    Ex-LotRO addict here. Debating starting to play again now that the new expansion came out.

    I'm told I'm missing "geek cred" though because I've never seen Star Wars, but meh. Currently reading Song of Ice and Fire. Love LotR, Sword of Truth... I actually started reading Wheel of Time, but for some reason had to put it down and didn't pick it back up. Hm. I should go back to it.

    I've always longed to be a super-intelligent shade of blue, and I never go anywhere without my towel.

    Now, if you'll excuse me, I have the improbable outcome to take care of an S.E.P.

    I don't go anywhere without my towel either! ;)

    I didn't want to post in here. But a group of the bigger guys shoved me into the thread.

    Can someone get a teacher?

    Not sure what makes a person a nerd.

    I don't play video games. Except the occasional Atari Pong.
    My daughter has to load my iPod.
    I don't text, sext, twitter, tweet or blog. MFP is the only non-work related website I go into.
    Yesterday, I had to ask some people I was playing soccer with what "House Music" was. Later looked it up on YouTube. Really? That's what the cool kids listen too?

    So. You tell me. Am I a Nerd?

    I always thought that a nerd was someone who was smart, liked to read, did well in school and was socially a little awkward... maybe dressed a little funny. That's me. LOL

    I'd try to help you, but they'd probably get me, too! :sad:

    Been a NERD for a long time. I'm also a recovering WOW-Addict. I'm using Zelda Twilight Princess like Methadone to keep the WOW cravings under control.

    I caught the Holly thing right away, currently working my way through the entire Red Dwarf library on the netflix. Firefly was the best though.

    augie

    Firefly was Amazing ......(SOB) we dont talk about the movie in my house though. It makes my sister and I cry.

    I have to admit my biggest nerdiness is books though. Ill read anything sci-fi fantesy that I can get my hands on. I own my R.A. Salvatore and forgotten realms than most people know exsist.:bigsmile:

    Love the Firefly series, still watch it on my hangover days with a bottle of chocolate milk - it makes me feel better!

    Total nerd checking in - I play D & D 4th edition, but I'm not a computer gamer nerd, I'm more of a social nerd - boardgames, RPG.

    re-reading the old Dragonlance series waiting for the next installment of the Drizzt series to release in paperback - yep - total nerd checking in.
