We have this thing at our house, it's called Nerd Friday. We made it up, although I'm sure we're not the only people in the world to have put the two words together. And it's exactly like it sounds. It's nerdy, and it's on Friday. And it happens just about every Friday.

So what is it exactly?

Well first, let me give you a tiny bit of back story. I am, and always have been, a loud chatty person. I like interacting with other folks, and doing "stuff" and having fun. Meaning, I enjoy going out to bars and restaurants and parties and other people's houses. Pretty much anywhere other people are bound to be.

Randall however is the exact opposite. He likes things quiet, and calm and with as few people as possible. He is perfectly happy to stay at home with a cup of coffee and his trusty PS3/Wii/Universal controller. He's also been known to read and nap. Like I said it's the exact opposite of my ideal situation.

And yet somehow I have warmed up to his nerdy ways. After eight years of fighting it, I actually look forward to coming home on Friday night and doing nothing (granted, I usually try to make sure Saturday has a lot of something going on to make up for it). We sit around and watch dopey television (his shows that I used to make fun of, but now secretly really like -- some more than others), play cards, read, and nap. He'll also surf the internet (being sure to maintain his daily 13 hours online status quo) and I'll do something old-fashioned like knit (although don't get me started on this 1x1 ribbed tiny ass needles scarf from hell) or bake cookies.

So don't call me on Fridays. It's going straight to voicemail. That is, unless something awesome comes up. After all, a girl can't be nerdy all the time.

What would your ideal Nerd Friday consist of?
