I am, indeed, both a mama and a nerd.
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
literally HUGE nerd named Gary, and together we have a four-year-old Nerdling named Nicholas. (Gary is
One of Us now; there are some who call him...
Tim er,
Lord_Fenric. Our assimilation is nearly complete.)
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
past demons I had never addressed
until that point... so the moral of my story is
get therapy if you need it, kiddos. Anyway, I can't decide on a college major but
do hope to go back early next year... currently leaning towards education; we'll see.
Okay, enough of the serious stuff. Trope time!
MAMANERD'S TROPES
MAMANERD'S FANDOM GOODNESS
General
To Be Read/Watched- General
I'm not huge on
Video Games, but I have played a few and thoroughly enjoy
Team Fortress 2,
Halo,
Portal, and
Left 4 Dead (Both 1 and 2), so they should be mentioned here too. (Oh, and
Destroy All Humans! is very stress-relieving after a long day of customer service,
hahahahaha...)
I've only been a proper
Anime fan for a little over a month (as of 8/3/10), but have done some serious
Archive Binge during this time. Thus, I feel it warrants two lists:
Anime/Manga
Long story short,
This Very Wiki got me addicted. My former messy list has now been replaced with a sleek, fashionable My Anime List, viewable
here.
I will happily take any and all suggestions for anime/manga to watch/read...
Educate me, fellow tropers!
Please leave graffiti after the tone. * BEEP*
- 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
- (Puts on George Takei impression) OOOH, MY... ;)
- 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. ~ Aliroz The Confused.
- 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
- (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,where there will be cake. That is all.)
- 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 Unfortunate Implications, Lampshaded Double Entendre...Ah well, whatever, love you, leave you to your troping...Lord_Fenric :)
- Is it getting hot on this contributor page, or is it just me? ;) Love ya too!
- Way cool profile, mamanerd. —Morven
- I recommend the Useful Notes. You'll be educated and at the same time read silliness! (How do we do it? I have no idea...) - Amused Troper Guy
