Line #95 Tropers/Mamanerd


1	[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOntheTin I am, indeed, both a mama and a nerd.]]
2
3	I'm Victoria or Vicki, 24 years old, living in New Hampshire and currently a retail drone at the local Target. I'm married to a [[GentleGiant literally HUGE]] [[{{Fanboy}} nerd]] named Gary, and together we have a four-year-old Nerdling named Nicholas. (Gary is OneOfUs now; there are some who call him... [[strike:[[MontyPython Tim]]]] er, {{@/Lord_Fenric}}. Our assimilation is nearly complete.)
4
5	I was a military brat growing up, and then tried joining the Army- that didn't work out as planned, and there was a good year where I worked odd jobs and then quite cheerfully went crazy. Turned out I had bipolar disorder, compounded by some [[DarkandTroubledPast past]] [[PervertDad demons]] I had never addressed [[CallingtheOldManOut until that point]]... so the moral of my story is [[AndKnowingIsHalftheBattle get therapy if you need it, kiddos.]] [[BrilliantButLazy Anyway, I can't decide on a college major]] but [[HesBack do hope to go back]] early next year... currently leaning towards education; we'll see.

19	** Also making NerdsAreVirgins an AvertedTrope. (Yay!)

80	I'm not huge on VideoGames, but I have played a few and thoroughly enjoy TeamFortress2, {{Halo}}, {{Portal}}, and [[Left4Dead Left 4 Dead (Both 1 and 2)]], so they should be mentioned here too. (Oh, and DestroyAllHumans is very stress-relieving after a long day of customer service, [[LaughingMad hahahahaha...]])
81
82	I've only been a proper {{Anime}} fan for a little over a month (as of 8/3/10), but have done some serious ArchiveBinge during this time. Thus, I feel it warrants two lists:
83
84	'''Anime/Manga'''
85
86	Long story short, ThisVeryWiki got me addicted. My former messy list has now been replaced with a sleek, fashionable My Anime List, viewable [[http://myanimelist.net/animelist/mamanerd here.]] I will happily take any and all suggestions for anime/manga to watch/read... [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife Educate me, fellow tropers!]]
87
88	!! Please leave graffiti after the tone. '''* BEEP* '''
89	* Hmph. Stupid graffiti wall. I am '''not''' vandalizing you b-because I like you or anything. * blush* S-so don't get the wrong idea. Got that? -- @/{{jcruz}}
90	** (Puts on George Takei impression) OOOH, MY... ;)
91	* It's refreshing to see someone admit that they're a nerd. Some people are ashamed of it, but you wear it as a badge of pride. Good job, @/{{Mamanerd}}. ~ @/AlirozTheConfused.
92	** Thanks! This is awesome to hear, I feel like I'm part of the Nerd Liberation Front... I still catch myself using "nerd" disparagingly, especially at work, so this is a nice self-esteem boost. :D
93	*** (The N.L.F. really needs to exist, come to think of it... it should have branches in every high school. Joss Whedon will write the curriculum for the tolerance classes; and there will be bake sales,[[{{Portal}} where there will be cake.]] That is all.)
94	* Why, hello there, dear. My, what an interesting trope page you have here...I guess I shall have to come and CONQUER IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! MWAHAHAHAHA...ooh, wait, realized that your husband conquering your page may have some UnfortunateImplications, IfYouKnowWhatIMean...Ah well, whatever, love you, leave you to your troping...{{@/Lord_Fenric}} :)
95	** Is it getting hot on this contributor page, or is it just me? ;) Love ya too!
96	* Way cool profile, mamanerd. --@/{{Morven}}
