The way I know I'm too big a nerd for my own good is when I get way too excited about things. My heart bubbles, I giggle, and sometimes stomp my feet with glee at things that are rather silly. For instance, about five minutes ago, my joy turned to solemn embarrassment with the solidification of my dorkdom.
Standing in my bathroom, I brushed my teeth with extra vigor. I am going to the dentist tomorrow morning, and of course I want to impress my dental hygienist with my always perfect teeth. Once done with my teeth, I brushed my retainer. The retainer I've been wearing since I was 14, the one that makes me lisp when I try speaking with it in.
As I brushed the old, stupid thing that I only wear every few nights when no one can see, I remembered that my dentist has a cleaning thing that he runs my retainer through that makes it extra clean.
And, I dorked out. I whispered softly "Yeah!" and stomped my feet a little, before realizing what exactly I was celebrating. I shook my head and put my retainer in.
But, honestly, a clean retainer is going to be AWESOME. It just always is.

I lost my top retainter years ago, but the dentist here in Sitka thinks that it is un-needed and refuses to make me another.
