When it comes to cultural references, history, blah blah... I'm all over the place. I can pretty much guarantee you that I know more random crap than most people my age. Simply because it fits no mold. After 3rd grade, I was taken out of school. I taught myself. But, all that is a very long story.

Suffice to say, I'm nerdy without even trying. My background pretty much covers it.

Edit: Doesn't help that both my dad and husband are computer programmers.
