- "I heard on NPR this morning." One of my favorite phrases. I hear it all the time. As for me, my car radio is literally stuck on NPR right now so I'm hopeless till my radio decides to change its mind.
- The dictionary game...a big hit lately. Comments after include "I love this game, it is so educational.", "I love that you learn something while you play." (One person picks a word out of a dictionary and the others try to win at figuring out what the word is. Endless hours of free entertainment...and my friends have great vocabularies...and even if they make words up, most of the rest of us wouldn't know the difference.)
- We swap library stories.
- A quote after she looked at my friend's high school yearbook. "How were my glasses?" "Big." Another friend admits, "Mine were bigger."
- No one in the room has less than a master's degree.
- Most of my friends are avid fans of This American Life.
- At a recent party, there were people in the basement watching Star Trek. (To my knowledge, however, no one speaks Klingon.)
- T-shirts with binary on them...worn to social gatherings...
- We love Planet Earth and genuinely enjoy watching it on a Friday night.
- Most of my friends, myself included, own loads of bookshelves laden with books.
- My school friends rock at trivia.
- Yesterday Hael e-mailed because he was looking for this.
- Recently this song was introduced to me by two med-school friends. It made me laugh.

I have to laugh because I so relate. Can I add one Nerd moment though? When you're boyfriend's roomate comments to another friend that the two of you will get married because you "like the same stuff, but not normal same stuff, documentaries and weird same stuff."
I love it. I hope I marry someone who is into "weird stuff".
Part of speech: verb. Definition: to attack with claws with the intention of drawing blood; esp. on the top of the head. See also: claw, scratch, pierce.
