I am a Nerd: Part 2

It all started with a pool and a slide.
As Erik and I were swimming with Erica and Albert (my sis) and Jesse and Michelle we had the brilliant idea to go down the slide as one giant train. Take one went brilliantly, but I'm afraid take two didn't go as well. I was pushed down into the water farther than what I was comfortable with, and after we pulled Erik's foot out of the back of my head it was decided I had some serious whiplash. So naturally we put a bag of frozen corn to help the pain and went to the local drugstore---aka my mom.
Two days later (Monday) I was still in pain and could hardly move my neck, so I took another pain killer which made me seriously loopy. While Erik took his daily nap he advised that I should not go anywhere because I would not be safe driving in my drunken state. So I decided to watch a movie, and it was all over from there.
It was a quick decision given that our movie collection consists of about 5 movies. I decided to watch The Lord of the Rings because:
A) Its a good movie
B) Orlando Bloom and Viggo Mortensen are hot
C) I'm a nerd (see previous examples here and here)
Instead of the normal versions, for some odd reason (due to my husband) we only have the extended version of all 3 movies which turns out to be 4 hours a movie. So what started out as something to get over my loopiness, turned into me staying up late every night to finish watching them. It turned into me not doing my daily chores because I had to keep watching.
In conclusion to this story with no point:
I love The Lord of the Rings.
And I am a Nerd.
