    I had to explain to my 8 year old niece that my Andy Warhol inspired Albert Einstein teeshirt was not Willy Wonka.

    Reading from my desk at work. Trying not to giggle and draw attention to myself and the fact that there's actually nothing funny about data entry. That's extremely amusing.

    I have the same problem. I am a social worker and I would look totally morbid if I were to burst out laughing while typing a case. So when I spend time on meme sites I have to contain myself :tongue:

    Today I'm a nerd because I made an exercise playlist entirely out of OG Sonic the Hedgehog/Sonic the Hedgehog 2 music.

    Today I'm a nerd because while I listened to one of my college instructors lecture, I could have sworn I heard her say "Time War" amongst all of her jabber. In actuality, it was just "time word". My imagination was getting away with me.

    False alarm.

    Today I'm a nerd because I totally had a fangirl reaction to Kevin Smith favoriting one of my tweets.


    I hopped online to print an invoice, and saw the notification in my inbox... totally made my day! :bigsmile:




    Did I mention its my anniversary? :blushing: Ha!

    I finally realized today--months after it occurred--that the reason a co-worker I had never previously spoken to said to me "You like sci-fi, right?" was because I have a TIE-fighter on top of my filing cabinet at work. It's a repro of the original Kenner model, minus the annoying adhesive stickers on the panels.

    ...Aaaaand today I'm a geek because:
    *I am way too excited about NYCC this weekend, it has taken over my brain.
    *I am beyond bursting at the thought of showing off my costuming skills.
    *I'm still dorkily overjoyed that Kevin Smith favorited one of my tweets
    *I received a twitter reply from NYCC
    *True Blood just followed me and my inner fangirl cartwheeled from NY to Bon Temps

    I think its safe to say my Twitter account is having the BEST WEEK EVER!

    Reasons like that are why I want a Twitter account, but reasons like that are why I would never get off the internet :p Anyways, sounds fantastic!

    The internet is just so darn expansive... if there wasn't so much of it my time wouldn't be so consumed! :wink:

    Haha, agreed. *grumble grumble* I remember back in my day we had 8 GeoCities pages and 2 Angelfire pages and we waited 10 hours for them to load. And the dial up was the music of our people :grumble:

    I'm programming and checking over equations while wearing a t-shirt that has a pictorial representation of "eye love apple pi" from the museum of science + industry chicago. :blushing: and I'll be watching the big bang theory later to relax.
