[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2601553, member: 35678"] well, here goes . . . why i am a nerd: -i have played D&D since i was 11, and i am now 17 and 1/2 (and plan to keep it up for the rest of my life :D) -love fantasy novels, i have always had a way above average reading level (grade 10 reading elvel in grade 5 >ie 450 page books) surprizingly enough, it took me a long time to fine Tolkien and Lord of the Rings, but i LOVE those books. -like star wars, played the RPG tied to that a few times, read many novels, and bought the 3 disc DvD when it first came out -i have various textbooks that i read for pleasure, many being the history of Europe, and i plan to have a job teaching history, though i am not sure of specifics yet (highschool, field work, etc) -play a plethora of video games, including Diablo 2, the Grand Theft Auto series, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, oldschool mario on various systems, adn on occasion, Pokemon on gameboy -speaking of Pokemon, i used to collect, adn had nearly every card in the basic set. dont really care for that now, more of a childish thing :P -and speaking of childish, i used to play with lego for hours and hours and hours and hours. -computer junkie - i have a goatee - i own many D&D books > about 40 right now things that take away from this: -i am a big guy, only 5'6", but i weigh in at 195 Ibs, and that is mostly muscle. most people dont try to mess with me because of that (no one picks fight with me, lol) -i am a complete metalhead, and dress the part. I got tons of band shirts (Mudvayne, Slipknot, System of a Down [just say them tongiht, :):):):)ING AWESOME SHOW], Lamb of God etc), studded leather bracelets, rings, baggy pants, studded belts, and a sweet pair of ADIDAS (my only indisgression to metalhead-dom) oh, and a bacpack with various nu0metal band patches and some spikes :P -i have a girlfriend of one year and eight months. She was attracted to me because i look like a "bad-boy", but i am infact a closet nerd/nice guy, although i am completely open about it (my being nerdy) -i dislike anime in general and hate star trek. nuttin much else to say there -i am in good shape, like to work out, and i have a shag. heh heh -i have a massive music collection. now, this is kinda hit and miss. it is all metal and rock, and i have 120 and growing (usually get a new cd ever 3 weeks) but is that nerdy or not? meh, either way, i LOVE music -another hit or miss, i write lyrics and someday hope to front (being a singer in) a metal band. not sure if i have thje voice tho. oh well, i have fun writing lyrics. that said, i took the test, and i am a nerd. woot! Pure Nerd 73 % Nerd, 21% Geek, 34% 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 Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd. The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful. ************ hope you enjoyed my rant. i am going to go to sleep now ;) [/QUOTE]
