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.

not so much a nerd...... as a geek. i think its the right term?
Since starting uni i have found i love tasks like harvard referencing and research. And just generally writing reports.
Its got to the point now where i am editing/writing several peoples work in the days leading up to deadlines.
I also have the entire red dwarf box set and can quote hundreds of lines from heart.
Oh, and i love filing and organising and arranging anything :)

that's not so badI spent 9 years going to college/university because I liked going to lectures and taking tests.
And I took so many classes outside of my major that I am just a few classes short of degrees in 4 different majors.
