Creating anime maid personifications of the four fundamental forces of nature (Gravity, Strong Nuclear, Weak Nuclear, and Electromagnetism)

And then subsequently dressing up as the Electromagnetism character for halloween and an anime convention:

I feel like I'm a really bizarre form of a nerd.

Played D&D? Doing so again this Saturday, so yeah. I guess that. Can't think of much else. I genuinely enjoy maths... I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh. I like anime. That's all I got.
Judging by your avatar, you'll like this: I bought the David Tennant Doctor Who coat.

Yes, it is glorious.

Played Caravan (card game from Fallout) with a friend IRL, using my bottlecap collection as betting currency.

It was fucking fun.

I tend not to do 'nerdy' things... 'geeky' things, on the other hand, oh, where to start...?
Yeah, same. I just put the gamer-iest (?) thing for mine :p

Where... just... WHERE???

EDIT: That's another thing about me that's kinda nerdy. I have a PASSION for big coats. Trench coats, dusters, all the like. I have a Trench coat I where inside all the time (even in summer) but I'm too embarrased to where it in public. Hell I would KILL for either Tennant's coat or Captain Jack's WW2 coat (not gay BTW :D)

Spending $250 on buying the hard copies of a webcomic that I had already read in it's entirety online. Totally fucking worth it.

I took part in a LARP last month and had lots of fun. After that we played a Battlestar Galactica board game until 4am.

OT: i'm a general nerd, if existing doesn't count then i'd have to say..... when i went for two weeks work experience with my uncle in the middle of uni. he showed me the server room and i was really really interested they even offered to let me install a new processor in their mail server. i subsequently broke it. however i was told alot of processors come out dud i beleive i broke it anyway. yum technology.

Wrote a program for my calculator with a friend which shows an analogue clock. Took us the best part of three days, and we kept making changing functions, like inverting the contrast, reversing the clock and so forth.

Beautiful. I also plan on buying that, when I get the damn money... My girlfriend has ordered the Sonic Screwdriver (tenth Doctor version) from Thinkgeek.

I has created an EVE account. And use the app Aura and Evanova to constantly monitor my offline actions. Never has getting a text been so exciting.

Why, yes, those are soft cries for a social life you heard.

I dunno the first thing to come to mind is sitting 3 am on a saturday morning outside Games Workshop to be first in line to their White Dwarf birthday party, playing D&D at the same time as we sew dwarf beards to wear during the celebration and polished our army lists for the tournaments.

we actually got extra gifts from the shop owners for our dedication ^_^

Explain the story of Dragonage.
For some reason words like Dalish elves and Darkspawn sound incredibly nerdy

Probably just before I clicked on this, I looked at the thread about the Water Temple not being the hardest in Zelda. The fact I know exactly what is being spoken about makes me feel nerdy.

It's not enough that I've played the game, I had no problem with the water temple, (I can't even remember it, it was that long ago to me), but I've been on enough Internet game forums to know that other gamers have had problems with it and somehow I've managed to register that fact in my brain over the experience of playing the game. I am nerd.

A couple years ago I was keeping a journal in 8-bit binary.
I was actually getting pretty fast.

Oh, and I married my DM. Does that count as nerdy? or geeky?
