<p>I know that most people are more worried about THOSE pieces of paper, but I think we should get our minds off the subject even just for a few seconds. So: THE THINGS THAT MAKE ME A NERD:</p>
<li><p>I still like some video games. I’m a Harvest Moon freak all the way. I AM Karen.</p></li>
<li><p>Finding this site and checking it now…ahh…hourly.</p></li>
<li><p>Having gone to a ‘Journalism dance’ it was at a convention in Seattle and it was hecka fun…but still…</p></li>
<li><p>Knowing the capital of every state…it was a family game when I was little…maybe nerdiness comes from genetics.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Harvest Moon 64? I totally played that in 6th grade...awesome.</p>
<ol>
<li>I tell chemistry-related jokes
For example - a conversation between two atoms
Atom 1: I think I've lost an electron.
Atom 2: Are you sure?
Atom 1: I'm positive!</li>
</ol>
<p>yeah.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I can't stand unclosed parentheses. If I see an unclosed parentheses I will not hesistate to close it. Thoughts need completeness, man!</p></li>
<li><p>I love reading Faulkner. I guess that makes me a literary nerd.</p></li>
<li><p>I waste so much time watching the History/Science Channel it's not even funny...</p></li>
<li><p>I flake out on friends on certain Friday nights so I can watch Numbers. There's math on it! Math that is used to solve crimes! That's awesome!</p></li>
<li><p>I read the nutrition facts on like everything...not because I'm into healthy eating but because I find them interesting.</p></li>
<li><p>I own A Brief History of Time and I've actually bothered to read it (instead of just displaying it to show off).</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>I read 'The Annals of Tacitus' and selections from 'The Great Political Theories' Volumes 1 and 2 when I get bored. If that doesn't make me a nerd, I don't know what does.</p></li>
<li><p>I spend more time reading the historical backgrounds than I do actually playing on Age of Empires.</p></li>
<li><p>Economic analysis on StarCraft is so awesome.</p></li>
<li><p>My favorite drunken topics of conversation are capitalism and economic inequality.</p></li>
<li><p>I spend hours comparing ingredients in different bodybuilding products to test their scientific validity because it's so damn fascinating.... if only I could actually afford them.....</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Ah, Harvest Moon, that really brings me back. I remember I married the girl who worked at the flower shop. Who in their right mind would produce and market a game about farming? Genius...</p>

<ol>
<li>i've actually read the elegant universe</li>
<li>i think getting a hard physics problem right is one of the most satisfying feelings</li>

<li> i regularly tivo from channel 170 ("the science channel")</li>
