Occasionally the conversation about "nerd culture" will be thrown around in my general circle; yet I've never actually asked what kind of nerdy stuff people are into. At this point in our culture there are so many flavors of nerd: movie nerd, comics nerd, kdrama nerd, art nerd, even sports nerd (and this is nerd used affectionately btw; we love people's interest in this house).

What kind of nerd are you? For an added bonus what's a random fact tied to your specific school of nerd? Do you know the names of every member of the Inhumans (Marvel)? Do you know the lineup for the 2004 Carolina Panthers? Can you name the manufacturer and designer of your favorite model of plane? I want to know.

For me, and this is a light one I can pull from the top of my head, I know the principles of nen from Hunter X Hunter as well as the process for finding your nen. Just some thought spaghetti to get your morning going!

I was mulling over this a bit, but it seems like this is a good place to put out personals. Lately I've been a bit bummed out at the lack of avenues to socialize in Birmingham (at least that I've researched); MeetUp is plagued with seminars and scams, "friend" options on dating apps are like "why are you there" and I'm a bit too shy when it comes to imposing on folks personal space.

So I'm throwing up a personal to search for potential buddies (ages 21- OLD) to plan an outing with and/or general social stuff. I work within the downtown area and am close to a number of venues (my job is down the road from UpDown), but I'm not opposed to doing some exploring. I'm a nerdy guy who likes to thrift and hunt for comics/books, I frequent the movies (Homewood) and various comic shops (go Sasquatch); I would also love to study new activities since I've been researching events in the Birmingham Area.

And if you're not comfortable with meeting IRL, I'm not opposed to just being on a digital basis~! Shoot a message if you're interested, and if not I'll be happy you bothered to look~
