(Inspired by Marissa's foreign film thread)
I never took a relative to the prom or anything, so I'd have to say it's that I am perfectly happy & sometimes enthralled watching any number of PBS historical documentaries.
:cool: (Picture this smilie with white tape over the nose bridge.)

If there's European History on TV, i'm there. If there's a French film on TV or if it's just been released in theaters(especially if Catherine Deneuve is in it), i'm there. I like Fleetwood Mac. I'm I've been known to screw my friends over and sit home listening to Fleetwood Mac and watching documentaries and French films (they yell at me). Unlike most my age, I don't like to party. In high school I was on the bowling team, in choir, and I was in the culture club (not the band, Jake, because I know you'll go there..lol). I may not look like your typical nerd, but for those reasons and more, I am :D :nod:

We need a smiley that shakes it's head instead of nods. I saw that one coming from a mile away. I think you can add King of Song Parodies to your nerd profile :nod:

We didn't have a debate team but had there been one, I most likely would have been on it.

I don't really think all of these things are dorky, but my friends certainly think so *sigh*.

I like Fleetwood Mac, U2, Blondie, Heart, The Police, The Rolling Stones, Ozzy Osbourne, Jefferson Airplane, etc. And most people my age have not even heard of them. I'm extremely into audio-visual stuff. I wear a lot of vintage (or vintage-looking) clothing, and it's all black. I like dying my hair different colors. I wear mis-matched earrings. I have a huge Garfield collection. I only watch Bands Reunited, What Not to Wear, and old TV shows like Roseanne, Cheers, Get Smart, The Drew Carey Show, etc. I have more records and CDs than my parents do. I like English, Literature and Art more than most of the kids I know. I could go on and on and on... lol.

1. i watch The Bold & The Beautiful. generally i'm not a soaps viewer, prior to this, i only followed Dallas and Dynasty back in the 1980's.
it started in 1996, when i was working with 3 girls who were all addicts and were discussing the series all the time, so when i saw it on tv, it was really easy to sink in coz i had the contexts already, so depending on my schedules over the years, i've been following it ever since, sometimes i'd catch an episode per week, but if my schedule allowes me, my motivation would be to watch the whole 6 episodes.
as embarresing as it may be, watching series that my grandma watches as well can be great, i try visiting her when it's on, so i can watch it with her and i don't have to communicate with the old bag other then on commercials breaks.

2. i bouget them many years ago, and i don't expect to ever listen to them again, but i still have them. michael bolton's first 6 albums. :eek:

OK!! Everybody raise their right hand and swear they won't laugh....Got 'em up??....OK....the 'nerdiest' thing about me is....I am a closet "Diamondhead"....Yes....I confess...I like Neil Diamond...I think he's one of the most prolific and amazing songwriters ever.:nod:

Well, actually let me clarify. I'm talking pre-Jazz Singer. Songs like Brooklyn Roads...Brother Love's Travelin' Salvation Show...Shilo...Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon...Stones...all the great classics...Very cool stuff if you give it a listen :cool:

DeeGeMe
01-29-2004, 09:15 AM
Uh. . . I like Neil Diamond too. And I even like the Jazz Singer error. How can you beat "Hello Again?"

And I may possibly somewhere have a Barry Manilow CD or two. (Pre-Copacabana days) Hey, he was a big star when I was in grade school! He sang tender ballads. And I didn't know what gay was back then.

There may be an ABBA record or two in my collection.

And possibly John Denver.

Not that I would ever admit any of this.

I was your basic smart-girl geek in school. I didn't even go to my proms!

Dual major in English & Political Science.

Not only do I watch PBS, I even worked for them for awhile!

I can name every single of Elizabeth Taylor's husbands--in order.

I can program my VCR.

I can hook-up any computer and all the little accessories.

I never got over Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights.

I'm fascinated by documentaries.

I read a lot of biographies--last one read was about the 6 wives of Henry VIII.

Wow--I really am a closet geek.

Hehe. A couple? I have all of their remastered CDs, the live album, and abba gold & more abba gold.

The geekiest thing about me is probably my love of older music. It's also one of my favorite things about me so it's all good.

I also know lyrics to a lot of older music. Last night I was singing 'Let's Stay Together' with my youth pastor. So funny.

I work for an NPR affiliate...but around here that's considered really cool :D hehehe...unless you're 12 in which case working for the local crap station (which I used to do) is cooler...

I LOVE Little House on the Prairie and have three of the seasons on DVD..and will be getting the fourth on the day it comes out!!!

