesomeness.

 

I just believe in something so strong for the first time in my life.

 

I can't shake it, it's this nagging thing that gets me up every.single.morning, very excited to be alive. Literally, every 10 minutes of my day is allocated to something ... I didn't even know it was physically possible to be so busy, yet at the same time, I have never gotten more things done.

 

I got an email from this guy the other day... see, as all this stuff is going on, I recognize that I am going to need help on a few projects, and I reached out to this guy - dug his stuff ... but he fucking pissed me off with his calls and emails. I have no attachments to anything, and if I drop off the radar for 5 minutes its because another project that has priority needs tending to. I am balancing so many things right now, its insane. To get any ONE thing accomplished in life, you have to have 10 of them up in the air. The management of all of this is absolutely insane. But I'm also 25, if not now - when?! Its just so much harder documenting all of this in real time, than being able to look back from my little bungalow in the jungle saying "when I was your age ..." I am my age. This is what I am doing. And if it weren't for this community, I don't know where I'd be. So from the very bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for allowing me every day to have an excuse for doing this, and for finding it interesting enough to watch. Again, we are ALWAYSSS accepting new peeps, so if you want to write for us ... feel free to send me a sample: JenFriel@TalkNerdyToMeLover.com

 

Oh and staff, everyone needs a new login. Send me an email and remind me to give you one. Love love love you all, thank you so much! #Nerdsunite indeed! xoxo

#nowplaying: Florence and the Machine - Dog Days are Over

 

OHHHMYYYYYGAAATTOOSSSS!!! I needed that. I fell asleep last night at like 9pm, and slept straight through until 7am this morning. I am just so effin stressed out!!!!! I have to have to have to get infront of FourSquare and Twitter this week. I know the peeps at Twitter saw the synopsis for the film, but goodness gracious, I need a release from either them or FourSquare. I have personal contact info for FourSquare, but still - people just don't get how time sensitive things are. IRL Ari Gold, says we have to have that before we can announce. And bahhhhhhh!!! It's just incredibly, incredibly, incredibly stressful.

 

I am also putting together my treatment for AOL. It's so hard for me to sit long enough to do paperwork of any kind while running this blessed little website, consulting for the crowd that has given me room and board, AND all the stuff with the film. OH! And I have to give all 33 staff members new logins, as our wonderful wonderful friends at Squarespace totally hooked us up. So yeah ... me right now = one very over cooked nerdy puppy. It's kosher though, I'm a tough chickie, I know I can get through it, but its just a lot to handle - and I have to be honest that even my cool as a cucumber demeanor is still like, which to do fiirrssttt?!?! They're ALL time sensitiveeee!! Which that feeling, btw, is totally the worst, cause when you have to decide what your next doable action is, you normally fail to do ANY of them. So, I just itemized my day out, and have allocated specific hours today to each task. Fortunately, when you are your own boss, you can close your door and shut off your phone, so there really are no intrusions.

 

The dog days are ovverrrr!!!

 

I feel it baby, I really feel it. ROCK ON!!! xoxo

#nowplaying: Set me free - Wicked Wisdom

 

Twas not but a few months ago that my brother hit me up with a query that i found most intriguing.  He asked me this.  When you wipe your ass do you wipe it sitting down or standing up?  Well I said to him of course I wipe it standing up.  How would you wipe it sitting down.  He went on to explain that apparently after someone caught him wiping his ass standing up they mocked him for his inability to wipe sitting down.  Apparently this is how most people wipe there asses.  You lean forward and stick your hand behind you and into the toilet.  O.o Oh hell no!  I'm sorry, but i just shit in that toilet.  No way will I ever stick my hand into a basin of water with turds floating in it. Course I'm a pretty curious guy and usually open to trying new things. Even though I still just don't feel I could get my butt super clean by wiping like that.  Either way I wan't to know how all this went down and tried it later. To my surprise your hand actually gets no where near the water.  Just in case though, I made extra super sure I didn't hit a bobbing turd and  went ahead and flushed to toilet. Tried it later the other way and nothing could obstruct my hand from the aforementioned wiping.  So I guess you can wipe your ass however you want to.  It's not like somewhere back in the history of shit people pass on someone said, "Hey! wipe your ass while your sitting down." No way did that happen.  We never used to wipe our asses sitting down it was standing up.  It wasn't until toliets came around.  So this is a relatively new thing as far as sense the dawn of human kind.  So that means some random person started making fun of someone else for standing up to wipe and it spread like wild fire that was unspoken because lets face it. Boy code dictates we not speak in the bathroom. I digress.  You should wipe your ass however you like. the important thing is that it's clean and you don't get shit on your hand. 

 


 

 To all you out there that read this randombling I ask you this.  How do you wipe your ass?  Also do you fold or scrunch up toilet paper to wipe.
