Get Ready…

Because This Is Sort of Embarrassing

Mrs. Workman is…A Really Big Nerd!And I Mean That In the Best Way Possible

What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 10

I Like to Write

I write short stories, plays, screenplays, even two whole fairy tale novels for a now not-so-little girl I’ve known since she

was 2 years old. Yes, and sometimes I even write fan fiction.

What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 9

I Love Reading

Barnes and Noble is like my second home. And I almost only read Classic Literature (except for my obsession with Neil Gaiman). Book

Worm, right?

What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 8

I’m a Super Massive Anglophile

I refer to England as the Blessed Isle. I have been there three times and can’t wait to go again! At random times I will break out into a

British accent, so prepare yourself.

What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 7

I play flute and alto-saxophone

In High School, I was in Band, Jazz Band, & Pep Band. Back in my day, this made you talented, but a nerd. I’m not sold on that last one.

What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 6

I Love Acting

I was in all my school’s plays from 4th grade to Senior Year. I even wrote my alma mater’s Fall Play after I got out of High

School.

What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 5

One of My Favorite TV Shows Was Made Before I Was Born.

I heart Remington Steele. Before he was Bond, Pierce Brosnan was Remington Steele.

What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 4

I am a Disney Addict!

I love all things Disney – movies, music, the parks, Vinylmation, all of it! I have a serious problem, but it’s a magical one.

What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 3

I love Lord of the Rings.

I still had LOTR posters on my bedroom walls when I got married. I know, right? Now, they hang in my classroom.

What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 2

I am totally obsessed with Star Wars

I’ve read way too many of the books, own a bunch of Star Wars board games, and have even been to a Star Wars convention.

Personally, I think this makes me Awesome!

What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 1

I love Doctor Who!

He is a Time Lord who can travel anywhere in Time or Space in his ship that looks like a blue police box. It’s a sci-fi show from

England that is now more than 50 years old. Basically, it’s amazing and you should join the Doctor Who Club.
