I'd love to dig myself a hobbit hole in New Zealand and be a hermit! I mean, what better place for a colony of geeks and nerds? Of course it would have to be a hobbit hole with power and high speed internet...
Great idea! Maybe the hobbit holes could be at great intervals along the north and south islands of New Zealand? Are there any other Tolkien fans here?
I am a J.R.R. Tolkien fan. I should get myself a Bilbo Baggins avatar because I lock myself in and pore over
old books and maps when I think no one is looking.
I think New Zealand would be a good place to establish our "AutLand" or "Nerdistan". We will use our computers to
devise a new language, perhaps "Nerdu" or "Pravic".
Some aspies like myself aren't nerds though lol.... I'm a geek I suppose but I'm not really a nerd. I nerd wears bow ties and suspenders and coke-bottle glasses with a peice of tape in the middle, listens to polka, bag pipes, jazz, classical, or something like that.... I do like some jazz and some classical because i listen to different types of music, and I don't mind bag pipes too badly because I'm just an Irish-American mick like that lol, but I'd prefer rock/alternative/metal or even rap (non-commercial) or raggae any day over most of that stuff, I also love japanese music:)
I used the word nerd because it is easy to coin new place names, such as "Nerdistan", or rename languages: Urdu
becomes "Nerdu". Don't you love recombobulated cliches ? As for my attire I prefer tweed jackets with elbow patches
over patched and faded jeans, no bow ties. I'm into classical, Celtic (Thistle & Shamrock), And progressive electronic
music (PRI Echoes). As for "Pravic", I got that from Ursula K. LeGuinne's 1974 Nebula Award winning novel
"The Dispossessed".Great book.
