in fifth grade, i won a state math award. i also had to take the PSAT that year, that sucked. in middle school, i was one of those kids who had to be shuttled to the high school for math courses. i pretty much kicked the math sections' ass on the ACT then got a perfect score on the IL Prairie State (granted the Prairie State exam is a JOKE. Ex: "Billy has 2 dollars in quarters. He buys gum for 50 cents. How many quarters does he have left?" AND THEY LET YOU USE A CALCULATOR. yet, some people still didn't meet "state expectations". what in the world?!?)
moral of the story: i have always hated math, yet it's always been my best subject. that's what i like to call irony.
Yes, I am an avid reader, including tons of classics, fantasy, and sci-fi.
Yes, I played D&D as a teen.
Yes, I like comic books, and anime.
Yes, I play mmorpgs, and actually beta tested several including WoW.
Yes, when I am actually watching t.v. it is likely to be on either History channel, Discovery, or Sci-fi Network.
Yes, I spend too much time on my computer.
Yes, I am a Star Wars, LOTR, and Star Trek fan.
And yes, yesterday I actually heard myself tell a coworker to email me his term paper because I enjoy proofreading....
Yes, I am a nerd,
and is that a problem?
Nope, just another piece to my puzzle!

This is my friend Kathy.. I was taking pictures of her in the cloak she made, but this shot is so 'her', it's my favourite.
She made the cloak to go LARPing (Live Action Role Playing). She is an unashamed nerd and I think she is fab!
Notice the pink Nerds candy she is using to replace her missing front tooth.

“Nerd. Geek. Used to be if you self-identified that way, you'd get thrown into a locker and never have sex. Or worse, whatever that is. But to me and more and more people I know, being a nerd or a geek means having passion, power, intelligence. Being a nerd just means there is something in the world that you care deeply about--be it twelve-sided dice, a favorite sports team, your new laptop or Knight Rider.”

This is an example of stock photography of Buddy Holly Glasses owned by my friend. I used this photo for a Paul Rand book project. I made my own makeshift infinity wall out of a cardboard box and some white paper. Photoshop cleaned up the creases in the paper and such and get a solid white point.
