#NerdsUnite: On Bonding, The Bachelor and Getting Deeper.
<editorsnote> Nerds, meet my buddy Liz. She's an interFASHIONal badass currently working in the social space. She's super passionate about all things hair, and my or may not be sweating while she is tweeting. Wait, no - that came out wrong ... I mean chicks sweat and all, but dudes don't really want to know that ... they just think we "glisten." I don't mean to still be talking - shut up Jen. HIT IT LIZ!! </editorsnote>

I realize that some of you are rolling your eyes right now and thinking some version of “This is going to be an epic waste of my time”, and I mean, yeah yeah it might be.
However.
If I'm going to be forced to watch this show, you're going to be forced to read about it. See, my boyfriends mom and I watched the first episode of this season together, and she was really into it-talking shit on the girls in her strong Eastern European accent, questioning their fashion choices, telling me in no uncertain terms that Ben the Bachelor basically sucks and I am oh so lucky to have her son. She was more entertaining than the show, clearly. Anyway, ever since ithen t's become our super cute bonding thing. She calls me to talk about each show and sends me emails with links to gossip sites during the week. I finally feel like we have something to talk about.
I just laughed at how pathetic that last sentence made me sound. Hey, you take what you can get and I'm excited that we have something, no matter how trivial, to bring us together. It's surface...but it's helping me get deeper.
My boyfriend's parents are from, as he says “The old country”...they are full of old school traditions and culture and are so different from my born and raised L.A parents. I know that they love me, but I also sure as hell know that they simply don't understand whatsoever how the hell their beloved youngest son met me. Online? The Internet? What is this online dating that you speak of? Sounds shady...it's probably a scam.
As with most things, it's probably all in my head. They're a lot more progressive and understanding then I give them credit for, and I came out of the womb overanalyzing everything. But still...I'm watching the Bachelor tonight so I can laugh about it with my boyfriends mom in the morning. Tonight, the Bachelor is more important than the GOP debate (both pretty stupid if ya ask me....), oh and also? I hope these girls just keep getting crazier and crazier because in the morning when I'm talking to her, I can't wait to say “Why yep, I met your son on the scary internet, but at least it wasn't on a reality show.”
