ROFL XD :lol:

Hmmm....

The nerdiest thing I've ever done was have my friends (at the metro station) give me a bunch of math problems and have me solve them in about 4 seconds via mental math. And we shouted it, too >.< so everyone could hear.

Also, I play this "Nerd game" called Cybernations in my free time. Anyone else here play? What's your ruler? NS? How much infra? >.> :P

I have a shirt that says "be nerdy" in chemical symbols (not a science olympiad shirt)

Probably go to the "Distant Worlds" Final Fantasy concert. Freaking awesome. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see Jonathan Colton (who was just in my city).

Also, I gave my friend a bunch of chemistry related valentines--you can almost imagine how awesome *coughlamecough* those were.

Making "electron/neutron/positive" jokes
Singing a Quadratic Formula song
Having races with my friends in reciting the quadratic formula
Making fake pedigrees to practice and for fun
Stating that the highlight of my life so far is Science O
Identifying muscles randomly
Making geology jokes
Naming a model Dunkleosteus "Frederick"
2009- Regionals: 3rd in Fossils
2010- Regionals: 2nd in Fossils, 4th in Dynamic Planet, States: 3rd in Fossils, 4th in Dynamic Planet
