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.

^ ^that is what I was thinking. If you don't use so much weed, you might actually remember things and not have to write them down.
That being said, I am a list maker. I especially love to mark things off the list and get such a feeling of accomplishment. So, a list that would normally have 3 tasks on it, in my hands will break down each of those 3 tasks into 10 smaller tasks that are all part of completing the 3 tasks.
Thus, the simple task of cleaning the living room becomes:
*pick up any dishes
*take dishes to kitchen
*pick up toys
*take toys to kids' room
*empty trash
*put new trash bag in can
*straighten sofa cushions
*dust bookshelves
*dust TV
*vaccume living room
*straighten video tapes
*straighten DVDs
