... when you are waking up thinking in your target language Danish and you don't want to get out of bed because you don't want to interrupt your foreign language thoughts.

Last night I wrote something in Dutch in my TAC log and decided I needed to give an English translation because I thought my Dutch senteces might contain too many grammar mistakes. Unfortunately I spent even more time writing in English because I was often using Dutch word order and typing Dutch words in the middle of my sentences.

You know you're a language nerd when you're excited about getting a 1372 page Basque grammar and a 776 page Sumerian grammar. :D

I don't see how that comes into play with nerdiness, but they are Standard Basque - A Progressive Grammar by Rudelf P. G. de Rijk, and A Descriptive Grammar of Sumerian by Abraham Hendrik Jagersma. I have them both in PDF form, but the Basque one is currently being shipped to me from Amazon. ;)
