Not to be a nerd or anything...

I decided to compile all the different ways I have been a nerd/geek/loser in the past...

I'm a ghost! And I'm delicious!
1) Baking nerd.
I love baking, and baking loves me. I create tasty treats from time to time, such as the ghostie cake I made for the Halloween Shabbat I celebrated with my loves last year. I believe it was funfetti cake with white frosting and chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth. I really wish I could quit school and open a bakery, because that would be amazing.  I haven't had much time or convenience to bake as of late, but I did make some apple pie bites for my friend Graham. They turned out pretty good, especially since I melted caramel into/onto them at the end. I have to keep in supplied in baked goods for teaching my photoshop and camera things, so I'll let you know what else I come up with!


Oh Platform 9 3/4, why won't you open for me?

2) Harry Potter nerd.
There are no words for how much I love Harry Potter. My parents gave me the first three books for Christmas when I was ten years old or so, and since then I've been hooked. I've been to midnight premieres for the past three movies, and the midnight book releases for the last two books and the Costco opening for the fourth book. I re-read the series again every summer. I didn't have time to dress up as a character (Cho Chang, probably) for any of the premieres but I do have a few HP paraphernalia, and spin-offs including 'Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them.' I have been diligently waiting for my Pottermore email, but I'm not so anxious anymore since the site will be open to the public soon anyways. I want to be magical =(
