My Nerdtastic-ness

So i was being SUPER nerdtastic today. A little while ago i found a mythology encyclopedia on the discount shelf of Walden's Books.
Now, the discount shelf is my favorite place to meander around in book shops. It is full of the insane, weird, misfit books.* The books that NO ONE wants to read and can be bought for about $5. They may have defects, typos, damage, or just be really sucky books.** This is where i found my lovely mythology encyclopedia for $9.99.

It is very heavy and has not just Greek and Roman mythology but Celtic and Asian mythology. So, today i armed myself with sticky notes and a pen and began reading. every myth that i found that had some relevance to a play, movie, book, or show i have ever seen or heard of, I marked. And i was VERY surprised at the amount of mythology that is present in our everyday society. Soon my book became like this:


An Example.

so, yes i am a freak and yes, i am a nerd.

You know you want me,
