I spent a long time hiding my nerdiness. Not admitting that I'd already read and enjoyed the book that my classmates were groaning about. Not admitting that I still played with my dollhouses at 12. Not admitting that I loved doing research in the library.
But in college, living in a dorm, I couldn't hide it anymore. Probably the weekend I stayed in reading my freshmen roommate's books from her literature class, instead of going out with said roommate, was what forced me to come out as a nerd.
I just want to point out that that was at least ten years before nerds were cool and hot actors started showing up at Comic-Con.
So, fellow nerds, this is for you:
- There's now a role-playing game for Jane Austen nerds. You are welcome.
- This is for European history nerds. My favorite profile is "Hindsight".
- I don't get all of these, but I liked the ones I did. Jokes for nerds.
- Usually, I don't really get Tumblr, but then I found My Daguerreotype Boyfriend.

I'm so excited about that Jane Austen role-playing game that I'm not even afraid to out myself as a nerd for a second. I have never wanted to role play so badly in my life.
It's good to out in the open about this kind of thing. I liked the Daguerrotype Boyfriend
