Fear Me, For I Am Eyez: The Searcher of Truth And Cookies

I don't know if I should really be getting such a feeling of validation and general awesomeness simply because I received a nickname from someone who I only know based upon his blog posts and Tweets, and who only knows me based upon a thesis title I wrote in the comments section of one of the aforementioned blog posts.

A bit of background for those lucky few of my readers out there who don't live inside my head (it's crazycakes in here). Dan Bergstein is famous in some circles as the author of the Blogging Twilight and Blogging Harry Potter series. Serieses? Plural series on Sparknotes.com. He is a bit of a folk hero to some of us geeky girls who spend too much time on the internet.

Anyway, in a recent Blogging Harry Potter post, the readers were told that if we came up with a thesis title (not the actual paper, mind you, just the title) we would be rewarded with a nickname. I submitted mine ("The Llamasaur: What It Is, Where It's Been Hiding, And It's Potential Effects On The Theory Of Evolution") and was rewarded with the nickname Eyez: The Searcher of Truth and Cookies.

I can already feel this Eyez personality developing. She's everything I wish I could be in my more insane moments. She probably rides a Llamasaur. The Llamasaur probably has a funny/clever name, like Poncho or Tenniseir. She's self confident and she fights crime, and she's sarcastic and smart and a little insane. And, of course, she spends her days searching for the perfect truth and the perfect cookie.

Then again, I'm totally reading way too much into this. It's just a nickname. But nonetheless, I still feel pretty awesome.

Eyez out!

P.S. I've found out how to insert a link!!! It's not as complicated as I assumed it was. I feel quite proud of myself.
