Um, Ted Woolsey was responsible for teaching me more about the English language than anybody else up until I started taking foreign languages in High School?

Also, I suppose I did a standard tall room with pillars a la Moria in Dwarf Fortress, carved from cast obsidian beneath a fractal dormitory paved with copper and green glass so as to resemble a tree.

Hm... I play D&D a lot and write a bunch of homebrew?

[kaijyuu]

I can name off all the episodes of MLP in order, from 1 -28.

When my biology teacher announced to the class that she was pregnant, every body told her "congratulations!". Amidst all of this, I cheered "Yay! A fellow human being has taken it upon herself to reproduce and continue our species!". More later, when I can think of it. Oh, and upon some quick and dirty calculations, I found out that at least 2 to 3 weeks of my life have been spent sitting on my butt playing video games. And I was reading at a college level in 6th grade. And I would often read 2 or more large books a day, namely the red wall series.

I used to rip 2-3 of those a week.

I read the entire Redwall series (all 16+ books at the time) during the September and October of my 4th grade year. Why? So that I could finish the yearly 'Accelerated Reader' points requirement and read some of the nonfiction that nobody had written tests for, and were thus worth zero points. Now that I'm taking college English to replace my high school composition classes, I am unrestricted. In my free time I hang out in the history section of the school library and pull books off the shelves to read until I run out of books on a topic.

I can name every Pokemon of the first 4 generations of Pokemon, its type effectiveness, weaknesses, strengths, notable moves, and for most, base stats. I EV train my Pokemon because I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was. I don't play it much anymore, but I've won quite a few local tournaments with my ridiculously awesome teams.

I spent 300+ hours this past summer using Knowledge Master, a program containing 200,000+ questions, to try and learn everything about everything. Last year I co-captained the state champion knowledge bowl team. With all the studying I've done, I'm now a match for the entire rest of my team during practice. This year we're going to the regional invitational that usually draws schools ten times our size, and I think we have a good shot at winning.

During Science Olympiad last year, a few friends and I decided we'd try to cover every single event at the last minute. I got signed up for Dynamic Planet, an event that takes the form of a test and a few labs about a random Earth Science category. Participants were supposed to bring a partner to help with the labs, up to two reference textbooks, a graphing calculator, and if desired, a not-internet-connected laptop to bring notes and other references on. I had to sprint across the entire campus of the college we were at after Ornithology, and only just made it in the door before they locked it up. My partner didn't show and all I had was paper. I had to borrow a pencil. Using the magic of Calculus, I did all the things. It turns out that the topic was limnology (freshwater studies), which I has studied the week before as a self-assigned Knowledge Goal. (I made that up. It rhymes with Knowledge Bowl. Heh.) I won, much to my surprise.

I am a player in two this-forum-based Dungeons and Dragons games, the dungeon master of the game I play in real life, and a future participant in a Pokemon Tabletop Adventures game. I'm also heading a project on a D&D optimization board to make the most invincible fighter possible without using infinite loops, with the goal of beating any wizardly counter. I'm winning.

Also I am the most modest person who has ever lived.

[Max White]

I'm a fucking programmer. That is like the alpha predator of nerds.
Your nerdiness doesn't even compare! ZARK!

[ein]

What about engineers?

[Max White]

Programmer is a subtype of engineer, we inherit their nerdiness.

[Heron TSG]

Eh, I guess I'm learning C++ right now, but so far I'm pretty bad at it.

This I have to see. I promise, I won't tell my own D&D optimization board, or even make inane comments on yours about it!

I've spent most of my life studying.

I'll be sure to let you know when it's finished. At the moment I haven't even focused on damage output yet. Right now, without using any magic at all, it is immune to...

Fire
Frost
Shock
Negative Energy
Positive Energy
Necromantic Effects
Acid
Sonic
Prismatic Effects(like prismatic wall, etc.)
Poison
Nausea
Stunning
Blindness
Aging
Nonlethal Damage
Critical Hits
Falling Damage
Mind-Effecting Effects
Ability Damage
Ability Drain
All Spells Under 5th Level

...And a couple others that I'm probably forgetting right now. It's also able to replace any save with a concentration check that it can always take 20 on, though it doesn't guarantee an autosuccess. It's still far easier to boost Concentration than three separate saves. I'm trying to find as many things as I can to link to this skill.

I'll probably add in some magic-based stuff, but right now it is all about having protection that will function whether there's antimagic about, my equipment gets disjoined, or other such silly things. Also, it can fly without magic, so that's neato.

[jc6036]

Wait! I'm a programmer too! In fact, it's going to be the major focus of my future careers! All hail programmers, for we are the alpha nerds!

[mainiac]

I have derailed 400 level college math classes by managing to turn a single question into a tangent that lasted for up to an hour.

[Ultimuh]

I found out that at least 2 to 3 weeks of my life have been spent sitting on my butt playing video games.

What, no more? 

Didn't mean to be rude tough, it just that I spend A LOT of my own free time to play games.
