Sheesh. My "to be read" stack is easily over a thousand.

I have too many "to be read" books to leave them lying around the house. I have a very long list.

Me too, Jeesh . . . those are just the ones that are so close to the top that I've already bought them. [Wink]

I don't have enough money to buy all the books I like. I'm pretty sure I hold the record for most books check out at once from the library. Somewhere around sixty.

I've been playing Scrabble since I was 6 years old.

I can tell you all of the Q words which don't require U's.

I actually learned something from the reading comprehension section of the SAT.

They know my name at the library. Heck, they've even wiped out my fines before, just because.

I've turned down playing football with hot girls in bikini's to read my "Memoirs of Robert E. Lee" book.

A perch fish we were supposed to dissect in biology get exposed and hardened up and I adopted him (Freddy the petrified perch fish) rather than see him get thrown away. I then took him on trips with me. I irrationaly gave in to peer pressure one day and threw him away.

My biology teacher got me another one for my graduation present.

I am so geeky--I consider it a good day because I talked to Inara xxxx and Xxxx Ender today--two of my favorite clients.

oooh, and I sent a quote out to The Borg School. OK, they spell it Bourg, but we know that means that the Borg have Assimilated U.

You can't have it. But you can buy your own.

What makes me a true geek, is that I actually spent a month or two, compiling my own dictionary of the languages of Middle-Earth. [Wink] I still have 3 pages starting with Adan...then going to Mithrond...etc etc etc.

Bits of grammar study in there too. [Wink]

Traffic lights inexorably make me think of routers, I wear a watch that counts the time in binary by way of small green lights, and I have a T-Shirt that says "Bad grammar makes me [sic]."

I had that exact same watch over twenty years ago. It's good to know there are still some simple things in this world that don't change.

Oh, I have had various incarnations of this watch for close to twenty years. I love having a calculator any time I need it.

Yeah, but is it a math rock band?

Where did you get it?! I want one. Hell, I'll DIY it. Is that considered nerdy? Because I prefer to DIY almost everything.
