Dorkish

A friend of mine told me what a dork she is today. She said she watched her former college's basketball game on the computer. In my world, that is not dorky, it is normal. However, I do realize that my world is somewhat warped.

I have met some pretty dorky people in my life, but I would have never considered the ones who watch sports on the internet to be dorks. The guy that dresses up as an ewok and goes to star wars conventions: dork. The girl who goes to renaissance reenactments: dork. The kid who asks for extra homework over the weekend: dork. But, not this. In fact, to me, this is a pretty cool thing to do. A good way to spend part of your weekend.

As I mentioned, I know that I have a skewed view of reality, especially when it comes to basketball. If this friend of mine thinks it was dorky to throw on a basketball game and watch with interest, I am not sure what I would classify as. For, Jeff's team had a game this afternoon. Their last game of the season in fact. There was live streaming video of the game on the internet. Most games that have the streaming video have announcers. Incredibly ameteur announcing, but much better than the complete silence that came through the game today. So, I felt the necessary thing to do was to bring up the live stats, which update team and individual stats with each ensuing play, and the audio broadcast of the game. In order to not miss anything, I surrounded myself with it all:

I don't find myself to be dorky because of this. I have a list full of other reasons people can consider me dorky for, but not this. This is just me, being a big fan of my husband. Isn't that the way it is supposed to be?
