White & Nerdy
Sun, 01 Oct 06

Well, I was thinking about Weird Al's new song, "White & Nerdy" (which you can listen to for free by visiting his MySpace page. And an alarming number of lines from it actually apply to me (or to Andrew; between the two of us, almost ALL of them apply, eek).

Here are the lines that made me go, "Hmmm":

Got skills, I'm a champion at D&D [AD&D actually, but close enough]
MC Escher, that's my favorite MC
Keep your 40, I'll just have an Earl Grey tea
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I could sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong (okay, not ping pong, but air hockey for sure!)
My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shoppin' online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized "Holy Grail" really well
I got a business doin' web sites
When my friends need some code, who do they call?
I do HTML for 'em all
Even made a home page for my dog [my cat, but same sentiment]
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap [all those online purchases!]
Pop pop, hope no one sees me... gettin' freaky
I'm nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour cream
I was in A/V Club and Glee Club and even the chess team [speech team and thespian club, really]

Look at me, I'm white & nerdy

Yeah. So everyone's really shocked, I'm sure. Bonni's a nerd! Who would have thought?! Actually, I'm more of a geek, but when younger, uh, yeah, definitely fit the "nerd" profile...

[EDIT] I'm SO nerdy that I came back to edit this entry. Woohoo.

First, read the Wikipedia entry (go on, it's extremely amusing; I'd bet almost any amount of money that Weird Al himself contributed to it).

Now... watch the video, and be sure to keep your eye out for Donny Osmond and Seth Green...
