Watch movies, eat pizza and debate silly stuff like the best kind of sandwich to bring on a deserted island. Sadly, Morgan and I did so for like four hours once.

Hey, I'm a supervisor of a Nerd Herd. My life's not all that exciting. I'm sure your survey answers would be more interesting than mine.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* That's not sad. Kinda sounds like fun really. I don't get into too many conversations like that. You seem to be the kind of guy who would be good to have on a Trivial Pursuit team.

I could almost guarantee you more boring answers. Nine times out of ten the only places I'll see on a given day are work, my house, and the inside of my car.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

*grins* Well, I guess I'd be decent at the pop culture sci-fi stuff. And computers.

Uh, seriously...I kinda ditto those answers myself.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Most of Trivial Pursuit is pop culture. I don't watch enough tv to ever win on my own.

Then my answers would probably be about level as yours. *chuckles* This conversation reminds me of those sandwich debates you were telling me about.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Depends on what version of the game. Some of them are more academic.

Yeah, but I doubt this debate would last four hours. *chuckles*

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

The newer standard versions seem to be pretty pop culture heavy.

Well now you're making it sound like a challenge!

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, true.

Oh c'mon...you seriously don't want to debate whose life is more boring for four hours, do you? *grins*

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

But then again, there's stuff like movie based Trivial Pursuit. I've played to Star Wars one and was pretty fair but I guess I haven't seen the movies enough.

I'd rather not, but a guy does crazy things when pushed.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, there's all sorts of 'em out there. I think I would have done pretty well with the Star Wars one. I dunno what that says about me though...

Maybe we'll just call it a draw. *grins*

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

*laughs* It says you have a hobby! There's nothing wrong with that. My idea of fun is reading a newly published medical journal. It's still what most would consider geeky.

Well, I play a lot of sports too when I can, but for argument's sake I'm going to leave that out. *grins*

Fine, a draw it is then.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

My hobby is watching sci-fi? Okay...I guess that's a hobby. *nods and shrugs a bit sheepishly*

Seriously, I would never, ever, refer to anything anyone does as geeky.

And you're probably really good at sports. Why would you leave that out?

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Well, you're the first. Most people just roll their eyes and say I need to get out more. *shrugs* It doesn't really bother me though. As long as whatever you're doing doesn't hurt anybody I say go for it.

Because it doesn't really relate to what we were talking about, it made more sense in my head.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

People have said the same to me about needing to get out more.

Um...okay. I suppose it was sorta non sequitur, but it's all good.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

And do you? Get out more that is.

Sorry, usually my train of thought makes more sense.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I'd say so now that I have a girlfriend. Sarah and I are away a lot.

Oh, nothing to be sorry for.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Oh really? What kinds of places do you guys go to?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Uh...let's see...

One night I went to an art show. One night...we went out for dinner. Actually a couple times.

Once I went to her place for pizza...

Um...yeah, a bunch of places really, I guess. *shrugs*

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

See, you're well on your way to getting a life. *smiles and pats Chuck on the back*

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Uh...thanks? *timdly grins*

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Anytime. *grins back* If you're ever interested in pursuing that whole getting a life thing in the LA area I'd be happy to buy you a drink or something.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Sweet. I'm just outside of LA actually.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Oh really? Why didn't I pick up on that one earlier?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Um, well, I don't think I mentioned it yet...

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

True, but usually you can kinda tell when someone is around your area by the places and things they reference.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Well, I think I've only mentioned the Buy More and...well, they're kinda a chain and all. *shrugs*
