    I like how watching big bang theory makes people a nerd...

    watching doesn't make you a nerd, understanding almost every reference certainly might

    At 15 I was jaded enough to know that Firefly's cancellation was inevitable.

    It would make my day if someone called me a luddite, because then I would be able to use the line "Did he just call me a luddite?"

    I've never had the reference in my screenname correctly identified.

    I don't consider Harry Potter true nerddom.

    I studied Radiation Physics and Dosimetry..that's pretty nerdy, someone else put that they knit, I do that too, my friend still tells stories about how I brought my knitting to a tattoo parlor and started knitting infront of all the tatted up customers lol.

    I just spent an hour and a half playing on accounting software and researching accounting and tax questions. And enjoyed it!

    What's yours?

    That is SO messed up...lol. I've been working on tax prep all weekend, and cannot imagine how in the bloody hell anyone would *ever* want to push numbers for a living. I'd rather have teeth pulled....quite seriously. I've always wondered if CPA's actually enjoy what they do....you're living proof that people like you actually exist. God bless ya....:wink:

    I know I'm a video game nerd because, you name it, I've played it. (Or at least heard of it.)

    This.

    I object to the term "nerd." I am a geek. :)

    Exhibit A: I've got a shirt that says "Schrodinger's Cat is Dead" on one side, and "Schrodinger's Cat is Not Dead" on the other. It's one of my favorites.

    I HAVE to get that t-shirt! Hilarious!

    I spent my afternoon cleaning up our file server, figuring out a way to re-purpose an old laptop, and watched Mall Cops. :-P

    ...the best name I could come up with for myself is DataBased - because, like other posters have stated, I get all excited over creating some complicated spreadsheet and throw parties because I've completed one phase of data cleanup in the database.

    I'm studying Cognitive Neuroscience (and just applied for my first research grant to record resting cortical activity in individuals with Down Syndrome to compare them to the resting cortical activity of those with Alzheimer's Disease - one of the diseases I want to study in my career).

    I taught myself all of Brodmann's Areas over the summer for fun.
