I am a Computer Nerd!  Check out my score from the nerd quiz!  You can click on it to see how much of a nerd you are!

I guess I have always been a nerd.  There was my 7th grade to 9th grade obsession with Star Trek the Next Generation!  I became a true 'Trekkie” when me and my friends got dropped off at a convention center in Detroit for a STAR TREK Convention.  (I had to pay $20 of my babysitting money!!) Let me just tell you it was amazing!  No, I didn't dress up as a Vulcan (I only wish) ha!  But there were booths and all the Star Trek junk you could want.  I even waited in line for 3 hours to get a signature from Mirina Sirtis (Counselor Troi) and Nichelle Nichols (Lieutenant Uhura).  I even have a picture of me, my sister, and my friends with Counselor Troi!!  Ha!

Other than Star Trek, my next biggest obsession is The Simpsons.  They were on at 10:00 PM and Star Trek was on at 11:00 PM.  I figured out how to program my parents VCR in their room.  Every night the VCR would record Simpsons.  I then would have to switch the VHS at 10:30 so that I could record Star Trek.  When I got engaged, I had to clean out my college apartment.  My husband was taken aback that I had over 100 episodes of Stark Trek and Simpons taped on VHS.  HA!!

I was still a pretty big nerd in high school.  In Calculus, out teacher told us that whoever had the best Halloween costume could get extra credit.  I helped plan a 'group' costume.  We formed a human pyramid to resemble Pascal’s Triangle and we all got extra credit.  I made a scrapbook in High School and I now have a scrapbook page for each of my AP classes.  I even scanned one of the pages and made it into a mouse pad for my Chemistry teacher.

Even though I was a big nerd, I had a lot of friends.  I guess my high school was breeding ground for nerds like me!  I was voted Homecoming Princess and Homecoming Queen (Revenge of the Nerds Part I & II).  I was voted “Class Clown” and “Most Respected.”  Quite the combination!  Ha!

I wasn't much of a computer nerd until College.  I decided to major in Information Systems on a whim.  (I didn't even know how to 'right click' at that point!).  But soon I realized I had a knack for computers.  Even more so, I got along REALLY well with my fellow computer nerds.  They were obsessed with Star Trek and Simpsons as much as I was.  I worked at a data center and I was so excited that they had named the servers after Simpson and Star Trek characters.  ha!!  I was still single in College and my dad asked me if I had met anyone in my classes, where I was the token girl in a sea of guys.  I told my dad, “The odds are good, but the GOODS are ODD.” Ha!

Even this year, I was at a college football game.  I was watching the marching band at half time.  I was excited that they were playing the Star Trek theme song.  Then, I realized that they made a formation to resemble the Enterprise!!  It was amazing!  I told my husband and he told me I was probably the only one in the stadium that noticed and appreciated it!

So I was thinking about this new site of mine.  I was thinking that this site is helping me get in touch with my inner nerd.

Hopefully I can help teach people and help them realize that we all can be a little more nerdy
