In talking with Ali, it seems many among us are closet (Or maybe not so much), nerds!! So I say, dig out your pocket protectors, unravel the tape for your glasses and hike up your suspenders......

As in our inner dorkiness the other day, what makes you a nerd??

I love documentaries and tv shows about history. History Detectives is my show man!!! The coolest thing!! Alas, I fell asleep half-way through it last night!! SIGH!(all that fresh air earlier in the day did me in!) But, good thing is I am nerd enough to know it repeats today at 6 so I can find out if that Short Snorter was real!!

I could sit in a bookstore with a big pile of books on history and a latte and be there for HOURS! (One of my fav things to do at Barnes and Noble before I got married and had a child!!! :laugh: )

Oh, and apparantly, I actually use the word "alas" :laugh: :laugh:

    Every time I get a new phone (of course it has PDA functionality) I hack into it and do coding modifications to add more memory, speed up the processor, adjust the volume settings, add games, etc.

    BEAT THAT :noway:

    I can:

    recite dialog from the first (or technically middle) three Star Wars films from memory, as well as nearly ALL of every Monty Python sketch ever filmed, and every episode of Black Adder ever made. I also used to run (run!) home from the bus stop as a young girl to make sure I could watch re-runs of Star Trek.

    I study for a living.

    um. . .I wear glasses. . .

    and oh, yeah. . .I'm talking to people on the internets. . .:tongue:

    Hubby and I have over 1000 DVD's, all in alphabetical order and numbered. We have a spreadsheet on our pc's with our entire movie list also with the numbers. When we wanna watch something instead of searching thru 1000+ movies we can just pull up our file. Our video games are also done this way :embarassed:

    I have never seen star wars or monty python , guess that alone makes me a nerd around here lol
