If anyone think's they're exaggerating, they're not. He literally would not stop playing with this large box of (incredibly gross) bones.

He also draws random mathematical triangle thingys.... ;)

You know you're a nerd when you see "lol" as "the absolute value of zero"... :(

you spend your free time (which in my case is less than an hour a day) studying random information and looking up cool random facts.

you complain about your class rank dropping to 9, (which occurred simply because I was getting rid of all my required courses early.)

you have an essay on the SAT that includes references to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, as well as implied scioly references.

And then you take the AP Lang and Comp test, make another scioly, Harry Potter, LOTR, and Inheritance cycle, plus an accidental preamble to the Constitution reference.

...you distract yourself from homework by researching Panarthropod phylogeny and Cambrian fossils of dinocaridids and siberiids.
...you read "On the Origin of Species" for fun.
...you made yourself memorize all thirty animal phyla (there may be more or less depending on how you choose to classify things) for fun.
...you give more complicated answers than you need to in bio class.
...you cringe every time a science teacher uses outdated terms like "Monera" or "Protista."

When, while at your lunch table discussing future plans, and you say you want to be a software engineer, one of your friends says "A software engineer for the computer in your brain" lol
