I&#8217;m quite likely more nerdy than you think I am!<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I&#8217;ve actually asked someone to marry me and then watched as she went off and married someone else!<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I&#8217;ve kissed another guy, albeit only on a dare. (And no we weren&#8217;t drunk. Or at least, not drunk enough!)<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;When I was a kid, I&#8217;d lie in bed thinking of what it would be like to be dead and buried and have maggots crawling through my body.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I&#8217;m mostly <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.reference.com\/search?q=egotistical\">egotistical<\/a>, but sometimes <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.reference.com\/search?q=egoistical\">egoistical<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I cannot play chess to save my life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;My parents didn&#8217;t get cable TV until 2004 and I don&#8217;t live with them anyway. So I grew up with the only option being Doordarshan. I&#8217;ve never watched much TV in my life and I&#8217;m still not tempted to.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I used to spend huge amounts of time online and the only reason I don&#8217;t anymore is that I can&#8217;t afford broadband in India!<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;the longest conversation I&#8217;ve had with someone lasted almost 6 hours. (Yes, I&#8217;ve seen <a href=\"http:\/\/absolutegeeky.com\/oook\/2005\/03\/of-sunrises-and-sunsets\">Before Sunrise and Before Sunset<\/a> too)<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;If it wasn&#8217;t apparently already, I like to talk, but I&#8217;m also a good listener.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I&#8217;ve only ever tried marijuana. Three times. It didn&#8217;t work even once. Damn!<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I never had a nickname in school or college. I made one up for myself. It didn&#8217;t catch on. Don&#8217;t ask.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I think Terry Pratchett is one of the coolest writers alive. No wait, Neil Gaiman is&#8230; um, maybe Iain M Banks, well Douglas Adams is certainly the coolest writer dead, but that sounds morbid. Oh well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I love my parents to bits, but most times I get bored talking to them, so I really envy the people who can.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I can&#8217;t balance a two-wheeler.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I fooled you about the &#8220;juicy&#8221; bits at the end.
