There is a closet nerd in everyone. I let mine out a long time ago, and I was never afraid to admit to my geekiness. I flex my ability to speak movie quote fluently, have prior to my military career taken a week off of work to play video games, and can name pretty much every superheroes real name and their mild-mannered alter-ego's profession.

What is your nerdy little secret?

If I have one, it is that I am also an avid Pathfinder (an off-shoot of Dungeons & Dragons) player. I really don't hide it, but that would be it.

I'm such a geek that I can't pick just one.
1. I read textbooks for fun.
2. I am an "Eternal" badge-holder at DragonCon (a sci-fi multi-genre convention) in Atlanta.
3. I like medieval fairs.
4. I love trivia games.
5. I am still addicted to Candy Crush, though I haven't moved levels in two months.
6. I really badly want to make my own Steampunk costume.
7. LTC Paul Labrador reminded me...I was in marching and concert band as 1st chair clarinet.

Yup! K-town! LOVE IT here! Now I wish my husband wasn't TDY so much. Damn Europe. He is gone more than when we were in the states. We are going on a cruise in April though pretty stoked about that. :)

When I was in Germany we helped with repairs on a Castle outside of Hanau. It was a thing a friend of mine dragged me to she was into this club that did reenactments. It was a Great weekend.

DnD, Comic books, cartoons, movies, video games, Legos.

At least those things. I've been in a few strange situations in which I have been in deep discussions on video game (or otherwise) forums and then run into those individuals at a get together and they are surprised by my appearance and fitness level. I am a huge fitness and healthy eating nut, as well as being in the military, but I am a nerd first.

I think the middle school me wants to still be there, but also does not want to be bullied anymore.
