What?

Dennis is a nerd?  Newt is a nerd?  Mofo Rising is a nerd?

I'm a nerd?

Me too.  :teddyr:

I've always thought of nerds as the socially inept,  I think Geekdom is more about  obsession over something.  I'm sure most people think I'm perfectly normal until something like Movies, Star Trek, or Science Fiction become part of the discussion.



And you thought Trek isn't cool.

I'm a dork.

I don't have too much in the way of intelligence... :question:
                                             

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.

I must be a nerd.  Every time Jack mentions his router I mentally picture a woodworking device.
If I were a geek, I would think automatically of computer electronics - right?

I always considered myself a nerd.  But, most anything associated with geekdom: Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, Chess, computers, math, well, I know nothing about.  Never been interested.

I'm not a nerd, as while I was in the gifted classes, I wasn't one of those that could do a lot of stuff.

But, I have a few "Geek" things.  I like Comic Books (but I'm not an EXPERT, so I couldn't sit there with a group of comic nerds and talk about them.)  I like pro wrestling, and I sorta obsess about stupid stuff. 

In school, I didn't fit in with any group.  Too 'normal' for the geeks/nerds, not a jock, etc.  I dunno.

Well if we're going back to high school, I was the class clown, but I was also a punk rocker long after the people in Black Flag got full-time jobs, but before it got snatched up teeny magazines with Blink 182. So that mean't I was friends with Skaters, Goths, Metal-heads... so I guess I was a "freak". I dunno.
