BEDA Day 11: Oh Baby!

Hello my dearest blog readers! Today I come to you from my dining room table, rather than my room (because of course you all knew that I always blog from my room, why wouldn't you know this?). This is because I was playing Lord of the Rings: ONLINE with Rachel, and I needed a better surface to play on. I have a sad lack of desk in my room. 

It's a pretty quality game, and if you are into the series and like MMORPGs, I recommend it so far. On a related note, my sister made fun of me for saying "MMORPG." I guess it let some of my nerd show? Psh, please. I can't be tamed.*

Today three of my best friends came over on a whim. It is entirely possible that it was the last time I will see them until Christmas break. Hopefully we can arrange some way to hang out this weekend, though. It is sad to say goodbye to people who made such a profound difference in my life the past four years, but it would be so much worse to go without seeing them at all. I'm going to miss them terribly. 

For now, I leave you with this cute baby.**

With raging nerdiness,

Maggie

*On a whim I did a google search for "can't be tamed nerd parody," hoping that some awesome video would come up that I could link. I only found this.

BEDA Day 9: An Abundance of Geekiness

In exactly a week from now, I will be sitting in my new dorm room. All of my stuff will be moved in and put in place, and my parents and sisters will be back home. My roommate won't be there yet, so I will have one night by myself.

As excited as I am about this huge change which is looming ever closer, I just can't bring myself to talk about it right now. It would feel too self-indulgent. Because I KNOW that once I get to school it's going to be IOWA STATE this and IOWA STATE that. So for now, I will spare you.

Instead, let us talk about alcohol. Specifically, butterbeer. Specifically specifically, a non-alcoholic butterbeer recipe that I am going to try. So I guess we AREN'T talking about alcohol after all...

Regardless, today I went to the grocery store and bought all necessary ingredients for BUTTERBEER. And tomorrow I am going to brew the concoction. And then, I am going to DRINK IT!

I also might make butterbeer cupcakes again. These were the the product of my last try.

This next time around (if I actually end up making them), they will be mini cupcakes. Let us all take a moment to collectively say "Awwww!" Mini cupcakes. Aw yeah.

I believe that is all I have to say. I am going to go browse the Magic the Gathering forums and perhaps play a bit of Lord of the Rings Online with Rachel. Have a wonderfully geeky day.

With geekitude,
Maggie
