    I quilt, I sew, I used to can fruits (whoops that is country)...

    My daughter got straight As on her report card (including her high school Geometry class, 3 "5s" and 1 "4" on her FCAT and memorizes pi for fun- she is out to the 35th digit past decimal.- She is a nerd extrodinare and she is going to be a freshman next year (only 13yo)- She and her brother argued over homozygous and heterozygous over dinner the other night...:noway:

    $>cd /pub
    $>more beer

    hahaha. I'm still waiting for my husband to buy me a shirt of this comic:
    sandwich.png

    Although I am sorely tempted by another one from that site that says:
    /Everybody stand back/
    I know regular expressions.
    -I owned a cat named Schroedinger, and a dog named Pavlov

    We had a cat named Schrodinger, too! (I can't take credit, though - the fact that both my parents got their PhDs in physics and my brother liked Robert Anton Wilson probably had something to do with it!)
    -I can have entire conversations in acronyms and abbreviations when in the company of other geeks/network peoples.

    Check!

    Monty Python, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Bruce Campbell (especially Evil Dead II), video games, computers - check.

    I'm a grammar/spelling nerd - I always notice when people use "it's" when they mean "its" or "your" when they mean "you're". It drives me nuts when I see signs or ads with bad grammar or spelling.

    I ALWAYS read the contracts and user agreements and privacy policies and software licenses. Same with all that information I get every year from my employers about my benefits (and I read all my husband's stuff, too, to figure out which gets us the better deal).

    I do our taxes and always figure it out both married filing jointly and separately, and also with both standard deduction and itemized.

    Oh, I'm a nerd. :bigsmile:

    I go away for a day and miss this??
    I too am a huge Monty Python fan, often quoting it to people that give me crazy looks. (they just don't know what they are missing). I watch Discovery Channel and Animal Planet all of the time. I read non fiction books. The few times I venture into fiction it is for fantasy (ie: Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings). I will sing and dance loudly when an Old School song comes on anywhere. I still say "peace in the middle east". I have been published in a book of poetry. I was editor of the literary magazine in highschool. I date guys that are nerdier than me. I talk to animals as if they were people. This could go on and on...

I enjoy jazz and forties music. I love and write poetry. I love indie films and documentaries. HMMMMM the more I think about it I may be an artist....

    Nerd here:

    I read harry potter too, and I don't think it makes you a nerd, just a good book :P

    I play a lot of games and mmorpg's I've tried trials for swg, planet side, and ever quest.

    I have p2p for WoW but I quit a few months back and started playing vanguard which is awesome just had a very bad start but is getting a lot more players since Aoc came out and I currently have a 27 psi right now, its a good game.

    I also like movies, especially the new marvel movies I loved Iron man, The Incredible Hulk was pretty good too cannot wait for Thor and Iron man 2 though. :smile:

    OMG we made these too!!!! Just like this!!! LOL I did cupcakes one year with "off white" frosting. I squeezed it out of a tiny hole in a zip lock and it looked all stringy like spaghetti. Just add spiky candy balls and it's grossly too much like spaghetti! Most of the kids were so grossed out they wouldn't even touch it. I loved it.

    I also make a mean mummy pizza!

    um, my greatest nerd attribute?

    well, I've read Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History in Time"

    AND

    (wait for it)

    Not only did I understand it, I enjoyed it.

    I just love string theory and quantum physics!
