21 April 2006

Noes! I just wrote my name on a ninety-nine cent Staedtler highlighter because I like it so much I don't want anyone to steal it. Has anyone else done something nerdy lately?
I went to a yoga class. And I'm a dude.

Pick any moment of any day, and I have done something nerdy within the last 30 minutes.

Right now I'm getting ready to play the Lord of the Rings board game by myself for a bit, so I can know how it works when my nerd friends come over to play some time.

Instead of buying my dad a new monitor, I gave him my 15" Sony LCD.

(Then I went and got myself a shiney 17" NEC.)

Keep them coming! These are great! Porpoise, that is a classic move.

I have gotten excited at the opportunity to meet certain computer programmers at a local Perl Users Group.

90% of my dates have been people I met online.

My wife and I instant message each other even if we're within 30 feet of each other.

Girls who have read the Silmarillion turn me on.

I have fallen asleep in front of my computer, and actually talked on an IRC channel in my sleep, while I was dreaming about IRC.

I still know all (most) of the words to 18 Sesame Street songs, and several other Muppet songs.

I bought an original Nintendo on eBay.

I still have my Apple IIc and two huge boxes of floppies.

This afternoon I bought 4 notebooks in 4 different colors to organize 4 parts of my life: music, writing, details of daily life, and personal improvement.

I went to the library yesterday and checked out six of the seven Chronicles of Narnia (they didn't have The Magician's Nephew, and I'm pissed!), and I've been listening to the soundtrack nonstop in my car.

I've had dreams about Star Trek. About being *in* Star Trek.

I have a pen (several of them, in fact) that I guard with my life.

(On preview: Have instant messaged people within ten feet of me. Know the words to LOTS of Sesame Street and Muppet songs. Have color-coded my subjects since middle school.)

Once, for a computer-mediated discourse analysis class, I classified all the different computer-mediated ways I'd met my exes. Some folks in the class hadn't even /heard/ of some of the methods (chronologically: ytalk, ICQ, email, MUD, Orkut, AIM).

Fuzzbean, you're not Captain Marshall Oak, are you?

I par2-ed my school-related work/data that is to be left with the lab when I leave next week so in case bad sectors arise on the CD (and another copy on DVD) media, the data can be recovered.

Bro#1 and I used to ICQ each other while in the same house. The mister and I talk to each other through EverQuest. We sit less than seven feet apart.

I was invited to dinner yesterday and took my new toy. After dinner drinks were declined due to lack of wifi.

Porpoise, no.
