I went through much of my life believing that I was a true blue nerd. That is, until I met NickHuntDavis. He made me realise I was nothing but a shallow nerd-husk housing a pathetic wannabe. He deserves to win. He deserves your votes.
You too shall be the proud (if not short lived) owner of numerous gleeful high fives! The only way a true Nerd knows how! Awkwardly and clumsily.

Dudes – you’re making my life a misery here, if you have nothing more to say besides “thank you” for your votes, can’t we just assume that every one is grateful and cut out the extra noise coming through my blackberry with each increasing “thank you” comment?
i don’t mean to discourage comments, but i’m looking at the incoming comments and nearly half of them on this post are thanking individuals for voting, these aren’t necessary.
if you’d really like to thank – do so in your own space and maybe encourage more votes by taking part in the auction, get creative.
kthxbi.
LauraKim – FTW!!!
