I am currently in the process of maybe, possibly, could happen to be, in just a little while longer, be engaged to the most beautiful woman of all time. What I’m trying to figure out is how I got to this point. I’m going to list the reasons why I was going to be the second or third to last person to get married out of my group of friends. Ironically I can do no better than second. Please see my nerd proclamation below:

you left out one thing that defines, nay exacerbates your nerdiness. you have a blog.
yes but do certain fonts anger you, or more to the point can you name the fonts / type on signs as you drive down the road?
When you make a mistake in real life does your left hand automatically do "ctrl+z" or "command+z" respectively?
Ah nevermind, it's good to know there actually can be cool geeks and I've got something to achieve.
Ctrl+z thru ctrl+v are a must. I was actually looking for it on my blackBerry the other day. Mike... we are as one.
"What's exacerbate mean?"
"To make worse."
"Oh...."
This is your other, long lost cousin, haven't seen you since my own wedding almost 3 years ago. Congratulations though and long live the nerds!
