Admit It! Your a NERD too!

Ok, so after I went to my high school reunion I got the thinking.

First off, if you don't already know, Jer is a HUGE W.O.W. Geek! No, not "Oh WOW!", but World of Warcraft "WOW". he has always loved games, whether it was board games or video or computer. Games are for Jer. or Jer is for games... I'm not sure which.

Anywho....

So oftentimes when we go places Jer can't help but to make some random comment or joke that pertains to WOW. And quite often he gets odd looks for it. Then he mentions that I play WOW and I most definitely get odd looks for it. Cause, you know, GIRLS aren't into that stuff!!! :D What I find amusing about this is the fact that this game is wildly popular. I promise that I have met more people that play WOW than any other hobby I've ever had... and I'm not talking about meeting them "in-game" either.

You know when you are on a date and happen to be talking "WOW lingo" and your waitress gets all chummy and excited about it with you... that you can't be THAT weird.

So, I've come to believe that everyone is a nerd in some way. Not necessarily with World of Warcraft, maybe Star Wars, board games, collecting random figurines, or maybe some other "nerdy" vice. I tend to find people that admit they are nerds in some fashion really fun to be around, cause lets face it... to some extent they really don't care that people think they are nerds!!! yay empowerment! :D

NERDS UNITE!!!

PS I found this article to be HIGHLY amusing.

More SKILLZ!

TADA!!!! And the video is a W.O.W. video so I hope Jer doesn't aggro and that you wowtards like it.



ok, here's how you do it... go to Youtube... pick out a funky video. Now look to the right. See there that little line of mumbo jumbo with something about "embed" above it? Yea, take that and insert into your blog entry. yeeehaw! there ya go.

Shout out to NAT!!!

ROFL for those of you who play W.O.W.

Ok, so randomness!! One of my favorite blogs posted this on there site. Funniest thing is that it was Mormon Mommy Wars... can we say Ironic???

Yes, Apparently I'm a trader...

Ok, so most of the time if you mention the game "World of Warcraft" in public you get really different reactions depending on the gender you are talking to.

If you happen to be speaking to a group of women you usually get irritation and a bit of "wife aggro" coming through. (BTW Wife aggro = Angry wife's that are usually upset or suspicious of the amount of time their husbands or significant others spend on a particular COMPUTER GAME.)

If you happen to be speaking to a group of guys you will get at least a few if not a lot of questions about what "class" you play and on what "realm" (Class = race, Realm = server). Or if the guy doesn't play you may get questions about how to avoid said "wife aggro" or maybe other specifics about the game.

Being a girl I'm usually expected to be in the "wife aggro" category. But low and behold... I too love the game. In fact, many an evening after the kidlets are in bed you may find Jer and I sitting in front of our computers beating the crap out of unsuspecting "horde", or "questing" for better gear.

I'll admit, at one point I was a little upset by the amount of time Jer spent playing... then we made some rules about playing when the kids are up etc. And I ... be devious like I am :oP decided to make a character for the sneaky objective of finding out what a reasonable amount of time would be to ask Jer to get off! (the game is in real time so it can't just be paused ... you actually have to logg off or find somewhere safe for a few minutes till you can get back)

Well, needless to say, I got hooked! So yes ladies ... I am a trader to that bain called WoW.

Now I guess I'll go clean till the server maintenance is done!
