Best Christmas Present Ever

My 2011 resolution is to write more here. I have lots to say (I mean, I haven't even posted an HP7 part 1 review, that's pretty much a huge nerd-fail). But for now, I have to share the following:

Once upon a time I read a book called Let it Snow, which is a collection of three stories. One by Maureen Johnson, one by Lauren Myracle, and one by John Green. Upon finishing this book I declared to my roommate that my ideal guy was who a John Green character grew up to be. In addition to this short story, see also Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns, and Will Grayson Will Grayson... and watch any and all vlogbrothers videos. She immediately began singing Cool Rider from Grease 2, but working in the lyrics "looking for a man created by John Green" instead of "looking for a man on a mean machine." She pledged to re-work the entire song, and without my knowledge has been working away at this for months. Tonight we exchanged Christmas presents and I opened the lyrics. It is quite literally the most amazing Christmas present ever. And I am sharing them with you:

Cool Rider Revisted

If you really want to know
What I want in a guy
Well, I'm looking for a man created by John Green
Who's grown up and wise
I want a big nerdfighter
who watches Syfy
And one fine night I'll be looking right...

Chorus
(at) a John Green character, a John Green charcter
When he's old enough he can
burn me through and through
Whhoa ahhh
If it takes forever
Then Ill wait forever
No ordinary boy
No ordinary boy is gonna do
I want a dork who's out of school

That's the way it's gonna be
And tht's the way that I feel
I don't need ore than the boy next door
I want Quentin Jacobsen
So outta my way Margo Speigelman
Just let him grow up fine and stay king
Then move aside cause I'm gonna string up to a

Repeat Chorus

I don't want no fraternity guys
Comin' on strong to me
They don't know what I'm lookin for
They don't know what I need
They're gonna know when he gets here
Cause the library will be shakin'
I'll do anything to let him know
That I'm his, his for the takin'

I want a neerrrrd fighter
A nerd nerd nerd fighter
I want a nerrrd fighter
A nerd nerd nerd fighter
I want a N-E-R-D F-I-G-H-T-E-R
I want a N-E-R-D F-I-G-H-T-E-R
(Repeat)
