It's Official #Nerd Alert

[meegannie]

This is the thread where I confess nerdy things I do/want to do and everyone can laugh at me.

I want to do this: http://www.nottinghamtec.co.uk/join_tec/

Think of all the power I could weild!!!!

Is that how you spell weild?

Sadly, though, it looks like it's all boys, which scares me, and it's probably a nerd alert convention.

 

[Sicy]

[meegannie]

Come join with me. I'm scared to go alone, and you'll get to visit England.

[DiGi]

this thread will be perfect for me. What nerd tendencies should I spill?

I do not see anything nerdy about this Megan. You should do this, probably a good way to meet some people at your school who like music.

OK I am off to read about cells.

It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more public here, but I think it's really just a European thing because I always notice it in the international terminal at airports. People just don't seem to care that everyone sees them picking their noses.

Sam and I were were sitting on a couch once and I looked over and he was picking his nose and I gave him a look and he said, "What? I'm English!" It was hilarious!

 

[meegannie]

I like reading fantasy books.

A book on MySQL
A book on CSS
Walden and other writings by Thoreau

i was raised to be a dork. the only tv i watched before age 7 was PBS. and even then i was only allowed to watch ninja turtles because that was enough tv for the day or week or whatever.

in 5th grade we put up 'dinosaur tracks' around the classroom, everytime you read for an hour,you'd write your name and the book you were reading on one of them, have your parents sign it to prove you actually read, and then the teacher would hang them up. i had the most in the class.

we finally got cable tv when i was twelve (it took them something like 6 years to install the wiring in the neighbourhood and my mom wouldn't let my dad get a sattelite dish) and the first thing i watched was a 6 hour history channel program on WWII aircraft.


honestly, i do dorky things on such a fucking regular basis that i can't really keep track. those are the childhood big ones though.

and if you saw a picture of me from then........yikes.......

This book is on my amazon.co.uk wishlist:

along with a Pingu DVD, a Manic Street Preachers book, some history books, and a penguin game that's for five year olds.

That's so like me. I used to watch Masterpiece Theater, the Twilight Zone, and Alfred Hitchcock Presents when I was little.

In fourth grade, I did my book report on Moby Dick.

When I was 8, in 1988, I asked for a biography of George Bush for my birthday so I could "read up on the candidates."

 

[BAW]

One of my greatest ambitions is to follow the trail of Lewis & Clark and the Corps of Discovery

Just by coincidence, I live around the block from the corner of Lewis & Clark

after i got out of the hospital, I went to my parents house for a few days (well a week and a half) for IV's and rest. One of their neighbors is a Dr. at walter reed, I asked to barrow his internal medicine reference book. It was possibly the coolest book I have ever read. I can't wait to have my own.

that book looks rather interesting

That is classic!!

When I was a kid I obsessively drew historical maps. For some reason I particularly liked drawing maps of the Byzantine Empire. I'll bet those things are still lying around somewhere.
*wants old maps*

cool

i did a book report on 1984 when i was in 8th grade, not really dorky, but when you consider that we were allowed to read ANYTHING as long as it didn't have pictures (and no exaggeration, some girl read a book about hanson ), the teacher was impressed. my school was really lame...i'd read most of the books we had to read in middle school for fun 2 years before.

that reminds me...when i was 8 or 9 i memorized the capitals of each state in the u.s. plus each province in canada and i used to quiz my grandma when she'd come over to babysit
