Now, I’m a pretty proud nerd. I’m not embarrassed in the slightest about it. I just never realized how many nerdy things I actually do. There’s a lot. A lot more than 50. That’s for sure.
I decided to list them.
There are some things in the below list that you may believe are not that nerdy, but I included everything that I believe makes me nerdy. So read on, and if you can think of other nerdy things about me, let me know about them in the comments section.
