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’ve got quite a few nerdy habits.I own not one, but two, identical, graphic calculators (TI-84Plus) and I’m intent on buying another (TI-Nspire, oh yes oh yes). As well as this, I take at least one calculator everywhere I go. Just in case.
When my laptop died on Christmas day, I chose not to wait for the school IT department to open in a week, but rather borrowed my boyfriend’s similar computer and swapped the hard drives, so I wouldn’t have to go without internet for too long.
I wear a vest to school.
I’m in the debating team.
I run both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) on my school computer.
Not only do I still have Pokemon, my friends and I spend a large portion of our lunchtimes trading and battling.
