Nerd?


"You are such a nerd...I love that about you." A nerd? A friend at work said this to me today because I could finish a Lord of the Rings quote. I never really thought of myself as a nerd until this moment. I mean I always knew I was a bit quirky but I never thought of my quirks as nerd. Well I came to the conclusion that I am in fact quite a nerd and proud to be so!
--I watched the special features of Gone with the Wind...I can pull out facts at the drop of the hat.
