Sign in to disble this ad
As I'm working on a bass restoration my wife walks in and informs me that I am a nerd.
Me: Why
Wife: Because you are taking pictures of everything you are doing to that bass!
Me: Yes, other people like to see the progress of the work.
Wife: Yeah, other nerds!
This happens as she is taking a break from playing our daughter's Animal Crossing City Folk on the Wii.
I think she is the bigger nerd!

|  | Bartle doo? | | Join Date: Jun 2010 Location: Missing Mountains | | | My wife and I share in the "Nerd" accusations all the time. She's a lab scientist, I'm a helicopter mechanic. She reads books on Queens and Kings of ancient times; I play computer games and the bass. She gets excited when something gross is on the Health channel or extreme home makeover is on. I get excited when a new pedal shows up in the mail.
It's a healthy part of marriage to find nerdy quirks about the spouse and to pick on them about it. I kinda like the attention... Means she is paying attention to what I'm doing and cares enough to comment on it. I take it as a playful gesture.

I was once a pen and paper gamer geek, then went to table top miniatures geekitude, and I've since moved on to MMO gamer nerdiness.
I can quote just about any line from any of the Star Wars movies.
I watch the second DVD (the behind the scenes ones)
I can quote model numbers and specs to a lot of music gear.
Oh and I have no life, no wife, and no band (yet I keep buying gear?)
I win! or is that lose?

My wife is knitting me a cozy for my iPod so it won't get cold when I go on winter walks and is re-reading "Death in Early America". I play bass and am digitizing my vinyl collection. Right now I am doing my Esquivel & Three Suns records.
The pronouncement of "nerd" is a term of endearment and compliment in our house.
Also, I make my living as a child and adolescent psychotherapist and I deal with any number of oppositional kids. Most of older ones will try and piss me off because they don't want to be there. Many of them will call me a nerd and I will thank them for the compliment. It confuses the hell out of them and throws them off-balance enough that I can often connect with them and get some work done!
I hope I am never called "normal" by anyone, it would crush me! 
LEL
BTW, my wife and I play in a band and are writing a song in praise of the nerd life!

Nope...your wife's definitely the bigger nerd. Lots of people make photographic chronicles of their projects. That's not too different than a home improvement or cooking show on TV.
Playing Animal Crossing...well...

Just so everyone is on the same page here is a picture of an actual bass nerd:
