sad admission du jour

I know the difference between a Tetra Pak, a Tetra Brik, and a Tetra Rex.

So if anyone was ever wondering where I stand on the geek vs nerd line, I think there's your answer.

I'm just off to wear my anorak down to the local Trainspotters Anonymous meeting, where I will stand up and say "Hello, my name is helen-louise and I can identify different types of Tetra Pak from a long way away", and all the trainspotters will look terrified at me and run off next door to continue swapping numbers.

Huh. I didn't know those milk-carton-y things were Tetra Rexes. Now I am one step closer to utter geekdom, thanks to your journal.
