Welcome, Fellow Gnerds!

A gnerd [pronounced, "NER-dh"] is a noun.
It is used to name someone who both reads Asimov and can fix a computer virus.

We know every line from Dr. Horrible and the subplots
and backplots of Who.

We lurk around bookshelves.

We listen to Josh Groban and Chameleon Circuit.

We are every Judith, Max and Russell.


We congregate conventions.

We are the next generation.

Top Ten Sexy Accents

[In no particular order because, lets be honest, they're all just as equally redeeming and sexy in their own ways.]

10. Argentinean
9. Enunciation [aka speaking Crosby, Sinatra, Dean, Brando, Connery] -OR- Lisp [Jake Gyllenhaal.]
8. Italian
7. Irish
6. Australian [no, thank you Heath Ledger, Keith Urban, Eric Bana and Jackman.]
5. Welsh
4 Flemish [DO NOT KNOCK IT TIL YOU'VE HEARD IT!]
3. Russian
2. Scottish [aaaaaaaaaand thats a rap Mr. Tennant. Thank you, you gorgeous hunk of Who, you.]
1. British [All Of Them. Every. Single. One.]


WHAT I LEARNED TODAY:
    Roald Dahl could speak English, Norwegian and Swahili. He had to learn it for his work in Africa (for Shell in 1930). This of course means that I will now be learning the fantastical language of Swahili. Hi-ho, college tutoring!!
