i find myself particularly meticulous in organizing things. i create lists of seemingly useless information, just because i might happen to need it someday. there's a fine line between "neat" and "mania," of which i have been able to navigate thus far with some above-average success.
it's as if i am constantly in preparation for something outstanding, but have no clue what that may be. i mean, what would i have gained by being able to fold clothes really really well, or create databases for the storing of my photographic negatives by date, subject, and location, or fry a non-oily egg so that the bottom is all nice and crispy and brown while the top is cooked just perfect enough to not have the snotty egg-white all oozing; the yolk hot and intact?
an abundance of useless perfections perfected in the hope that these high standards will pay off somewhere. i'm even sure that these 'talents' go underappreciated by people who don't fully realize the unnecessary amount of time i spend organizing my bookshelves at home by subject, size, and reading frequency. it almost nearly boggles the mind in a very underwhelming way.
but, i'm sure of one thing. there will be a day when someone will come along and be begging for the secrets of how i put together my super dvd collection, have the distinct ability to find out which pens in my can-o-pens are usable or not, and the ability to create the craziest banana-blueberry waffles ever. it'll happen. just be patient. also. two words: duck tape? think about it.
and if you don't believe for a moment that useless skills can't come in handy at opportune times, check out these two super nerdy sites. it'll be sorta dorky at first, but then you're just going to have to do it yourself. and i'll tell you what...they're kinda rad.

tonight's home work:
try to think about ways that you are underappreciated, then find someone and explore the activity together. who knows? you might make a new nerd-friend. i know i'd hang out with you.

non stick pan, little bit of oil (for the crisp), egg.
heat oil in nonstick pan on high.
crack egg into pan, reduce heat to minimum but not too minimum.
cover pan with lid, leave for about a minute (or keep checking)(the trapped heat cooks the top).
slide perfect egg onto plate.
crispy on the underside, egg white not snottily oozing, yolk hot and intact.
