The rules, they must be true and you can't try to diminish your nerdiness by following up with "cool" things about yourself. 1. Now that I'm single again, I have a system to ensure that all my dishes and silverware get equal usage. 2. I practice heel-and-toeing in everyday driving (that's more cool-nerdy than nerdy-nerdy though) 3. I think of a lot of everyday situations in terms of physics equations.Well of course. It would hurt the feelings of the dishes that don't get used as much. I always feel sad for the plate at the bottom of the stack. It hardley gets used, and it must feel like "it's not worthy" to be used for a meal. So sad. |

The rules, they must be true and you can't try to diminish your nerdiness by following up with "cool" things about yourself. I guess I should answer my own poll. 1. I crunch numbers in my head. A lot. Sometimes I do it when I should be paying attention to other things. I just think it's fun. 2. I love the X-FILES. Well the first few seasons anyway. Sometimes my mom and I have very drawn out conversations about the show, we can go on for hours. 3. I often use xterms/cygwin because it's 'just easier' for me to use sometimes.

Oh, there's lots more that I could list too. But she asked for 3.

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: TAN 47: El CapiTAN Oh yeah. I LOVED playing dungeon and dragons AND I would play 3d tic-tac-toe with my nerdy friend-who-I-wanted-to-be-my-nerdy-girlfriend, in my head. |

Champion 34263 Chicago | Subject: RE: TAN 47: El CapiTAN 1. I like Star Trek. The original, not any of those stupid spinoffs. TNG was OK, I guess. 2. As a child I'd write plays and then act them out on my own, using a tape recorder. 3. If I didn't stay out on Fridays so late (or fly back) I'd get up and watch Saturday morning cartoons and eat cereal while wearing pajamas with footies. |

My high school teacher used a lot of fancy person talk, so I learned a lot of great words. PLUS, my mom and dad are both PHD's, so kind of smart.... I feel kind of dumb with a silly old master's..... Ouch, dude. I have a Master's. Had thought about the PhD, but it would have been in something useless (Literature of some kind, since that's what I have my Master's in) so I figured it wasn't worth another 8 years probably without any funding... I wouldn't do a PhD if I wasn't getting funding. I don't think we could handle that. Hopefully, my master's + PhD is 7 years at the most. I kind of wish I could be done next year, but I don't know that it's going to happen. |

| Davenport, IA | Subject: RE: TAN 47: El CapiTAN Dangit I want some junk food. But I can't. My BF% went up from July 3 to now even with a lot of working out and racing. Can't get used to eating like that going into the winter. |

How the f*** did you end up with your wife again exactly??? You were like KING of the nerds! Did they build a shrine to your nerddom when you finally scored with a female? A human female, that is? |

Haha, when I was younger (like 9 or 10), I'd act out entire musicals in my living room, complete with costumes. All by myself, and not for anyone in particular. When I got older, my best friend and I would act out musical numbers and skits and record them with the camcorder. They were actually pretty funny, in some cases. |

I kind of wish I could be done next year, but I don't know that it's going to happen. Started in 2004. I got a Master's in Bioinformatics in 2006. Switched projects completely for my PhD. So, really 2 years of work on this project, but I don't have to take any new classes for my PhD. |
