Use your Brain Child

When I was a teenager my mother put on a play for the young women in our church. It was based on four girls who each had a dream, one was to be a mother (this was played by my mother) one was to marry a star, one was to be a star....and the last one was to be smart. She sang a song that said "Use your brain child, use your brain child, go to college if you can... Use your brain, child use your brain child for you may not get a man." This has been the theme of my life. 

I have a bachelor's degree in political science, a MBA in marketing and now I am working on getting back into school in a PHD program in political science. Which means I should be studying for the GRE instead of blogging...oops my bad. It has taken me a while but I have come to terms with being a straight out nerd.  I think they need to make a website where other nerds can congregate and talk in our nerdy talk. 

Let me show you an example of my nerdiness. On Valentines day I as a woman without a mate/date celebrate Single awareness day. My friend Crystal was kind enough to celebrate this with me and last year we decided we should wear ribbons to bring awareness to the plight of the single individual. So we wore our neon green ribbons and I told everyone what awareness we were working towards. Only a few people saw the conundrum that existed in this little joke. Most everyone is a single individual, you have no other individual attached to you, I am speaking physically and not metaphorically. I know, I know... I am a nerd. Even typing this out I think it is wicked funny. So maybe next Valentines day you can wear your ribbon and bring awareness to the plight of the single individual, ie. you. 

This might be reason number 567 that I am single and I need to 'use my brain child, use my brain child' and go back to college if I can... because I do not get a man...   :)
