Nerdiest Obsession: I am a renaissance nerd – every week something new catches my razorlike nerdy focus

Wastes too much time on: Making lists & planning for the future

Favourite female nerd: Sofia Coppola

Favourite male nerd: Chester Brown

Secretly collects: language podcasts

Hates with a fiery passion: People who assume girls are only really interested in stereotypical things like relationships and shoes. Especially when those people work at publishing companies and film/tv production studios!

Nerdy line that makes you swoon: “I read a great book recently…” I love men who read!
