Seriously, geeked out over it in a text discussion with my sister (who lives in California).</p> <p>Sis: Not dead yet. Just reinvented.<br /> Me: Just regenerated, you mean. Get it right :) (Doctor Who reference)<br /> Sis: Phoenix reference ;)<br /> Me: Eh. I guess that wins if we're taking into account the age of the reference - myth vs sci-fi. But if we take into account the fact that Doctor Who is a Time Lord, he could have been reason the phoenix reference was made to begin with. The light from his regeneration cycle considered a flame and from the ashes of the old stepped a new man.<br /> Sis: Oh gad, get a hobby XD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about/page/2#post-518648 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 22:20:26 +0000 Happygal 518648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SpanielLove: It's horrific what has happened to German Shepherds. I get asked what kind of dog my GSD is frequently. People are surprised b/c she's not huge with the sloped back like they are used to seeing. Truth is, she is just the right size for a female German Shepherd.</p> <p>I love researching and am happy to see many other people love it, too. Perhaps that's why people get along so well here at HB! </p> <p>When I was a kid, I was really into ancient Egypt. Read books, took classes after school hours....then it was outer space, music (I was a band geek)....I loved the different things I've studied in education. </p> <p>Right now, I"m trying to perfect the perfect roast chicken. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about/page/2#post-518497 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 20:50:08 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 518497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You want me to walk you through the filibuster? We could go through it's history and the current debate over what to do with it.</p> <p>Right now I could walk you through some pretty good real estate law, especially surrounding disclosure.</p> <p>I also love craftsman style architecture and furniture and could talk stickley vs Morris and discuss Green and Green houses for hours.</p> <p>I'm sure there are half a dozen other things, but those are what come to mind right away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about/page/2#post-518458 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 20:26:45 +0000 mediagirl 518458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Turtles. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about/page/2#post-518438 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 20:11:29 +0000 Reese 518438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a great thread! </p> <p>What I can geek about:</p> <p>- martial arts<br /> - dog breeds<br /> - law<br /> - accessibility<br /> - MLS, real estate<br /> - Disney movies (guilty pleasure - dont judge me!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about/page/2#post-518301 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 19:01:39 +0000 fussygal 518301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Psychology. I majored in it in college and even though I don't use it in my career, I still love it. I'm also a huge Meyers-Briggs nerd. I was just telling my SIL about it and DH told her "she is OBSESSED with that stupid test!" Haha.</p> <p>I also get really into leaning everything I can about new things I'm into (cooking/baking certain dishes, TTC, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about/page/2#post-518245 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 18:14:36 +0000 chibee 518245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Makeup for sure!

Not like the mechanical part of new cars, just what they offer, the options, the prices, gas mileage, consumer report ratings, Edmonds ratings, Kelly blue book reviews. I'm always looking for a new car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518147 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:19:57 +0000 .twist. 518147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NerdBee: hahahaha, that very well could be why he enjoys it. The books are definitely his style so I don't really know why he can't get into them. I think part of it is that they're so popular and he is so damn stubborn about "popular" things. Also, George Martin used "would of" instead of "would have" multiple times throughout the novel and it drove DH mad. hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518131 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:11:33 +0000 NerdBee 518131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: haha! Do you think that all the gratuitous naked boobage might have something to do with your DH's enjoyment of the show? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518127 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:07:01 +0000 littlebug 518127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TOTAL Harry Potter nerd, right here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518124 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:04:00 +0000 .twist. 518124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NerdBee: I read them before watching the season. I tried to get my husband to read it but he got half way through and gave up. Didn't see what the fuss was about! [he's clearly lame ;)] and so I've made him watch the first season with me and he seems to enjoy the show a lot more. pft. whatever! haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518120 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:01:51 +0000 NerdBee 518120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: the third book is a good one! Do you try to read the book before the season starts or do you read them after watching the show? </p> <p>@JerricaBenton: Its definitely worth a re-read. I read all four books again in preparation for book 5. There are so many little details that I forgot over the years. I know that he's not in the greatest health so I hope he finishes the series before he passes or I will totally freak out. I MUST know how the story ends!! Especially after book 5!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518118 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:00:53 +0000 tequiero21 518118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: u have to teach us bees!

I keep trying to get my husband and my brother to read them but they won't! I read that Martin told HBO his intentions for the end of the series in case he dies before he can finish the books. I want to cry when I think about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518063 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:19:37 +0000 .twist. 518063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: @NerdBee: Oh my gosh. I haven't started the 3rd book yet because I don't want them to end. I'm trying to read stuff in between because I just can't imagine the end of this series!!! I was SO sad after I finished the second one. I want to savour the 3rd. lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518058 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:17:59 +0000 NerdBee 518058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: kudos to your self control! I burned through A Dance with Dragons in two days. Let me know what you think! I screamed and almost threw my book across the room at the end. Haha! Can't wait until the next season starts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518042 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:07:34 +0000 JerricaBenton 518042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NerdBee: Yes! I'm halfway done with A Dance with Dragons and I'm trying to slow down because I don't want to be done! The books are so incredibly good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518027 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:58:04 +0000 yoursilverlining 518027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our local real estate market (me and both the MLS and the tax assessor websites are bffs!)</p> <p>Food and drinks found in novels, art and movies/tv. I make dishes described in novels, create dinner party menus and catering menus based on foods/drinks from novels, etc.</p> <p>I also do a lot of research on welfare programs and how those programs could be improved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518025 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:57:51 +0000 Arden 518025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness... I have so many. I'm a crazy researcher (I research random subjects for fun), so I always know way to much about the most useless things. </p> <p>It does come in handy sometimes though. I was very well researched on cloth diapers YEARS before we started TTC, sure am glad for that now! </p> <p>Also... I'm super knowledgeable about international budget travel, and I can always find crazy deals on flights and hotels and such. I planned our honeymoon to Budapest for almost nothing, like literally a few hundred dollars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518016 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:52:17 +0000 NerdBee 518016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: I'm a huge fan of Game of Thrones too! Did you also read the books? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518015 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:52:06 +0000 autumnlove 518015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Wire! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-subject-can-you-nerd-about#post-518014 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:51:33 +0000 spaniellove 518014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: It was such a huge help...in the end we only spent one day actually out looking at houses and bought the first house we visited because we'd seen so many on MLS! Having all that info, mapping everything...sometimes it pays off to be a data geek! Have tons of fun house hunting! </p>
