I wouldn't say I was a nerd, because I have friends and such...more of a gamer.
I played football and wrestling for a couple years and I was good at it...Dont have a girlfriend, but hey im only 14. I go to lan parties as well.

I'm a geek, not a nerd.

Quite Right. I would also define myself as a geek. Usually I call lesser geeks, so to speak, nerds. Especially the ones that know nothing about computers, and replay final fantasy all day.

yes.
geek not nerd.

i have friends. i don't go to otakon. i have a girlfriend. i don't play magic: the gathering.

however, other cliques (meaning the ignorant) don't realize that there's a difference; they just think i'm not a nerd/geek or that i am, depending on whether they meet me when i'm working or not.

I like to game, but i skate and play guitar more than anything, besides maybe doin stuff with my girlfriend/friends.

JetRaiden · 2004-11-25, 06:04 PM

Only a couple of my friends know the extent of my nerdiness. girls I go out with, people I party with, all usually have no clue.

I'm not sure how much of a nerd I am. I'm into MMORPGs and stuff, and I know alot about every major game, but Ive done so much to bring down my nerd points. Between gaming less and dating a model (broke up, she was a whore), it might be in the negatives now.

ViperGTS · 2004-11-25, 06:18 PM

YuSure why not. I skate and have a lot of rl friends so that takes off some points.

Life? What's that?
No relationships. I've had enough of them.
Ofcourse I have friends. Everyone does.
I used to play rugby, but I can't now due to dual knee injury.
I was [Mr. T]HELLUVA TOUGH.[/Mr. T]
Video games arn't a big part of my life. A big part of my life is spent on the computer, but that's whoring forums and talking to my mates on MSN.
All of my life what?
I don't go to parties; last one I went to, I got drunk off my face and ended up violently regurgitating my food. Several times.
LAN parties are ok for me, but I'd rather go to a party where there will be female interaction and alcohol. At the same time. Shenanigans ensue. (Or hilarity in my case).

I'm a Trekkie.

Pilgrim · 2004-11-25, 06:42 PM

The prefer to be called Trekers

And yeah, I'm with Squeeky on this... geek not nerd.

My wife would agree with that as well for me.

The ones who are Trekkers refuse to accept the new Enterprise series as canon, iirc.

ChewyLSB · 2004-11-25, 07:07 PM

I'm a huge geek/nerd. Probably the biggest in my school... only a select few can rival me. I openly admit it. I mean, come on. I'm a band *** (in Marching Band, Concert Band, and Jazz Band), I'm striving to be a Video Game Developer (Computer Programming 2AP and Physics 2AP), I'm a Star Wars Geek, and, I could go on, but that's all for now.

I don't have any girlfriends but I do have a couple of friends that happen to be female, and they're nerds, too, and most openly admit it. *shrugs* Some stupid jocks in my school push me in the hallway cause they're jocks and therefore idiots, but beyond that, being a nerd is awesome.
