SO, this week has been a big week on my f-list for discussing very serious topics, most notably racism. And I thought about writing a post about my thoughts on it, chronicling my experiences as a 'minority' of Guam and the fun of being a woman in a predominantly male profession, but decided to do something tacky and fun instead.

So I bring you the "How White and Nerdy are you" meme.

I wanted to check the pi one SO BADLY but I don't know 1000 digits. I have a file that has the first million, as well as a book about pi, though, so I think I've earned half a check mark there!

[dynastic-queen.livejournal.com]

Oh, what the hell. Check it!

Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces ROFL!! (teh still hurts!)

Hahahaha!

I'm less white and nerdy than you!

I'm proud of my nerdiness! The paleness of my skin, however, is somewhat problematic in the sun. A little more melanin would not have been bad. :(

[revoked-soul.livejournal.com]

I just don't have the nerdiness in me. I am instead a huge dork, which as we all know is quite different. ;)

The sun can be a bitch. I don't burn too easily, unlike the rest of my family, but I DO get freckles. And I have to say, sometimes I think I'd prefer the sunburn...
