and one more thing...

(sorry i will leave you alone soon)

where do word nerds factor into all of this? i'm a grammar nerd, dammit! good thing i covered all bases and took physics. now i just need some glasses affixed together at the bridge with some really groovy masking tape. i'm also rethinking my decision to get braces as crooked teeth really work on a nerd.

(8) if only i could tuuurn back tiiime.... (8)

I should go back and check my old entries more often I think. I didn't even know that you'd taken this test till just now...
Anyway... word nerds are usually nerds in more areas than just etymology and stuff. Like me, they probably apply the same diligence to other areas of life and study. For me it was, among other things, computers and physics. I really enjoyed physics at (public & home) school.... ahhh, the memories!

Have you ever seen the movie 'BlankMan' with Damon Wayans in it? I love his glasses. I always wanted some like that but I have great eyesight and never can find the right frames for me.

Good teeth are essential to being an uber-cool nerd in adulthood. The spunky nerd hiding behind the glasses with her hair tied up always has great teeth. My teeth are driving me absolutely nuts the way they are right now. I wish I had the cash or insurance to fix them properly! :(

Also... I not only have a linux sticker or two lying about, but I also have these linux-related binoculars that can fold up and fit in your pocket to look like your calculator or organiser. I love my gadgets! And being a nerd! :D

I actually have a much higher score. It's a little hard to admit, but there seems to be more Nerdular Nerdence in my life as I get older. I just can't bring myself to post it. I guess I'm glad that I don't have a pocket protector or suspenders but I... crumbs! Am I ashamed of my nerdyness?

If you are than I don't want to have anything to do with you! Nerdiness is a gift! Be glad you were chosen to cary it.
