#00FF00

Girls dating geeks beware. I'm a girl and a geek thus I understand the phenomena, but it still makes me laugh quite a bit...

In late June I'm going to a wedding in the Philippines, thus I need a nice new dress. I love being able to dress up and am very excited by this prospect. It's an extension of my current shoe addition (btw - endless.com rocks for shoe purchases). Thus, I've already started looking for dresses (although I love clothes, I find it very hard to find cute youthful clothes that fit)! Very exciting.

I found a cute little jersey knit dress in white and green tropical print the other day and fell in love. Looks great on and is the perfect weight for a tropical wedding.

I told this very thing to boyfriend and he dutifully questioned wanting to know more. He understands my excitement. Except when I noted the colors of plain white and true green only in the dress he asked... "Green as in #00FF00?" (translation for non-geeks: that's the hexadecimal number representing green on computers).

I just about died of laughter while accusing him of being a geek. He agreed he's a geek and I promptly responded "I don't know!" and sent him a picture of a shirt that's the color green I'm referring to.

He's a good one - but he's also a geek. He's appreciative of what I like and am excited about, but that doesn't stop him from being him. It's the best of both worlds. I'm allowed to be a girlie girl, but at least I understand him!

It's good being a geek and a girl. And no, the color is not #00FF00. It's more of #009900 .
