    It's 1.30 in the morning and I've been DMing for 8 hours solid.

    Today I'm a nerd because I have read 57 books on a list that BBC thinks the majority has only read 6 from.

    Oooh, what's that list?

    It's on List Challenges entitled "BBC Believes You Only Read 6 of These Books...". It is an interesting list, and it has book series as well as stand alone novels.

    Today I'm a nerd because of what happened last week on Pi day. First of all I had pi day marked on my calendar. Secondly my parakeet couple, Nate and Sophie*, had a hatchling that I've hence named Sugar Pie because of it being hatched on pi day. That and I now can sing Sugar Pie Honey Bunch whenever I hand-feed him/her. Yep, it's official I am a nerd. B-)

    Great list! ...I've already read 6 of them to my son, who's 5, so I think it's a little silly of BBC to think that...but I'm afraid that maybe the world really is that illiterate?

    I'm also sad I've only read 46, but now I have something to aspire to.

    ...and so happy Secret History is on there. I'm excited to read her latest book, even if the second one was like pulling teeth, without the joy of having the tooth fairy visit. And Watership Down. Love that book. Skipped the part about the scary warren when I read it to the kid.

    9. I've read 9 to him, I had to count. So I guess that really makes me a nerd today. And I've been very excited to introduce him to others to him in the coming years.

    I'm a nerd because you talked about the book list and I had to see how many I read, only 18, but 5 are on my to read list. the rest just don't interest me that much.

    Oh and yesterday I saw that there was a Firefly marathon on the Science Channel, guess what I did all day instead of cleaning (and yes I said many of the lines with them)

    Today I am a nerd because I sang the first 50 digits of pi – yes I knew them by heart – to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic to celebrate becoming a lifetime member of Kappa Mu Epsilon.

    Yes, now it is official I am a Math Nerd :glasses:

    Last night I had a dream that I was LARPing and instead of going back to sleep for a well deserved lie in, I've spent my time perusing the internet for the next addition to my costume...

    Today I'm a nerd because I just had to turn off my music collection at work playing on shuffle because I can't listen to some tracks from the Return of the King soundtrack without getting emotional.

    lolllll :)

    That and the hour I spent playing Ocarina of Time last night with my fam. I totally STILL get really excited at the cutscenes.

    My husband and I quote this back and forth to the kids often...mostly about betrayals of certain dinosaurs.

    That is awesome. I wish I had a reason to sing any digits of pi.

    I love reading these every day.

    I spent my entire work shift contemplating the ongoing season of Hannibal (and maybe or maybe not reading comment threads on articles about the episodes), and then went home to set up some prose roleplays.

    Hannibal, unfff. That show is freaking delicious. (I used to have a Hannibal pic on my ticker, ha!)

    Spent the day drawing patterns and shopping for material to make my new fencing outfit. This one's going to be 14th century style, a cotehardie with dagged tippet sleeves and a hood with matching dags and a liripipe. Particoloured red and green.

    I went to Clearwater library comic con. There I saw an older curvy version of Mystique. My first thought was that she was a Nac Mac Feegle. Second, I wore my Honor Harrington battle list shirt. Third, I wore my "Dragonmen must fly when thread is in the sky" button. Can we say Esoteric? :-)
