I have lots of reasons I'm a nerd.

1. I spend far too much time thinking about people who don't exist and trying to determine what actions they would take in any given situation.

2. Upon finding out that many of my co-workers also spend far too much time in the above pursuit, and that there are a great many of us who enjoy D&D, I grew very excited indeed.

3. I have a tendency to use sesquipedalian words that almost nobody around me understands.

4. I'm on the Shard. What more is there to say?
