Confession: I'm a nerd.

[GreyhoundsRUs]

Obviously our SOs are all a bit dorky. I mean, you don't go to school/training for at least 7 years past your Bachelors for fun. I've been around here long enough to know that we're all nerdy, too. What do you "geek out" about?

Me: LOTR. If I had more free time (no kids or job), I would allow myself to become a Tolkien expert. We went to see the Hobbit tonight, and once again, the story, characters, emotion just blow my mind. I spent the whole movie tapping DH and sharing some LOTR reference (Look! There's Gimli's dad! Are they on Weathertop?).

I have a Master's degree in Literature, specifically Old and Middle English.

I also have a compost bin, where I raise black soldier fly larvae, which I feed to my pet chicken.

As seen in previous threads... Musicals. Put on a soundtrack and from the music I will tell you what musical it it from (while singing along to it).

I get excited for all Star Trek and X-men Movies. Currently when I have nothing to watch on TV, I go back on to Netflicks and watch episodes of DS9. Once I get through that whole show I will probably move on to Voyager.

I'm a math nerd and I love sci-fi. All I need is glasses and a pocket protector and I'm set (Actually I do wear glasses occasionally but they're super cute kate spade ones so I don't put those in the nerdy category). I also seriously love old Brit Coms (Are You Being Served, Vicar of Dibley, Keeping up Appearances, Red Dwarf).

Do your public libraries have the "I geek..." Campaign? "I geek penguins", for instance, meens "I love reading everything published about penguins." I geek organizing, geneology, Judiasm, Alison Weir...

I love reading about Tudor England. It makes me happy. DH and I also love watching Stargate and any superhero movie together.

Obsessed with world geography and international news. I loved the show WorldFocus and cried when it went off the air. I love flags and can identify all the flags of the world.

I LOVE PBS and would be perfectly happy of that's the only channel I got. My favorite show is still Sesame Street. I volunteer at PBS religiously. I was even runner up for volunteer of the year at my old PBS station! PBS has a really awesome station called World. I could sit and watch it for hours on end.

I'm a sucker for any documentary about the Middle East.

Most scifi/fanasy shows, especially Stargate...bit of a bookworm...movies/shows set in the 1700s/1800s...Disney nerd too...Sabrina the Teenage Witch (actually lots of witchcraft books/movies)...

I have a BS in computer science and a PhD in a related field, so I'm pretty sure that solidifies my nerd status. Sometimes I write computer programs for fun, just to see if I can solve a certain problem, instead of having one of my programmers do it. The Big Bang Theory is dangerously close to my life - my colleagues think I'm just like Bernadette, except my voice isn't quite that obnoxious, and my husband is way cooler than Howard.

I'm also a big knitting geek - I get excited over really nice yarns, or trying out complicated new patterns.

I'm pretty sure I've become boring. I used to be geeky about some things but now I'm just too exhausted. Maybe once the kids are raised, I'll have time to get interesting again!
