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 met my boyfriend on the interwebThat's not particularly nerdy, is it?
The slightly more geeky thing is that it wasn't because I found his picture on the online dating site maddeningly hot--in fact, I filed it under "within my league". What clinched it was that he had put down "Tolkien" as his favourite author.
Four years later, my love for him was reaffirmed when he admitted that his favourite bit of Lord of the Rings was the appendix.
