    I read and write poetry...for fun!

    :laugh:

    Also, I still collect Pokemon cards, and I've been known to play a game or two of DnD.

    Really, there are so many reasons that I am a nerd that I have to ask the question: how am I NOT a nerd? And that question is impossible to answer :).

    I own 4 lightsabers.... They're mounted to the wall.

    I see this and raise you:

    I own four Sonic Screwdrivers. They're mounted in a shadowbox with a plaque: In Case of Dalek Invasion, Break Glass.

    I know I'm a nerd because Sociological and Anthropological theories excite me :)

    This...but I lean towards Anthropological theory.

    because when people say they are going on a blind date or to a single's club i always ask if they are "looking for love in Alderon places" in reference to Star Wars.

    because I know pretty much every decent movie from 1950 back.

    because I have a vast knowledge in all old Hollywood scandal, murder, mystery, etc.

    World of Warcraft, World of Warcraft, World of Warcraft. And I don't mean like, I casually play it... I numbercrunch and research to maximize potential in endgame :l

    Also, The Old Republic.

    Also also, I'm obsessed with genetics. I think learning foreign languages is exhilarating and when not in a casual forum setting, I'm a grammar fiend.

    I know I'm a nerd because:

    I have a dog named Ringo. I also have a son named Jude. My husband's name is John. I have been to the The Fest for Beatles Fans in Chicago, L.A. and Las Vegas. I went to Vegas first to see Beatles LOVE and then decided to get married there...and also stayed in the Mirage because of all of the Beatles slot machines/and the Beatles LOVE store.

    I have seen Paul McCartney in concert 3 times. I've also seen Ringo Starr in concert 3 times. If I need something to watch, I watch The Beatles Anthology and Concert for George.

    I have a George Harrison related tattoo.

    I played the flute in the High School marching band.
    I love to read and one of my favorites is sci-fi.

    On the flip side, I was also a partier in HS, a girl who hung out with the surfers and sometimes the jocks,

    I'm a nerd on the inside, but I'm something completely different on the outside. :-)

    I am a HUGE ASOIAF fan......and not just because there is a TV show!! Because I can debate about any theory with you..........and often spend my Friday nights discussing/arguing them with my husband and brother-in-law.


    ASOIAF = A Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin (Game of Thrones is the first book).

    I am a grammer nerd...
    I hate text talk and feel the need to correct it whenever I get an email where it's used.
    I have a dyslexic hubby but still read out his notes phonetically.
    I have an overwhelming urge to correct poor grammer and spelling.
    I made sure that my children knew the difference between their and there, your and you're, whether and weather & to, too and two!

    I am also Mrs Nerd...
    Hubby took me to see Star Trek films on our dates.
    I probably know more about Star Trek than my hubby does, and I don't even watch it!
    I have a LOTR sword replica in my home...ON DISPLAY!
    Hubby and son went to ComiCon Cardiff last weekend and I got the see the photos! That must make me Mammy Nerd too then!
