@quixotic_life - Very cool 😊
Just a few years back (Up to 2019) I was a cosplayer. I haven't been able to cosplay and go to cons because for the last 4 years I've worked weekends, but I have a new job that I have weekends off so I might just get back to cosplaying (Below was one of my favorite cosplay photoshoot, I was 20 at the time)
I used to write collaborative Star Trek-based fiction. I wrote from the perspective of my character, and then someone else wrote from theirs, and someone else, etc....
I taught William Shatner how use a mobile hotspot. Did I post this before? Can’t find it-if so, posting about it twice is the nerdiest thing I’ve done. 🤣
In 1997 when I was living in a college dormitory, I wardialed hundreds of phone numbers related to my college (I was using my computer to find random modems and hopefully a BBS). My wardialer was running while I was sleeping, and the next morning there were a lot of angry voicemails and people showing up to my door. They informed me that I called every single person in a nearby dormitory. I basically woke up an entire dormitory. Woops! xD
@natickben whoa. Talk about claim to fame.
@natickben Wouldn’t it paint a different picture if you showed Shatner how to use a mobile hotspot and he used the information to send a dick pic to Lt. Uhura?
Sadly, it really wouldn’t shock anyone if he did.
I wrote a limerick for Susan Isaacs, the actor who played the realtor on Parks and Rec. She liked it. 🙂

Is she from Nantucket?
@BoomerSpooner
No, she requested a limerick using the word, "abscond," and I wrote:
"Abscond" is a word that is second-rate If one is an acting-school graduate. Felonious flight Brings greatest delight When named using words like "absquatulate".
@JoyfulHeart What’s wrong with the word abscond?
Edits: Still working on that sentence for clarity. You get the point.
It’s way better to ‘abscond with the apples’ than to ‘sneak away with the apples’. It has such a better ring to it.
@stormydaycuddle
What’s wrong with the word abscond?
Truly nothing other than being hard to fit into a limerick. 🙂
@BoomerSpooner one of my besties is a big voice actress. He directed her when she was 16 on an episode of a television show. He came into the green room where she and I were hanging out , took a look at her and said “If you think she’s hot now, you should have seen her when she was 16”
@natickben OMG. Truth is more disappointing than fiction.
Other than nerd out on a daily bases I think my nerdiest thing is my favorite day on the faerun calendar is Ches 19 and my favorite year is 1385 during the spell plague where I took a city and transported them to another dimension and then made my own universe. Made continents and planets (instead of planes) all circling the sun which is just a prison for the creator of the universe and made god/esses. With this world I made two discord servers that play in two different cities in this world playlng text based dnd. 😅 also I made the city demographics which involved import and export. Nerd alert 🤣
@JoyfulHeart - That's awesome!!!
After a little more contemplation on this prompt, I'm thinking there's a good chance that the majority of my ramblings on this site could also get me my 'nerding' merit badge. Or at least the 'dork' or 'goober'ones.
@quixotic_life All those are positive things! You are amongst friends
Discuss calculus in the forums on a website about cuddling.
Lol @Bodhi777 i wish you had it so it would leave a funny message lol. Like if someone picked up it said “oops, you’re not a modem. Have a nice day!”
Bought a badge to attend an anime convention.
Okay so I have about 700 physical books and I actually have a spreadsheet to track them all 😅
@Mike403 You win.
The difference between nerds, geeks and dorks beautifully explained.
But regardless of their differences, they all think Ferris Bueller is a righteous dude.
Figured out how to self publish so I could publish my partner's poetry. Formatting is actually really time consuming lol
I'm obsessed with the circus show right now, to the point of reading the wiki pages and the subreddit. That's pretty nerdy. Also I failed multiple classes because I spent too much time programming in high school
Drama Club Dungeons and Dragons, Comic Books, LARPing long ago. Finally getting my comic book collection graded for eventual sale, still play (Pathfinder now), and a rabid karaoke fiend. And occasional reread of my college math and hysics textbooks.
I wrote an original song about a fictional character for a fandom community (Metalocalypse), and shared the recording. I feel 85% proud and 15% embarrassed by this act of nerdery.
@hey_nikky spreadsheets for EVERYTHING is a way of life, and I am right there with you!
@CompassCuddles dude, formatting is a total rabbit hole. Props to you for taking that on for your partner's poetry.
@Vocalist100 I love ttrpgs, and miss having a weekly game night!
@softkate one of my favorite things about my job is the amount of time I get to spend playing around in excel and smartsheet 😂
