    [​IMG] What a stupid post

    you must have been drunk when you put this up!!
    Who cares what others are like, it only matters what you and your friends are like.

    You must be some loser with no friends at all to be bothered to come in here and set this up in the first place, just to be noticed for once. Yppie people are talking to you, it took a long time but good for you!

    Did you know the human body produces the most testoesterome during the fall.
    Something to think about when you get angy during this time.

    Enough Feirhanith, if you read the FAQ you will see there are to be no personal attacks on these boards.

    Heh. It depends on whether you mean, "nerd, as labeled by others", or "nerd, as labeled by self/character". This may sound a bit snobby or like I'm making excuses -- but I'm not. I'm a part of the first group, but not the second. I'm smarter than average and most people don't like it. I don't take BS from anyone and I don't bow down to the popular people, so they don't lke me. I don't really follow the "in style", so people don't like me. I wear glasses (though they are not thick ;)) so people don't like me. They don't like people who are different. But: I do like dancing. I do not like schoolwork (I'm good at it, but I don't like it). I turn in assignments late. I read for myself, not schoolbooks. You will not find me in a library. I am not pale or spotty. My friends are few, but that's because I'm picky about my friends, and I'm close to the people I pick.

    So, am I a nerd? Looks like everyone who's dumb and mainstream would LOVE to label me as one, to make THEIR lives easier.

    [​IMG] Impressive! Mine are only -6.5 and -8.0, but I have had them since I was five years old. My nearsightedness was caused by too much reading in dim light. ;)

    Guys, Girls
    Since when is somebody´s personality measured by wether you wear glasses, lenses, homework activities. Isn´t that all a bit superficial ?. Be yourself and try not to judge others by these idiotic social-standards and do not care for being judged.
    Have a ball..... :roll:

    At a family gathering, my grandmother brought out a bunch of my junior high pictures ... and according to my wife, it is confirmed ... I was a geek.

    Dork is actually the word she used.

    So cheer up ... all you nerds, dorks & geeks, chances are you could turn out just like me!

    Wait ... that might not be good news ;) :p

    I read this very good article at Reader's Digest (I can't say which one because it was from the Finnish version) that gave out the general idea that I think about nerdiness:

    Be proud of it! I bloody well am a nerd, and I admit it openly. I am proud that people call me nerd.

    Some people think I am a nerd for I work in the Helpdesk of an Internet provider. I'm glad to say I have no computer addiction, don't computer too much at home and you don't need to be a computernerd to work here. I know a lot about computers but that doesn't make me a nerd.
