A Nerd, of the Geek Variety

I am officially a nerd...I am talking about the geek variety.

Here are my top five reasons that have brought me to the conclusion that I am, in fact, a nerd of the geek variety.

5. I order my vacations along the lines of places I can go that would benefit my current field of study. Not because I have to in order to get a grade, but because I actually like it.

4. People's faces cinch up in in response to my telling of what I study so that they look like they are sucking on a sour lemon. Hmmm...maybe if I couch it in more dapper language. Maybe if I say it like James Bond introduces himself. He is, in fact, the utter height of coolness.
"My field of study is history, church history." Nope, didn't work. You still had a lemon face didn't you?

3.14159...Yes, I know the first 6 digits of pi. I also wished people a happy "pi day" on March 14th. Now it would have gone overbard if I would have done that at exactly 1:59 in the morning or afternoon. That, I feel would have taken it too far, except I think I might have already gone too far with the inclusion of pi as part of my top 5 reasons. Actually if I included this, shouldn't I include all numbers? DANG IT!

3. I find myself laughing out loud at intellectual jokes when I am alone. Then when I am around people I, of course, do not have the presence of mind to think that they could care less. This results in a lot of headshaking and I am sure a lack of referrals for blind dates.

2. I actually sit and watch my brother play video games and create 3D graphics. I have no idea how to do such things myself, nor do I think I ever will, but I find it fascinating to sit in silence for hours on end and watch my brother manipulate little pixels.

1. Napoleon Dynamite is my cousin (somewhere along the line I am sure) and my brother is on the Geek Squad. If that isn't indicative of an ancestoral legacy of nerdness manifested in geekish tendencies I don't know what is.



The family resemblence is amazing. We have a legacy in our family of forming "geekish squads"

.5 The wording I used for number 1. is geekness personified. And also, the fact that I felt the need to put in a .5 shouts "GEEK!"
