Re: Nerdy Confessions
Oh.. I could give you a list of hundreds of nerdy things I do that I would never admit to anyone... :-)

I love Harry Potter as well, I would rather read a book any day than watch the movie! I sing very loudly to Queen in my car, I car dance like there is no tomorrow (much to my husband's emabrrassment), still prefer Tetris to the latest video games, and sing commercial jingles whilst grocery shopping... And I enjoy every moment! he he

Re: Nerdy Confessions
My nerdy confession is that I love rollerblading and purple spandex. It's really strange, but when I ran track in college, I would secretly love the cold outdoor practices b/c i could bust out the "purp" (as my roommates called them). I still keep them in my bottom drawer, and when no one is around, I wear them proudly. And someday I'll have the guts to wear them WHILE rollerblading.

Re: Nerdy Confessions
All of these posts are terrific!! Here's a confession to a few of my nerdy quirks:

I enjoying singing in the car. Sounds normal until I tell you what songs I sing: O Holy Night and the Star Spangled Banner. It gets funnier: I usually sing them outside of the holiday too! I just love belching these songs out because I sing them really well (in my opinion anyway).

It usually takes me 30 minutes to reply to a simple email just because I want to make sure it makes sense, looks visually appealing, proper words are used, and to ensure the reader is not offended in any way.

I also prefer Tetris over any other video game!

Re: Nerdy Confessions
Oh dear I can't believe I am about to put this in writing. Recently when we went on holidays I created our Travel Itinerary complete with tabbed attachments for reference. I love puzzles and quizs so much I have sudoku toliet paper. I always read the instruction manual sometimes just for interest. When travelling I always vist the local bookstore. When I was school I use to have a "fake" pair of glasses to wear so I would look smarter. I secretly have thing for doris day music. ok I thnk I better stop now before I say something embrassing ooops

They tell me to get a life!!! LOL
Believe me, it's not nerdy to sing Christmas songs in the summer! I bust out my Sarah McLachlan Christmas album in June all of the time. Do you guys have any nerdy confessions about TV shows you like? I'm obsessed with American Idol. I think January is truly the worst month ever, but the fact that AI premiers every January redeems it.

Hi KeriForsythe. Here are a few of my nerdy TV confessions:

I like watching the Bachelor and the Bachelorette and imagine myself being on the show (how I would do things different then those women on there). And my new favorite: Mama's Boy. Sometimes my husband will watch them with me too! LOL!

Okay, Keri, this is just TMI!!!!!

Purple spandex while roller blading.

Suddenly an image of Barney the dinasaur on wheels popped into mind. I'll have to sing "It's a Small World After All" over and over to get it out of my head!

The nerdiest thing I did over the holidays was undecorate the house while watching every episode I own of the Golden Girls and quoting the punch lines before they did!

Stuart, do NOT knock the purple spandex. Someday, they will come back into style and everyone will be jealous because I have a fabulous pair of them

Re: Nerdy Confessions
Be sure to check with Chrissy and Robin as I'm sure between the two of them they can find you some 80's leg warmers and head bands from their closets!

Re: Nerdy Confessions
Ya know, STUART, the 80's are hip again. So step off the purp! And Keri, I'm totally gonna rollerblade with you - let's find a boardwalk somewhere and you can hold a boom box on one shoulder!

In terms of nerdy tv shows, I'm such a Law and Order geek - since it's on at least one channel 24 hours a day. I have my favorite "crews" and I'll happily rewatch episodes I've already seen....

And - to respond to Stuart's Golden Girls confession - I'm guessing the Stuart see's himself as a "Sophia". Myself, I'm a "Dorothy" - she's the practical one And Keri...hmmmm...you're a "Rose"!!

Anyone else identify with a particular Golden Girl? Come on...you know you do!
