The Nerdiest Things About Me

I know I tend to make fun of people on this blog at a fairly alarming frequency. So, to prove that I can also make fun of myself, here you go: nerd stuff about Liz:

I watch Battlestar Galactica! It’s true: I love that show. I love the nerdy “robots are taking over the world” premise. I love the nerdy idea of flying around in a little space craft deal, shooting down other space craft deals–enemy ones, who also happen to be trying to end my existence and the human race.

I also love robots in real life. I do. I even own one. I posted about this already, though.

I sometimes snort when I laugh really hard, sort of like Steve Urkel.

I participated in an academic challenge in high school (and junior high), and took it very seriously. Turks also did this with me a few times, just for the record. It was called “Pace Bowl.” If you actually know what that is, you qualify for the nerd hall of fame.

I like Jeopardy.

I like to dress up. Mostly for Halloween, but not only for Halloween.

I sometimes quote Star Wars.

I like to organize things. My husband also pointed out that I like to read books about organizing things.

I do like watching the History Channel, but I don’t think that’s nerdy.

I like watching infomercials, which is nerdy.

My nickname in my third grade class was “the human dictionary.” I was good at spelling. So what?

I like sweater vests. Not on me. On other people.

I have a lot of allergies. You know how nerds on TV are always allergic to things? Well, I had an allergic reaction once that made my entire face swell up and turn red.

I like grammar. True, this is necessary for my job. But I liked it before then.

I really do like argyle.

I would go on, but I figure at this rate I have enough info for a new post. So, check back later for “The Nerdiest Things About Me, Part 2.”
