Proof I am a Nerd

I hope to be blogging more often for awhile, we have a big remodel coming up and I will try to document as much as I can so the millions of you can follow along at home!

Anyway, I was thinking about something the other day (I don't really recall what exactly it was) and thought "I am a total nerd". So Here is the nerdiest things about me.

I was such a Harry Potter nerd that I actually subscribed to a couple of Potter Podcasts.

I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy novels. I love the LOTR and have read all three books in the trilogy, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, and some other miscellaneous publications by author JRR Tokien. I own all three extended versions of the movies, total running time somewhere around 12 hours and another couple of days worth of special features.

The passenger side mat in my car that I drive to and from work is covered with fingernail trimmings... I'm not sure if this is nerdy or just gross, and I wonder why I can't find a carpool.

I don't watch sports. I never have and I probably never will. I'd rather watch c-span than espn any day of the week. I will try and keep up with the Jazz when they make the playoffs, but that is the maximum interest that I will ever show. I would like to point out, that although this is a nerdy trait, it also happens to be one of my wifes most favorite traits.

I get bloody noses easily, some might not classify this as nerdy, but I feel pretty dorky with a tissue sticking out of my nose as I walk around the house.

I call my Mom and Dad "Mommy and Daddy"... never really got over that stage I guess. Also, I do kiss my mom on the lips... it's the way I was raised, OK. I didn't actually know this was weird until a rather awkward conversation I had with some guys at the MTC. I think the statement I mad had something to do with comparing a certain kiss to one like you give your Mom. Not everyone understood my comparison.

I'm going to stop there. I was planning on making a cool list too, but after getting stumped at number 2... I decided to let it rest.

Oh, by the way, since there are like 3 people who ever come to my blog, I'd like to pass on this list as an assignment to yall. Leave a comment to know that you read my post and are brave enough to let us all know how nerdy you are.

I love those kind of books as well and wouldn't say you have or ever will be a nerd, but a geek, like my hubby.

If you don't remember me, it's Melissa Field Bennion. I'm glad I found your blog. Very cute family. Check out my family at thebennionclan.blogspot.com. I will check your blog probably regularly like everybody's else because I'm just a geek that way!

Very funny and enjoyable article - Garrett and I had a good laugh. He wouldn't take the challenge and I have enough to pick what to share - so I did chemistry on prom night and enjoyed practicing the section of the GRE (not the math or English test, but the other one) just for fun.