I still have a blankie :)

I still have my old bear bear

I have memorized Steel Magnolias, Smoky Mountain Christmas abd Wizard of Oz

Nerds unite!! LOL

I loved English and Science when I was in school.

I like '80s country music...like Ronnie Milsap, Dolly's stuff, George Strait, Alabama, etc..

I don't party, I stay home and watch TV...like last night, I came across a movie with Timothy Dalton (YUM!!), Peter O'Toole and Kate Hepburn in it...and stayed up until 1AM to watch it. LOL I think it was Lion in Winter or something.

I collect keychains. :nod:

I never went to a football game in high school, but I did root for them at the pep rallys. :rolleyes: LOL

I didn't go to prom either, but I did go to the Save Our Seniors gambling night thing after prom.

I have a lot of qualities of essential "nerdiness", so I'll make it short:

I know how computers work, and how to run programs

I collect both CDs and records of older music

My favorite year of music is 1982... :D

Someone can name off a band/musician and I could name them either what Top Ten hit they had, or some stupid fact about them

I'm still good at Algebra :eek:, History, Art, Literature, and English

I've never been to my prom (that's okay, my parents told me theirs sucked anyway)

I still love stuffed animals and animation

I still draw cartoons

I get excited if there's a program about painters on PBS

I looooveee old movies

And...

At one point, I could (and sadly I still can) can do the entire movie "Twister", line by line...

Edit: Even though I had the CD, I listened to Mirage with my old record player, in its entirety. It may not be geeky, I just found that weird...

I am a BIOTECHNOLOGY major, so I automatically qualify, and an English minor b/c I found it relaxing:distress: Plus to top this off i took environmental Law for FUN:eek: Oh and I love Physics. Okay thats my academia problems:)

Now other stuff:

95% of the music I own was created before I was born, and sometimes I find myself correcting my Dad on music triva (Beatles, Mac, and JA). Oh and I LOVE the movie Yellow Submarine, and yes I sing along:laugh:

I am a HUGE Star Wars fan (hence 1/2 of my user name). I have read the books, including NJO, and Zahn is "god."

I loved Daria (MTV show) and still have the episodes on tape:)

I have a massive comic book collection (Archie) that includes those from the 60s (used) -now.

I can program a VCR, and I can clean my hard drive.

I am capable of checking my cars oil, and I actually enjoy looking at cars, I can even tell the difference b/t a Challenger and a Charger.

I Love football and I do know the position names.

I know way to many trivial facts about horse racing (can spend hours looking over bloodlines), ice-skating, and gymnastics.

Oh and for all you color blind out there: I can tell the diference b/t Teal, turquoise, aquamarine, sea green, and cereluan.

I can spend hours in a Barnes& Nobel or Borders.

The only sad one I remember seeing (I was not a fan of the show) is where the girl goes blind.

Hey, here's one for nerdship: Does anybody else remember the 1981 telemovie Midnight Offerings where The Little House blind girl & The Waltons girl play battling high school witches until the mother kills the evil one? Marion Ross plays a psychic. Awful but you can't look away.

The Weir one is the best (I have several books by her - she chooses great subjects) IMO, though i'm intrigued by the revisionist theories in the Karen Lindsey one. I did not care for the Starkey PBS series at all. Too many big gaps & assumptions. I was disappointed.

Is there some support group for those of us who can't do all three?

Don't get me started on refrigerators & cabinets that open the wrong way.:distress:

I grapple with important issues like Betty vs. Veronica and Marianne vs. Ginger. I just can't decide.

Yeah, that's the movie. Didn't Elisabeth Shue get an Oscar nod for that Nick Cage Vegas film, or was it just a Globe? She was a cutie in the babysitting movie. Mercifully I have not seen her brother anywhere since his Melrose days.

Remember when Heather Locklear did the Melrose sketch on SNL? Adam Sandler did a hilarious Billy impression, monotone & idiotic lines & all.

Yeah, but I lost all my plugs when I mis-used my Flowbie. Damned complicated directions. Next time I won't use it while I'm in the tub.

YES! That was also the same episode where she and Kevin Nelin are in a bar and he's checking her out and copying everything she does. At the end of the sketch, she takes a bottle labled POISON and drinks from it then he pulls one out and does the same but she rips the label off of hers and it's water :laugh:

Heather had surprisingly good comic timing. She also played that telethon host making all the horrible ethnic slurs.

Smart thinking Jake, smart thinking. So the next time I see you, you'll have hair. Now there won't be a need for sunglasses on the head! :laugh:
