Der Nerdery

OK, so not only do I think that most “gamers” stereotypically smell bad, I expect them too, hence the term “stereotype.” If they weren’t true, we wouldn’t have stereotypes.

BUT!!!

The Game Trader at the Cedar Hills Crossing Shopping Center in Beaverton, Oregon is taking this to a whole new level of stink. Being new to Oregon, and as a gamer desperately trying to find a NON-Game Stop game store, I discovered this little nugget of olfactory sense abuse. When first entering the mall, logically I thought we were smelling the horrible collaboration of smells coming from the food court. Yet… strangely as we walk farther and farther away from the food court, and ever closer and closer to The Game Trader, it got worse… A LOT worse. I haven’t ever had the displeasure of gaming with a raunchy smelling female gamer, but I now know they do exist. Now, standing in front of the store, with my t-shirt pulled over my nose, secretly praying to Jesus that they carry a used copy of Red Dead Redemption. All awhile trying to comfort my pregnant wife that her urge to vomit isn’t from our future nerdy son in her belly, but emanating from the men and women perusing the facility with no apparent realization of the stench bellowing forth from them like flames from satan’s mouth.

Our adventure ends here because I refuse to be a patron of a store that smells like they use an air freshener made out of a dead fish that has a yeast infection.

P.S. I have yet to purchase Red Dead Redemption.

Nerd Girl & daMaster: Together FOREVER

On September 25, 2010, I got to married the love of my life. Here is a quick overview of that day. At the crack of dawn (9:00 am), I awoke to start my day after a long fun night of partying at my bachelorette party. No, I will not go into details about that. OK, so I woke up and headed to my beauty shop armed with a picture of how I wanted my hair to look.

I wanted my hair in a parcel up hair do with renaissance braiding and curled on the bottom. As you can imagine, the beautician tried her best not to let it show but she was completely lost as how to proceed, since she had never tried renaissance braiding before. Of course… I had to make it difficult and have cording crisscrossing through the braiding to make a design. She gallantly tackled my hair and called for help when she became stuck. With the two beauticians working together they were able to work out what to do with my hair and it turned out beautifully. With my hair up and out of the way, my chaffer (thanks Kaytie) and I went on to the location I was to get married that day.

When we arrived there was a few last minute things to take care of like setting out glasses and straiting things. Then my rouge showed up (my fiancé ) and I was confined to the bathroom/changing room. We went traditional and he was not allowed to see me on the day of the wedding until I was walking down the isle. The groomsmen arrived and changed into their outfits. They were pirates with black vests, pants, belts and white puffy shirts. The ring bearer was also a pirate (An adorable two year old pirate). He was so cute. The ushers were the three musketeers, with an addition of one of the fathers dressing up to make the third musketeer.

The bridesmaids have arrived at this point and they joined me in the bathroom. We had our own makeup artist, Kaytie, and a braider, Olivia. They did any faces or hair that needed to be done and they did a great job. Thanks you two! Then the girls started to get ready they were pirate wenches in a black over skirts and bodice the under dress was  maroon the flower girl wore the same color but a different dress with black under and maroon over that.

Then it was my turn to put my dress on I wore a renaissance style wedding dress with a long train with black lace. I think it took three people to get me in that dress. I am not positive I was tangled in the dress at the time. I know two had to hold it and one to make sure my hair didn’t get messed up. I had a tiara on and a broach that has been in the grooms family for generations it went with the renaissance era perfectly. The veil was a cloak made from satin inside mole skin outside and trimmed in white fox fir. I felt like a princess in the dress, and the ring bearer agreed. He even called me, “Princess Adessa” and when I blew him kisses he giggled and hid his face.

Now on to the good part. The wedding itself. We are ready to start when we realize that my father is not here yet time to stress!!! Luckily we only had to wait about ten minutes but I was not going down that isle with out my father. He drove across the country to be here and I was going to wait. Once my Dad finally arrived the groomsmen attacked him in order to dress him. (Thanks guys!) Now that he is ready and dressed as a bartender.  The music starts and everyone moved into action and into position, perfectly. Then it’s my turn. I’m shaking in my high heals terrified that I will trip and fall or worse yet… cry. I made it with out any problems. Thank goodness! The rest of the wedding is pretty traditional with the exception of a sand ceremony instead of the traditional unity candle.  Everyone had a great time!

