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.

Aha! Packing systems!I'm so pleased to read that I'm not the only person with a packing system! It has to be packed correctly and the 'help' is anything but. Even PJM knows to leave the packing to me now.
I also have systems for all the cupboards in the kitchen and I always get a little thrill when all my tins face the correct direction. The next person who mutters 'Sleeping with the Enemy' will get a tin of beans lobbed at their head. And I like to keep all my herbs and spices in a drawer. In alphabetical order.
I also have a system for hanging out the washing. In fact I have systems for most things - life is easier that way, I no longer have to think about how to do things, I just follow the system.
