"If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads."

Yep, I'm weird. Maybe a better word is that I'm a full blown GEEK. I love Harry Potter and that's just scratching the surface. I'm a Trekkie, I like Star Wars, my favorite smell is an old book, my secret dream job is to be a librarian, and my favorite pass time is reading. For me, the greatest high comes from getting an A. The good news is I have friends who accept this. Maybe "accept" isn't the right word..."tolerate" is better. I've spent my life trying to hide this. My closest friends knew that I was a closeted bookworm who was probably going to become a librarian who spent the rest of her life alone with only the company of her books, but I tried really hard to hide this from the rest of the world. I still don't think you have to "act" the part. I LOVE to shop and nothing feels better than turning heads in a very expensive pair of heels. I like to look nice and play "adorable" female every chance I get, but that's for my own amusement. My point is, cliche's are just that: cliches. My best friend is the girliest person I know and she loves books as much as I do. Now the buck stops before all things fantasy with her, but that can be understood, lol. I have decided recently to let my freak flag fly. I'm done toning down my quirkiness. For those of you who know me, yes it was toned downed. Me becoming even more weird is probably shocking to my nearest and dearest, but why not? I'm through with niceties and the appearance I should want to portray. I don't want to be an anorexic, air headed, geek closeted, uninteresting, boring, level minded, bimbo projection as so many others are only so eager to fill. No sir. I'm gonna continue being me: quirky, weird, slightly inappropriate, overly compassionate, hopelessly romantic, fantasy enthralled, straight "A" making, book reading, naively hopeful, and way too loud self that I hope is who who everyone claims to love. Nothing better than self acceptance. Ahhh, cue sigh of relief :)
Besides, there's a man out there for someone like me. 
 "If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads."
