    i/8


    Any math nerd will get this joke. lol. I once saw a t-shirt with i/8 on it and thought it was awesome!

    :-D

    Oh, I know I'm a nerd because I'm a full time student who also works 33 hours a week, and would rather spend time doing homework than socialize.

    I want that T-shirt!!

    I know I'm a geek (not nerd) because I love solving equations. Maths and chemistry are my friends. And I would much prefer to be home on a saturday night watching disney movies than out at a club

    I am taking on Philosophy courses at MIT...because I want to and they're fun.
    I can give you a tour of world history, by centuries, then broken into decades, with highlights on important years...starting at around 500 AD.
    All my sims are bookworms and science geniuses. (Except for that one guy that cleans the toilets.)
    I think e-readers are a sad invention because you can't smell the pages. Old books smell so good.
    I can date fabric samples.
    I can't wait for quiet evenings with coffee and computer games.
    I have a tattoo in Runic and another in Latin.
    I speak Latin.
    And Polish.
    I heart medieval festivals.

    Naprawde? Mowisz po Polsku? No fajne!!!

    And I'm in a Crafts for Geeks group on FB.....and I quilt.

    I"m not trying to be a troll but after watching about 5 episodes of Big Bang Theory, I feel like it's a stupid show about smart people. As opposed to Arrested Development and Community, which are smart shows about stupid people.

    I know lots of people will disagree with me on the first point because the show is so popular.

    I'm more a geek.

    Videogame junkie
    Speaks Klingon 'Sadly not fluently'
    Thinks Big Bang Theory is the geek version of Blackface, yet watches it anyhow.
    I've actually had to say 'Yes, that kolmohdee.' at a comic con. (Not THE comic-con, haven't been yet.)

    I'm more of a geek...

    I'm an IT Manager so I'm sure that speaks volumes.
    I'm marrying a Systems Engineer/Programmer/Forensic Computer Examiner.
    I have a Warcraft tattoo.
    My cats names are Kilo, Echo, Tango and Zulu.
    In high school I passed notes in binary.
    I started coding when I was 11 because I wanted my own Sailor Moon website.

    I know more about Napoleon Bonaparte (and his horse, Marengo) than any sane person ever should.

    BBT is amazing! The writers are geniuses!

    I know I'm a nerd because I am a grammar nazi. I can't stand the people who txt lyk ths! It makes me want to cry.. "People cry because they're sad. For example, I cry because other are stupid and that makes me sad."

    Last week, I corrected my teacher's improper use of a semi colon on my mid-term. 0:-)

    oh i love this i love it when i find spelling mistakes in school publications and newspapers.....i hope you got an extra grade for picking up the mistake though...

    and as with everyone else i love sheldon

    My favorite book is snow crash, my achievement score is over 15,000 and level 12 with 5 platinums. I'm pissed Bioshock Infinite and Diablo III are taking so long but I'm excited for ME3 on Tuesday. I got married online to my husband who was the web programmer for skirmish league. My favorite t-shirt is FPS bulls-eye. I was the only female competitor in the MW3 pre-release. My husband would fit with BBT in a heartbeat. I knit, crochet, and quilt. I wear glasses and my 5 year old knows both Dr. Who and what a fulcrum is. I met my husband at summer camp and wrote letters back and forth for four years before we were able to date in person.

    lol at this moment my hubby is freaking out because a 12 year old just screwed him in dungeon defenders and I laughed because I just leveled up my apprentice. :) Oh and I went to band camp.

    My big issue with BBT is they don't write female geeks right at all. They had that one comic book artist character, and it was a total waste. Don't get me wrong I like the female characters, but honestly the only one who's ever been even slightly really geeky is Penny.

    To be honest, the BBT is the first sitcom i actually enjoy watching in years.
    I can relate to it... but like someone said, its not a "smart" comedy..... meaning to me, i dont have to keep watching every previous episode to know WTF is going on.... i can just see one, and laugh.

    Harry Potter too.

    Don't get me wrong, I understand enjoying those things, but they're not part of geekdom.

    I know I'm a nerd, because.......

    My husband and I fell in love with eachother while playing World of Warcraft.

    I just spent my morning playing Borderlands with my husband.

    I have a tattoo of my daughters initials in Daedric writing (from the Elder Scrolls games) and am going to get my son's initials tattooed after I hit 30lbs lost.

    My entire living room is littered with video game and movie posters.

    Oh the list goes on and on and on.......
