You know what? I think it's healthy to have some NERD interests....things to get excited about! And quote extensively! Or play thoroughly! Or be straight up expert on!
So yes. I am blogging about my nerd interests.
For example, we all grew up with something, movies, video games etc that may have changed our lives right? For me, this was Star Wars.
I love it! And don't start me quoting it, because I WILL know more than you wish to know! Star Wars Trivia? My forte. This is about the extent of my nerd interest on this one....My family made Bennett Star Wars. We made our own, homemade versions of the movies. They're hilarious...to me, and I consider them a vital part of my childhood. Love it.
Next? Well ZELDA of course! It's because of this franchise that I consider(ed) myself a gamer. I love them! I've played every Zelda game that I possibly could, including all the old ones. They helped me explore my imagination, and stretch my problem solving skills. My nerd extent? I've played Ocarina of Time without using half the items, and doing dungeons in odd orders, with three hearts. (I apologize for anyone that didn't understand that.) Also, I have two Zelda shirts...a poster...piano music...soundtracks...art and so forth.
There are SO many Nerd interests out there for me! But I'm just going to have to pick a select few.
Quick blurb on Robin Hood! (BBC) What an incredible series! I'm convinced they changed my life. Extent of my nerd interest? I basically watched all 3 seasons in four days! I definitely recommend them. (And Richard Armitage, my favorite actor, plays Guy of Gisborne!) My friend randomly called me, basically thanking me for mentioning them to him, because despite his incoming finals, he could not stop
watching them until they were done!
And FINALLY Lord of the Rings. AND upcoming The Hobbit! The books are incredible. The movies are phenomenal. (I've watched all the extended versions...and all 10+ hours of special features on them.) And The Hobbit is going to be GREAT. Ask me any question and I'll know. Extent of my nerd interest? I follow Peter Jackson's facebook page, (It's the first thing that pops up when I type in a "P" in the facebook searchbar) and he does production blog video's which are amazing! (Not to mention my favorite actor...Richard Armitage...is playing the lead Dwarf.)
Anyway. Sorry for the ridiculous lengthiness of this blog.
It just got me extraordinarily excited about my nerd interests.




I enjoy those things too! I really don't think they are that nerdy, just honest. Those are the coolest things, and if you are to prideful to admit it then you are missing out.
ReplyDeleteHahaha I agree!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! My roommates and I quote Star Wars in our everyday conversations. It's kind of like a game to see who can make the most clever applications of classic lines. Ocarina of Time - EPIC! Best game ever! This was so funny! I never would have know that you these "nerd things" are dear to your heart. May the force be with you!