We also had a sorcerer, sorceress, Cleopatra and others that dressed in renaissance clothing. There was much feasting and dancing afterwards. Thanks to all that came and helped us celebrate our own Happy Everafter.

The reason all the Rum is gone!

nerdy rating 7/10
I recently used Craigslist to post some things that I had for sale and other things for free, I found the site slightly confusing with all their different categories it was overwhelming for me. They only let you post your add in one town so if you live in the middle of two big towns like I do you will have to pick only one or do the add twice. Let’s face it nerds don’t have time for that when your Guildies are waiting on you for that big raid.

The up side to the site is that it is a free service and things do sell on it relativity quickly. I have a friend that sold a truck in a hour and my brother sells things on there all the time. They have nothing but good things to say about the site. The other issue I had with it was all the spam E-mail I received from the site it was allot at the least 1 a day with 3 being the most. They said on the site that you would not receive spam form the adds but I guess they have not fixed that yet.

Craigslist over all though was usable and is a good place to sell your extra Items to buy that next game or to sell that slightly used game that you beat too fast. In closing I would recommend using the site. Just beware of the spam and loose woman….

nerdy onesies 8/10

I was searching the net for the newest nerd in our family, my nephew and I found some things I just had to share.These onesies are just so cute and nerdy I had to share them. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did  No I did not buy any while extremity nerdy they were very expensive. I guess you have to pay to be a fashionable nerd.

A Ninja beanie you know all baby’s are just little ninjas in hiding, don’t believe me?  Just put a cookie just out of reach and see those ninja reflexes in action.

For all you fathers out there unsure how to go about changing diapers here is one for you.

What nerdy baby or man can resist a good set of boobies so why not advertise that your little one is hungry ?

With all the I stuff out there why not let your little nerd advertise that he just peed?

For the unsuspected little nerdy bundle of joy why not let them relish in there surprise with a bazinga  onesie or to just celebrate the awesomeness of Big Bang Theory.

let your baby advertise that he/she is new to this world and may need some special help from us more experienced players.

Who doesn’t want to be a dungeon master?

warn people of the radioactive ability’s of your little one

I hope you enjoyed the selection I found. There are many more out there you just have to look and enjoy oh, and have lots of extra money.

Fast food. Why wouldn’t a nerd turn to this quick service business? It’s cheap. It’s fast. It’s easy. And a delicious burger and fries combination is great when you’re up all night reading or running a dungeon with the guildies. So today, I’m sharing with you my top five favorite fast food restaurants.

Number Five: Although it doesn’t describe the slow service I’ve received, Sonic offers some pretty tasty meal options and a HUGE variety of drinks. My favorite combination: Supersonic Cheeseburger, Tater Tots (the fries are disgusting), and a Sonic classic Cherry Limeade.

Number Four: Want a meal fit for a King? Go to Burger King and get one of the best burgers you’ll ever find: the Whopper. Mix that with the best French Fries I’ve ever tasted and an awesome fountain drink, you’ve got my regular BK meal.

Number Three: Holy crap, what an amazing amount of bread, meat, and veggies! Subway allows the customer to create their perfect submarine sandwich. I honestly think the best part of this fast food place is the fact that I can see everything that’s going on, so the employee would have to be The Flash to spit in my sandwich. Good to know. The best is a tie: A Marinara Meatball Sub with American and Parmesan Cheese, Tomatoes and Black Olives on Wheat Bread, Toasted or Not. OR Italian BMT, Double Meat, on Italian Herbs and Cheese, with American and Parmesan Cheese, Lettuce, Pickles, Black Olives, Banana Peppers, Red Onions, and Tomatoes with a whole lotta Mayo, Not Toasted (but beware the worst acid reflux you’ll ever experience)

Number Two: It’s cheap. It’s quick. It’s incredibly fatty and delectable. Taco Bell involves beef, tortilla, and nacho cheese. What more could you ask for when dining in the fast lane? My favorite meal: the number nine. The cheesy Crunchwrap Supreme, Supreme Soft Taco, and cool Baja Blast, only available at Taco Bell.

Number One: Let’s face it. When someone mentions fast food, chances are the first one you think of is McDonalds. Specializing in burgers and fries, McDonalds is good if you’re eating on a dime. My favorite meal: the number three. The delicious Quarter Pounder with Cheese, classic French Fries, and nice, cold Dr. Pepper. My kind of meal.

So, tell me. What are you favorites?
