Previously Uncharted Territory.

In true MissTurnips fashion, I've just started this blog and I'm already procrastinating. You'd think I'd learn. But with God's help, I really am trying to get better at keeping on top of things. I'm of the persuasion that sometimes if, for example, you pray for patience, God doesn't directly give it to you. Rather, he gives you the opportunity to be patient.  I'm looking at this little blog as God giving me an opportunity to keep track of something.  Hopefully he'll also give me the mental capacity to remember to do it :)

Lots of things have happened in the past month or so that I've been slacking.  I've got a new boyfriend, Josh. He's a strong Christian, smart, and funny. I'm completely blown away by his kindness and strength of character. But more mushy stuff later. The current topic of this post concerns the fact that he is a huge nerd. Which brings me to the topic of this post. I write to you, dear follower(s), from Mississippi State University, where Josh and I have roadtripped this rainy Saturday afternoon.  Why are we here? you may ask. I have ventured into previously uncharted territory for your average blonde sorority girl.

Yes. I, MissTurnips, am at a Super Smash Bros videogame tournament.

As you might imagine, I'm the only girl in the room. And here I sit in my black Steve Madden suede boots, just as excited as anyone else here. I've been thoroughly embracing my own nerdy side, which certainly exists, and having a complete ball doing it.  

Well, I'm off to forge bravely ahead with Shiek, my character of choice.  No doubt, I will go down dreadfully to nerds more skilled than I.  Ah well, I've fought the good fight!
