I'm a dork
Well, squara tagged me as a dork, so here are the rules:
List 5 reasons why you are a dork. And make them good reasons.
Justify them. Explain them. Be loud and proud about how big of a dork
you are! Then pick the 5 biggest dorks you know and have them do the meme.
1. I named one of my cats Otis, but then I started watching CSI and noticed that Otis and CODIS kind of sound the same, so now I just call him CODIS all the time. I don't think he minds, but the dorkiest part is when I ask him why he's just laying there instead of processing DNA.
2. I can't just be casually interested in something, apparently. I obsess. It started out with video games, where I spent more time online reading and talking about them than I spent actually playing them. Then it movied on to Harry Potter, but that's died down because I got tired of reading the same theories a million times. Now I've moved on to CSI. It wasn't enough that I caught up on all four seasons I missed (plus the one that was currently playing) in just a couple of months, now I'm an avid Nick/Greg shipper/slasher and spend way too much time writing, reading, and talking about them.
3. I'm a huge slacker when it comes to school work but somehow I still manage to get really good grades. I'll wait until the day before they're due to start papers and essays. I don't even really bother studying for tests. I'll skim over the material once or twice, but I don't do much more than that. I know it's goig to come back to bite me in the ass one of these days, but until that happens, I don't see myself changing my ways.
4. I don't have a problem with lj tags or any other simple html code. I took a class in like seventh grade and still remember most of it even though I haven't actually designed web pages in a long, long time. The biggest problem I had with lj when I first started using it was that the rich text editor was wonky, so now I just use the regular text editor and code everything by hand. And I like it.
5. I like to get free stuff even if I have absolutely no use for it. A while back, Nintendo was running this weird promotion where they were giving out free store dummy (I can't spell the m word... mannequin or something) hands. I got one, not because I wanted to participate in the promotion (you were supposed to take pictures of the hand in different poses or something) but just because I wanted the hand. I mean, how many people have one of those laying around the house? I do!
I think everyone on my friends list has already been tagged for this, but if you're reading it and haven't been, consider yourself tagged.
