What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?

A n00b, it seems.

About Me:

I'm 24 and don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I do know that I want to be better than anyone else at it, so I'd better find something both easy and uninteresting to others. I thrive on elicited "awe's" through the power of autobiographical story-telling. I enjoy laughing at myself and others. Feel-good inspirational speeches make me want to get up and do something but I rarely think of something useful to do before I run out of steam and take a nap. In short, I need direction.

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more

If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?

Actually, I looked forwards to the day I would be “tagged.” It’s like an internet coming of age. One cannot argue that makes me even more nerd-like. Let’s get to it.

1) I can't bend my right thumb. Let me explain. I attempted to show my friends a “two finger pushup,” which involves only the thumb and index finger of one hand. Only one of those fingers came out intact. At the time I thought I was displaying phenomenal strength in the above-mentioned opposable digit but instead proved to be perma… Continue

Well, in all honesty, I have this overwhelming fear of rejection that cripples said spirit. It's not an attractive quality.

whether you like it or not...probably not...you have to post 5 things about yourself in a blog and then tag 5 others.

Yes?

The hair on my head is rather long. However, drinking the distilled water has left no lasting impression on my psyche, as far as I can tell.
