How nerdy are you?This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

I don't wanna think about it!Ummm... I'm writing this while wearing my Doctor Who T-Shirt, after just having had a Doctor Who marathon. When I get bored I play with my Doctor Who figurines.
I also have all my books arranged alphabetically by author, then by the date the book was published. I do the same with my films, and my CDs. Everything in my computer is put away carefully in very specific folders.
I hang my photographs using a ruler to make sure the picture is equidistant from each wall edge.
Maybe I'm not geeky, just obsessive compulsive.
But I can be cool (shockingly). I know the offside rule, can put on make-up with the best of them and only own 3 computer games (The Sims, HP and the Philosophers Stone, HP and the Chamber of Secrets). I have completed none of them.
