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.

MusicI like that I'm a geek and a fit fangirl. I like that I turn heads, and not because I have the girth of a small planet. I've had my share of scream fights about Star Wars, I squee like an idiot if I find mouth charts and model sheets for my favorite animated series, and I make the annual trek to San Diego for Comic Con. I have outside interests and ambitions, my life doesn't revolve around the drama of the internet, but I'd be a liar if I didn't admit I have moments that make 'Father Ted's Tom look like a member of Mensa.
After two days of downloading the music, I have decided I am no longer allowed to listen to the score of 'Transformers' when I'm driving. Otherwise, I will blast the Decepticons' theme, imagine I am a car version of Starscream* on my way to fight Bumblebee, and drive faster than the paparazzi chasing after Lady Di. All with a big fuck-off evil grin on my face.
I have that much of a musical!boner for Hans Zimmer and in this case, Steve Jablonsky.
And imagining I'm a giant robot from space.
So, if you see a chesty, long-haired brunette booking it down the 405, giggling evilly to herself, don't worry. I need to take down that banana colored bug before I worry about you, fleshling.
Apologies for length. Michael Bay doesn't believe in mass shifting.
*Yes, I know he doesn't turn into that, but my car is grey and it's that or I have to pretend I'm driving Jazz, which is lamerz.
