• I mean Hank, the movie was great, but the thirty minutes before the movie started was what I love about being a nerd. Because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. We don't have to be like, 'Oh yeah that purse is okay' or like, 'Yeah, I like that band's early stuff.' Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself-love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they are saying is, 'You like stuff', which is just not a good insult at all, like 'You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness'

Today's John Green's birthday, so I thought we should celebrate with one of my favorite quotes ever. This particular quote came from his YouTube video "Harry Potter Nerds Win at Life", one of many videos on his awesome Vlogbrothers channel. He is also the author of a bunch of great books (you can read my review of An Abundance of Katherines). The pure awesomeness of this quote means that I don't have to analyze it. As the title of the video says, nerds win at life. Period.
