    Because... I learned to program in BASIC on a TI-99/4a. Anyone else have one of these?

    Learned my BASIC (Beginner's All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) on a Commodore 64.

    And no, I didn't have to look up the meaning of the word BASIC....

    I learned BASIC and LOGO on an Apple IIe and still have my TRaSh-80 with the cassette player.
    T o me floppy discs will always be Verbatim 5 1/4" double density.

    I circle typos in books and, when someone was recently asked to describe me, they used the word "bibliophage"

    In high school my friends and I would smell our books before we would read them. We were convinced we could tell how good a book was going to be by the way it smelled.

    Yea, I learned BASIC on my TRS-80 as well... I also modded an 8 track player to work in it instead of a cassette player... later I got a floppy drive and an expansion box that let me have 4 or 5 slots instead of just the one in the side... plus more memory.

    I also learned Apple BASIC around then since the school had Apples and I got to play on them a bit.

    1) My friends hate watching movies with me b/c I can rip any of the hollywood movie "science" to shreds.

    2) I play with bacteria on the weekends.

    I've decided that Tuesdays are laundry day for this very reason. Not to mention that my husband crafted some glyphs last nights put them up to auction, then he remembered that no one can get on this morning. We'll see if any of his stuff sells. Yep, Tuesday mornings are a drag.

    I forgot the biggest nerdy quality of me:

    I've been apart of an anime forum since 2004. In 2007, I was made moderator. In 2009, I was bumped up to head moderator. Later that year, I was made Community administrator. 2010, I was given another admin title: deputy administrator. I manage a group of ~80 people (assistants; regular members who help the moderators). I have to do bi-monthly reports for them. Then I run an additional group of about 15 moderators and head moderators. I do bi-yearly reports for them. All while making the graphics, running the radio section, managing the shop, dealing with ALL forum complaints (only community admin gets those), fill in for whenever another admin is away (2 always are), manage the "currency" on the forum anddddddddd deal with other requests. Oh.... And run events. It's one of the top 5 anime forums in the world, mainly run in England. Has 4 conventions every year - along with multiple meets around the England area.

    I don't get paid. But it's hella fun. I have NOTEBOOKS dedicated to my reports, plus all other information I keep track of. The bi-yearly reports take me 8 hours. The bi-monthly ones take 1 week.

    Tuesday is my normal day off...I've considered having it changed due to maintenance...But, it is the only day I get anything done around the house!
