is November gone yet?

Really fell down on the job of Consuming Media in November, with only 6 books and 3 films added to the ongoing tally. I blame a combination of a foul frame of mind and having started several large books that turned out not to be worth finishing halfway through. (And yes, I do realize that that's still more reading than most Americans apparently do in an entire year. Still no excuse.)

• New Thing Learned for 29 November: High-bush blueberries, which produce most of the commercial crop in the US, are indeed high, up to 12 feet tall. Not exactly what one would picture if one's more familiar with wild blueberries, which are small shrubs. [Source: Good Eats.]
  
  
• New Thing Learned for 30 November: Researchers have now confirmed that there are lightning strikes on Venus. Kind of an academic point of interest, really, but I guess it keeps those rowdy researchers off the streets. [Source: Yahoo! News.]

All of which is to say that I probably deserved this result:

Your Score: Outcast Genius

69 % Nerd, 73% Geek, 52% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius.

Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject).

Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius.

Congratulations!

Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

But hey, at least I'm not the guys who wrote up that page on exorcism...
