Come and fess up to the ways in which you are really square/bit of a nerd

I asked for a Dymo Label Maker for Christmas, because making labels is fun.

I have a notebook that is used solely for recording our scores at Scrabble in. I pretend that it's just easier to keep some paper with the game, but it's really because I want a record of all the scores. DH used to win more than I did but since I bought 'him' Scrabble Trickster for Christmas I have been kicking his ass.

I have a puzzle book hidden under the bed, so I can do a couple of puzzles before I read a bit of my book and then go to sleep.

I have a secret love of brass bands, military bands especially, and cannot be moved from one if we discover one playing somewhere.

My first crush was on the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. I still have a t-shirt with his picture on it and the words "Heartless...but quite a lover" written underneath him.

stressheaderic - do you enjoy a nice tower crane? I do.

Bored friends and family getting all excited about the hadron collider , and talking about fractals ad infinaty.

Im a geek trapped in a bimbos body !

I once ran downstairs naked giddy with excitement because DH noticed a hedgehog in front of our house.

Seeing finches/tits/wagtails makes me inexplicably happy and I strive to one day take a decent photo of one.

A book of squared paper (a la School maths book) or a pattern colouring booj and colouring pens is my idea of heaven, ooh or a compass/ruler so I can make my own

I just watched It's a wonderful life and sobbed my heart out at the end

I get a bit peeved with people saying I must love regular sudoku because I am good at maths when maths is irrelevant and I find sudoku a bit dull. But give me a hanjie/mosaic/hitori/randommadeupname puzzle and I'm happy.

I switched to an open degree instead of maths because I missed reading compulsory texts and writing essays

I love family guy, American dad and Futurama and quote them far too much. Same with Friends.

I am completely non geeky in most aspects of my life. Quite into fashion, do very mainstream things etc.

However, I love looking at pictures of tall or interesting buildings and bridges on the Internet. I love a good tower block and I'm fascinated with their construction and demolition.
I can't tell anyone about this.

I have to have my cds in alphabetical order
I have rules with regards to peg husbandry
I have a jigboard and like jigsawa
I love stationary
I love logic problems
I have worked out the best way to play battleships and my husband now won't play me as its 'boring'
I have a book in which i record the 'details' of all my paperwork. One page per item.
I watch antiques roadshow and countryfile
I have to have 'spares' of everything - down to margerine

I am an accountant

there are lots more..........

cafes not cages

I am very lucky in that my DH is also a massive geek - our best holidays have been spent sitting outside cages in the sun playing endless games of cards (and obviously keeping score). I have notebooks with pages of rummy scores from our honeymoon!

We also sing in the car (have been doing this since way before we had children) and it's often hymns despite the fact that DH is an atheist - but loves a good hymn!

We often do the guardian quick crossword online together and we do all the online only connect walls.

I think if I met me, we wouldn't be friends.

Oh yes birdsofshore birdwatching too.

I can do linear equations. And I love the documentary channels. Oh and I can do a Rubiks cube.

I do the easy crossword every day, cos cryptic is too much like hard work. And love country and western music.

Listening to Radio 4 is normal surely and not at all nerdy. I love Horizon, Private Eye, RI Lectures, Star Trek, Dr Who, QI. I cannot stand the usual Saturday night TV (X-factor and so on).

Thanks for that link Lollipop. That'll be hours of my life gone...

I knit obsessively and without formal patterns often, almost exclusively seamless too.

I can do cross stitch and embroidery very nicely but the kids have stollen my concentration for fine counted work. Tapestry bores me now.

I listen to radio 4 and radio 7 (it will never be "radio 4 extra" to me really).

Bloody love music in the Anglican Choral tradition.

(But I'm also a paid up apple addict and aldi shopper, where the hell do I fit socially LOL)

I read obsessively, and kept a book diary for a year and read 366
I am a fan of a cup of tea, a bath and the new Lakeland catalogue

LeQueen, it's great isn't it? I have a very endearing habit of shouting at the telly to correct historical inaccuracies and explaining the bloodlines to my oh-so--interested DH ('Oh, do you see her there, she was Henry's mistress, while he was married to so-and-so, she was married to whodyamacallit, who was the Duke of somewhere'). Better than Eastenders any day

I too am bit obsessed with Eddie Stobart, although I do not write them down in a book...
redrubyshoes - did you know there is a Eddie Stobart fan club?

I like word games, and board games, and card games.

I like reading, and am really into politics and economics and demographics (I like reading immigration statistics every now and then - demographics is destiny!)

I had braces. I change into pyjamas as soon as I get home from work.

Am feeling nice and comfy in this thread!

We need to know if redrubyshoes wears vests.
And redrubyshoes sounds quite glam.
If she was sensiblelowheeledredrubyshoes that would clinch it.
