Im A Nerd? 2007-06-23 21:08:40 Reply

There used to be this image of a 30 or so, fat guy, riddled with acne, living in his parents basement with star trek posters all over the walls, who did nothing but talk about science or play video games all day. That used to be a nerd. These days it seems like so many things can constitute being a "nerd". I never thought i was but when i told my friends at school the other day i go on NG a few hours a day on average i was labled a nerd. Now it seems like liking things like star wars and playing games a lot makes someone a nerd. I thought well i like to do these things.. does that make me a nerd? I mean i have sex, take drugs, party a lot, go out every weekend. These were things i thought "nerdy" people didnt do. Now so many things i thought were cool are jut laughed at these days...
What the fuck is a nerd anyway?

Nerdiness is nothing more than social deviation. People fear the norm and label it as "nerd".

According to my friend's definition, a nerd is someone who is smart, uses the computer, is mature for his age, and uses words he doesn't know, such as "obese." He thinks that being immature is so ubercool and he wants to "stay a kid forever." He also likes to watch Cartoon Network and his favorite shows are Naruto, Camp Lazlo, and My Gym Partner is a Monkey. He also wears dark clothes to be cool.

So, you're pretty much saying you think drugs and partying make you cool.

No, doing those thing doesn't make you a nerd.

My definition of a nerd is: really smart (in every subjects), few or no friends at all, plays Dungeon and Dragons or any other wizards and dragons crap except World of Warcraft, and always nervous around girls.

I think playing WoW pretty much makes you a nerd.

Did you know that the word "nerd" was originatyed by none other then Dr. Seuss? Does that mean that if someone (like me) played video games, and was labeled a nerd, does that mean I am a baby, who likes to read fictional poetry?

whah.

Playing WoW does not make you a nerd, to many people play it and when it becomes so broad that a lot of people do something and it is not isolated with a specific group of people then i can't be categorized. Different places around the world have different views on what a nerd is. A tech college has a completely different view of a nerd and just being smart is not being a nerd.

No, of course not.

The nerds are too smart to play WoW.

It's the geeks that do it.

You are right. Although I rarely play computer games, computers and their games have become a part of modern day life. If anything, you should be calling them hippies instead of them calling you nerd.

Meh, I guess I`m a nerd. I stay on the computer and play video games all the time, I hang out with other people who do the same as I and a dude who plays DnD every weekend.
