No way, did that really just happen?


Now, I am a nerd. I recognize that, and I'm kind of proud to be a nerd. I'm sitting here in class right now and my professor (who I really like - he is a way nice guy) was talking about properties of metal. I kind of zoned out until the music started.... "Wait. What is that? Is that seriously the Lord of the Rings soundtrack?" Next thing I knew I was sitting through a 45 minute lecture on the magical properties of the different swords used in the Lord of the Rings, the viability of actually creating a ring with magical properties, the proper sword to be used to kill a spider, why the dwarves were worse at making tools then the elves, the oxidation of swords made in the casting pits of the Nazgul, etc.
I couldn't believe my ears. My professor kept saying: "I hope I'm not rambling. I hope I'm not digressing. I hope I'm not wasting your time." The saddest thing was I couldn't leave because I was in the middle of the room, and I could tell that he was so passionate about what he was talking about that I didn't want to hurt his feelings.
Then the fateful moment...Someone in my class raised their hand and made a point of something that was different in the movie from the book (I think it was something about a sword that broke or something) - well my Professor wouldn't have that. He knew that it was the same. He even referenced a page # while arguing his case... Wow.
So what did I do? I sat through it. I wanted to leave very badly (I had a lot of things to do) but I didn't want to hurt his feelings.... I thought about muttering something about saving middle earth as I made my way to the door...

Hidden Messages

I found this information on a friends blog and thought it was pretty cool. In the Taylor Swift album cover for the CD she has the lyrics for all her songs. There are some "randomly" capitalized letters in each song. Well they are so random after all. If you put all the capitalized letters in each song into a sentence it completes her hidden meaning...

1. Tim McGraw--CANT TELL ME NOTHN
2. Picture to Burn--DATE NICE BOYS
3. Teardrops on my Guitar--HE WL NEVER KNOW
4. A Place in This World--I FOUND
5. Cold As You--TIME TO LET GO
6. The Outside--YOU ARE NOT ALONE
7. Tied Together With a Smile--YOU ARE LOVED
8. Stay Beautiful--SHAKE N BAKE (The name of someone she mentions in her thank you's at the end of the CD)
9. Should've Said No--Actually... I'm going to tell you this one at the end... it's my favorite...
10. Mary's Song (Oh My My My)--SOMETIMES LOVE IS FOREVER
11. Our Song--LIVE N LOVE

In Should've Said No it's the name of the boy --- SAMSAMSAMSAMSAM
