    [​IMG] I aint a nerd!
     
  7. I know I'm not a nerd! Nerds go to the library or games room instead of going to dances to dance their asses off for 2 hours.
    Nerds hang around reading for 40 minutes instead of talking with the popular kids. Nerds love homework and don't leave it until the last minute. Nerds keep shoving their glasses up until it almost touches their eyes. Nerds don't wear makeup and say it's really stupid. I go to dances, I talk with the popular kids, I do my homework at midnight the day it's due, I let my glasses hang loosely and I wish I could get laser eye surgery so I don't need to wear them, I wear makeup. I'm no nerd!

    [​IMG] People who go to the library, read books, wear their glasses however they like, don't wear makeup, and don't like to dance aren't nerds. They have more guts than everyone else because they don't conform just to fit in with everyone else. They are who they want to be and don't care what everyone else thinks. This does not make them nerds. In fact the real nerds are the people who do care what everybody else thinks and tries to conform.

    PS I don't have glasses, and I don't have anything against dancing. I certainly don't wear makeup ;). And I don't care what others think.

    To chose your friends based on popularity seems kind of sad to me...

    Nerds answer this topic..................Damn!
     
  11. I don't pick my friends from popularity! Helllllo, you won't find anyone who picks their friends from popularity! 700 people are too much to have "popular" and "non-popular" people. I'm looking at the other schools around me.

    SG: If there are no popular people, how come you talk to them?
    Clearly one of us must be imagining things. :D

    [​IMG] As I said before on the chat I'm a wannabe nerd. I have all the social ineptitude, the mild health/fitness problems (myopia, asthma etc.), the pallid complexion and so forth generally associated with the "Nerd" class, but none of the redeeming features such as the work ethic, the superior cultural/intellectual understanding, the technical wizardry or general employability. Perversely, I sometimes like to celebrate my nerdiness by doing such things as hanging a periodic table on my wall - for two reasons. One, it's very fashionable to identify one's self as an individual, or at least be different in some superficial way. Two, I hope that if I embrace the negative aspects of nerd-dom the positive ones will rub off on me in time. :D

    Mark: Why do you ask? To me its a silly/weird question.

    Well, i have some of the classic "nerdy" qualities: I have glasses, im smart (no to brag or anything but my lowest grades are usually about A- so i guess its kinda good) I like Star Wars, I play D&D, I chat in english (here ONLY), I hate PE and I'm god at the computer.
    But im still popular in class, dunno why though. I dont wear fashion clothes, i dont listen to the new pop/techno music (I despise computer/electronic music) and so on. But i like it so im not complaining ;)

    I don't think that any one on the face of this planet can say that they "are not a nerd."

    Honestly, you must have done something in your life that has been slightly nerdy before, you are here aren't you?

    Popularity is over rated; i'm not popular but i have lots of friends. I have found that the "popular" people are real idiots some times(the ones i know) exept for the limited few that care for what they do to others.

    [​IMG] If being a nerd means that you know just enough about computers to be incredibly dangerous, count me in.

    If being a nerd means that you can solve math/algebra/calculus problems in your head at a glance, count me in.

    If being a nerd means that you talk to your computer as though it was your friend, count me in.

    If being a nerd means that cyberspace IS your reality, count me in.

    If being a nerd means that your IQ hovers around genius, yet your social IQ bumps along at a constant below average, count me in. :o

    If being a nerd means that your only girlfriends have been virtual, count me in.

    If being a nerd means that your biological clock has no clue what day and night are, count me in.

    If being a nerd means that you spend a mandatory 72 hours straight playing a game after you first buy it, count me in! :D :grin: :D

    There are 200 people in my scool, 196 of them consider me a "nerd", if all the things mentioned above make you a nerd then I'm completely nerdtacular ('cept about the homework bit). I agree that we unfaily dubbed "nerds" are if fact the only half intelligennt people around ;) .

    BTW, you rock capstone! :D

    Cheers, Void.

    Nerds love tweaking, overclocking etc. I'm not one. I know some about computers but prefer going out and sport and girls so I'm definetly no nerd :) Ah I have also no glasses :)
