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

I love physics. Always have, and can talk for far too long about my job.

Big sci fi and fantasy fan, and like nothing more than a good science documentary.

Littleprincess - I am obsessed with binding and attachment theory after studying it and bored my poor poor DB with it when my nephew was about half a day old

oooo and I have asthma and eczema. I have zero co-ordination and I am terrified of sport and footballs.

www.jigzone.com for all jigsaw addicts :)

I'm going to do one now, in fact :)

This is an absoloute cracker of a read for anyone who knows the power of a Good List. It's virtually my Bible.

I think Douglas Adams was the most amazing writer who has ever lived.

I also like books with magic and elves. and anything written by Julia Donaldson.

My favourite band is Good Charlotte.

I love Comic book movies (X-men/Spiderman/Watchmen) but I don't actually read comic books (or graphic novels as DH insists I call them )

I can spend hours playing with Lego.

I find Child Development theories fascinating. Seriously, I am doing a degree in Early Years Education and even the other students on my course think I'm way to into this whole 'early years' thing....

you all sound really clever im a bit geeky but a bit thick

Mal, you sound terrifying.

• I do Gauss-Jordan elimination in my head during boring meetings
• My party trick is to demonstrate the relativistic equivalence of electricity and magnetism via the Lorentz transform while drunk. I usually get it wrong, but luckily everyone will have nervously backed away by then.
• I have a tattoo of Dungeons and Dragons dice (d20, d12, d8 etc)
• I read SF and fantasy almost exclusively
• I have a subscription to 2000AD
• I know Linux, UNIX and VMS inside-out but have never used Windows
• I am building an Arduino-powered sound sensitive LED lighting matrix for DS's (14mo) bedroom, that will hopefully respond in different ways to claps, shouts, singing etc. Or possibly explode in a shower of sparks. Could go either way at this point.
• I really like making lists

online jigsaws?!? this could be the answer to my dreams. i miss my jigsaws and have always resisted temptation to buy one but gaze longingly at them every time i see them in shops. ds1 is 3 so they're almost fun to do!

i too would rather stay home to clean and tidy.

I have no idea what # tag means but i think that is because im old rather than square

I'm obsessed with cryptic crosswords. Not in an endearing 25 minutes on the commute kind of way, but I get obsessed until I have completed that day's puzzle.

I think David attenburgh is a god i even watched his life of plants

I love Terry Pratchett, Historical fiction, stationary and professional wrestling.

Ooo and I have to watch antiques roadshow, dd and I love to have a guess at the value of the stuff and who ever gets the most wrong has to put the kettle on.

I am maybe edging from geeky into sad.

As well as jigsaws, I also enjoy cross-channel ferries (but not being on them); Type 42 destroyers (only three left now in service - such an elegant ship ) and...

I might be about to kill the thread.......

I sing along to Songs of Praise AND watch Countryfile.

'rocking out' to Annie

I love work and thing about it all the time.
I read highly technical manuals and research papers for fun.

Cleaning and tidying are two of my most favourite things in the worls to do.

I am gripped by effective administration.

To my horror delight I have learnt that there isn't much that can beat a mug of Earl Grey and yes, a jigsaw.
Have a fiendish Native American dreamcatcher/running deer horror on my kitchen table and am loving every minute of it. Ostensibly it is for my dd and i pretend to grumble at her for not doing it.
Secretly, am delighted.

Online jigsaw?? Lollipop where can I find these, it can be something else I get addicted to.

I like reading books about Scott of the Antarctic, whale hunting, terrible shipwrecks etc.

I get into big debates about which Jane Austen book/character/film adaptation is the best and why.

I can recognise the opening notes of a Smiths song at a 1000 paces.

I have an entire cupboard full of Stephen King books which I like to smile at every day.

I play games with myself/dd1 in which I/we try and spot 'characters' from books when walking around town or in paintings when in art galleries.

i watched countryfile for the 1st time last week and thoroughly enjoyed it.
i love wordsearches
i had a jigsaw for xmas from my inlaws [my mil's a jigsaw addict] not started it yet but i'm thinking of buying one of those mats that you do jigsaws on so it can be stored out of sight
i love family history
i have numerous colouring books and colour when i'm stressed out

Kurri I saw an article about Kinkade (who I had never heard of before) which said that a large percentage of homes in America own one of his pictures (can't remember actual figures), and said how they are actually quite creepy as it is as if the homes are all on fire inside - I agree with this!

Oh and I am a nerd as I have just spent a couple of hours playing the new zelda game - I am a geek addicted
