Found in [info]humidcityloki's pockets after I beat him up for his lunch money.

How nerdy are you? Put an X next to each item on the list that describes you and then tally them up. Got 15 or more X's? Welcome to the Nerd Core.

Have you ever:

[X] Solved a Rubik's cube?
[X] Coded HTML?
[X] Been to a Renaissance Fair?
[ ] Been to a ComicCon? (No, but I guess WorldCon is close enough. If not, then is 10 WorldCons enough?)
[ ] Bought a comic book and charged it to your credit card?
[X] Used webspeak IRL in real life? (redundant!)
[ ] Edited a Wikipedia?
[X] Participated in a role-playing game?
[X] Tried to memorize Pi past 3.14 (three sig figs) in your free time? (Actually did memorize pi to ~10 digits, still to this day, as a result of a poster in a math class, just before I discovered the girls in same class)
[X] Used an ergonomic desk chair or keyboard? (A keyboard, which made my wrists hurt even more)
[X] Quoted Monty Python back and forth with a friend?
[ ] Discussed Nintendo's name change of the Revolution to the Wii?
[X] Participated in a trivia night or trivia contest? (Trivial Pursuit)
[ ] Won a debate tournament?
[ ] Played chess at lunch in school?
[X] Watched your friends play video games for more than an hour? (hi)
[ ] Been to a Harry Potter midnight party?
[ ] Recognized yourself in J.D. from the TV show Scrubs? (T-V?)
[ ] Seen an episode of Beauty and the Geek and thought the guys were cute? [Never seen it]
[X] Programmed extras into your graphing calculator? (omg yes. and got upset when I lost them)
[X] Been to a MENSA meetup? How about Phi Beta Kappa? (How about the *engineering* honor society)
[X] Done a happy dance after bowling a strike?
[ ] Referred to Lord of the Rings out loud as LotR?
[ ] Developed a shelving system for your books?
[X] Hated the people on principle who said high school was the best time of their life? (college too)

I only scored 11. A few of those I learned from Freddy, my S.N. (significant nerd).

I scored a 9, but 3 of those are debatable:

-I watch people play video games because I don't like playing video games.
-My friends and I used to write notes to each other on our graphing calculators during math class.
-My book shelving system involves organizing my books by spine color. (Okay fine, one of those books is my biostatistics textbook.)

Scored a 14. If playing chess with your teacher while doing a makeup chem lab (due to illness) counts, then 15.
