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 like to cut things when I'm "up on blocks"I cut my own hair. And I'm not a hairdresser.
When that's done I do a bit of intimate topiary.
I never need to keep a record of my menstrual cycle. I know I am "due" when I feel the urge to reach for the scissors...
F'rinstance, I cut Davros' Granddad's hair this afternoon - therefore black puddings are imminent.
Sometimes I even snip my finger-ends with nail clippers.
There's nothing quite like spoiling yourself during your "time of the month".

I snip my fingers too...But how does all this make you a nerd? Every woman is like that (not necesarily with the chopping hair though) and it's not very geeky.

I don't get black puddings anymore...I kind of miss them.
*Kudos* for mentioning periods in what is intrinsically a male dominated website.

I think this fits under the 'What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?' bit of the questionFunny thing is, she makes a really good job of cutting my hair. Far better than most professionals who don't understand the concept of 'really hacking into it to make it really fuck off spiky'...
