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

[baubleybobbityhat]

I love a nice big jigsaw, me. Preferably something like a thatched cottage surrounded by flowers.

I am too embarrassed to do them at home because my 80 year old mother and inlaws who are in their 70s share my enthusiasm and I just think if any of my uber-cool London creative/media-type mates came calling and saw a bugger like that on my dining table they would think I was a very sad case and immediately drop me.

I got a jigsaw out of the library the other day that must be doubly nerdy. I just couldn't resist - it had been so long since I had a big enough space to do one!
Dh was

I'm mostly dressed like a goth - head to toe black, trainers, streaks in my hair etc - and I always have my ipod plugged in if i'm walking anywhere or at the gym... but I'm just as likely to be listening to a musical soundtrack instead of some cool metal band.
Not even cool, edgy musicals - on saturday I was rocking out to the sosundtrack of Annie... all together now - 'The sun'll come out TOMORROW!'

Oh crikey Panda! One of our neighbours was having a sort out at the weekend and brought round the dvd of Annie for my 10 year old dd. Have never seen the film myself ... is it nerd-tastic?

Annie is a great film!
I read cookbooks for fun but don't usually cook any of it. I want to be Martha Stewart and am currently knitting DD a scarf. At 22 my life may be over

tasteslikepanda you sound a bit like my eldest she a bit indie looking but has show tunes blaring

bibbity - I love a good jigsaw; my jig of choice would be a nice Devon scene with some cottages, boats on the shore, trees and not too much fecking sky.

And if there IS sky, some bloody clouds please - preferably with some shite hawks wheeling about and maybe some telegraph lines or a plane.

Annie = perfect for a 10 year old and not at all nerdy (though maybe nerdy for a Goth ipod!). I often peel vege to the, 'Songs From The Musicals' CDs - my favourite is, 'Spring, Spring, Spring' from, 'Seven Brides For Seven Brothers.'

I often find myself on a Friday or Saturday evening making resources for work because I've got myself all excitied about Shakespeare, or Wilfred Owen or some-such. That must be nerdy, right?

I am an absolute music nerd and will talk about 80s indie bands/lyrics until the cows come home - IF I can find another nerd to talk to, anyway!

I also like to arrange the tin of Caran D'ache pencils by colour, going from lightest to darkest...

I have a harry potter tee shirt and i wear it is that nerdy ??

I have 101 power ballads CD in my car and bloody love it, I secretly watch Countryfile and love watching old 80s cartoons.

I wear vests in the winter - does that count?

And I have never owned an iPod, done Facebook or bought leggings.

I've got really into astrophysics recently and bore people with it when I'm pissed.

I openly watch countryfile i also read books about primates and primate behaviour yet im not a scientist , thats gotta count as nerdy

I love starwars and harry potter get excited over xmen films ,

And the jigsaw MUST be a photo, not a painting.

My idea of jiggy hell is this range by Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Shite

I'd need a bucket under the table to complete one of those bastards.

I work in finance, it's very dull grown up with huge numbers. We are always busy, yet I spent a lot of last summer comparing my potato crop with one of my colleagues. We actually took photos.....

Annie is cheesetastic! I also love Grease, Hairspray and the musical episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and can sing along badly with all the parts!
The film is great - and has Tim Curry in it (bonus) and is almost as old as I am!

I am a nerd in many many ways. Radio 3 anyone?

I like numbers, particularly those that are a palindrome. In fact, I'm quite partial to any palindrome. This is rather odd, but I like numbers on a digital display that are made up out of the correct number of lines. 4,5 and 6 are all GOOD numbers. 2 is dreadful, because it is 5 backwards. And don't get me started on 1, why does that have two lines?

I like planes too, I like to know what country they've arrived from.

Reading this makes me even more sure that I am very very odd. I'll get my coat......

Yes to jigsaws, but like talc I hate too much sky/sea, I have one of Waterloo Station in the forties on the go at the moment.

I have quite a lot of very nerdy knowledge about certain musicians/singers (like specific musical things on recordings etc. very dull to everyone except me )

Reading old gardening books, descriptions of plants. latin names etc.

Similarly insects - I'm very keen on moths and butterflies, and birdwatching - but not in a twitchery way.

Remus - my set of Caran D'ache pencils was one of my best ever birthday presents (about 40 years ago!) arranging them by colour shade is incredibly satisfying.

tasteslikepanda I LOVED the musical episode of Buffy - the phrase "he's taking witness arias" never fails to cheer me up

Oh God the Thomas Kinkade range - why have they all got that strange radio active glow? They are like a pictorial representation of a migraine.

I have a train set :)
I love coloured paper and pencils.
LunaticFringe please can you help with my computer probem?See my new thread in Chat re Acer A500 tablet.

Hello, my name is MyCatIsA... and it has been 3hrs since my last scific/fantasy novel read..

I just love a swords and demons and sci fi fantasy novel thingy. Also love crappy sci fi films, pure fun escapism

Added to that, I adore sky at night, stuff on quantum physics (don't understand it at all, just want to!), evolution, life... sciency kind of stuff and..

.. I have been known to go to steam engine fairs and ploughing competitions...

So, that's that then, any tiny semblence of respect I may have slightly gained on MN is all gone!
