    We need to prove nothing to no one. I have been doing this "nerd thing" long before it was trendy. Matter of fact, I will kick trendy's *kitten*. Not with my muscles, but with my brain.

    Truth! :drinker:

    I was a nerd before it was popular to be a nerd. In the late 70's used to program handheld calculators so I use metrological data and get more accuracy out of ballistic firing table for our mortars (we used slide rules before that).

    Went to college and owned my nerdiness.

    And now (at 60) I am still owning my nerdiness :-)

    That's bad *kitten*! Will you adopt me? ;)

    I'm with you all, D&D player, computers in every room of my house, model of the Death Star and X-wing fighter in my office, etc....

    Yes! PCs in every room and 4 in the living room. One for each family member and an extra. LAN parties are always at our house as well as D&D. :)

    True story.

    ry%3D400

    I've seen this before, but really... There aren't really people who own more shoes than books? I mean, seriously. Just one bookshelf is more than a whole closet full of shoes.

    I know it's a shocking thought, and it truly pains my soul, but I think that there are people who *gasp* might only own a handful of books. *shudders*

    I don't have a lot of books (though I do have more than shoes) simply because I go to the library (it's right next door to where I work)... and my mom is like a book hoarder and I don't want the (don't hate me for saying this) clutter like she had. My library card gets a lot of use though.

    that totally counts!

    Ha, that was my first thought, that a person who owns more shoes than books must be using the library! Or selling their books as soon as they are done with them. Because I genuinely can't imagine people not reading EVER.
    I'm pretty sure our house has more bookshelves than I have pairs of shoes that I actually wear.

    I am absolutely certain of this in my house. Hell, we have more computers than I have pairs of shoes.
    I'm gonna have to watch The Guild now... I liked that actress in Eureka and really didn't appreciate her demise...

    WELL worth it. Trust me!

    Most of the people who say they're "nerds" probably aren't. It's just cool to say you're a nerd these days. The bar is low in terms of criteria. Play video games? You can say you're a nerd (which is silly by the way because everyone in the post Nintendo generations grew up gaming). You don't even have to be smart anymore like the good old days. You don't need an odd hobby like collecting and mounting bugs.


    a hipster nerd?

    What's the difference between a nerd and a geek? I get them confused.

    I have two daughters:

    Korbyn (named after Korben Dallas / The Fifth Element): getting a tattoo like this, with her name in the middle as the fifth element
    73928391e0654d77a03485a47b83f87a.jpg

    Serenity (named from Firefly): getting a Serenity tattoo, not sure what

    These are both my rewards for hitting my FINAL goal.
