What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?

completely obssessive book nerdfighter. band nerdfighter. theatre nerdfighter.

About Me:

I'm a 5th grader teacher and mom of two.

I love teaching. I want to help kids learn to be their true selves.

I don't love mean teasing.

I love reading, writing, drawing, painting, coloring. I especially love doing those things with new crayons, construction paper, and fat markers.

I don't love squash and onions.

I love being a mom....most of the time. But sometimes I want to send my kids on a trip around the world- alone.

I don't love pretentious people who think they're better than others. Especially those who look down their noses at people for what they enjoy.

I love living a million lives vicariously through books, movies, and TV.

I don't love people who think being from the southern US makes me somehow inferior to them.

I love musicals. I've seen plays in both London and New York (as well as traveling and local productions). (Broadway - A Chorus Line, Phantom of the Opera, The Drowsy Chaperone, The Producers, Wicked, Avenue Q. Chicago- Wicked. London - Starlight Express, Mousetrap, Miss Saigon, Cats. Touring - Peter Pan, Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Wicked, Hairspray, Mama Mia. Local- Our Town, Taming of the Shrew, Into the Woods, Arsenic & Old Lace. Performed in- Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, Up the Down Staircase, Grease, The Electric 80s, Broadway Beat of the 50s)

What Be Your Nerd Type?

Your Result: Literature Nerd

Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.

Social Nerd

Drama Nerd

Musician

Gamer/Computer Nerd

Artistic Nerd

Science/Math Nerd

PAPER TOWNS

I got Paper Towns!!! ( ...and danced around my living room with it. ) Oh My Goodness...it is made of pure awesome. I laughed so freakin' hard, and I fell in love with the characters too. On page 33, I suddenly realized that I had turned down like 5 pages to remember quotes and went to get a pen to mark it all up. I marked my way through the book, realizing as I did that the quotes I was marking were half funny and half touching. I did actually giggle out loud in several places -- one in particul… Continue

But I didn't realize you were someone who had contacted me on the Ning. It was a fun event, wasn't it! I hated to leave at the end. I just wanted to sit down with Hank and John and The Katherine and talk about books and anything else. Oh, well, I guess we have to let them sleep sometimes.
