I actually enjoy school, particularly math and science... Love Harry Potter. I'm not up to date on pop culture. I am a total bookworm.

We just named our new kittens Mister Frodo and Samwise Gamgee. Does that make us nerds?
Ohmigosh that's awesome! :happy: My cat is Alastor Moody. I will have to try obscure Tolkien names for my next pet.
My cat's name is Kodo on his adoption papers, fiance and I met on World of Warcraft (I've been clean for two years lol) but we just call him KITTY!!!! because he's a jerk and we're always yelling AWW GADAMMIT KITTY at him.
I love that little jerk

I'm a nerd and I'm pretty proud of it.0

I don't think the word 'nerd' is an accurate description anymore.
FOR INSTANCE: I can count my RL friends on one hand; can't make more because I tend to go on and on for hours about the intricacies of apellate law. I am obsessed with the book 'Count of Monte Cristo', and petulantly refuse to see any of the movies.
My hair is wierd and un-styled, and as long as all the jiggly bits are covered I don't really care what I'm wearing.
I changed from black plastic to wire frames last year because it wierds me out to see teenagers wearing my glasses.
Bottom line, I'm just not hip enough to be called a nerd.0 -
Present!
Qualifications: Major Star Trek fan (original series, please!), Firefly, Serenity, LOTR, I may be the only person on the planet with a subscription to a math and logic puzzle magazine, know the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by heart, big fan of RPGs, and I go to the Renaissance Faire in costume.

Me I am a geek... I play MTG, online video games... played WoW... stopped after 7 years. Play SWtOR now, and of course Dragon Age and so on. Love Japanese Anime and my favorite is Sailor Moon in Japanese of course. The english version is just bad in my opinion. And of course love many of the shows and movies already mentioned. Oh and I use to LARP but no longer that was when i lived in Ca.
However my boyfriend is a nerd. Owns his own computer software company.. Has his overly pricey computer set up to the 73 in tv we have.0 -
Hi! I love nerds, I am a bit of one and married to one as well. I am GM of a guild on WoW and we have been around since vanilla. I enjoy both but think Star Wars is better then Star Trek. I grew up on Buffy and the other Joss Wedon goodies.. Enjoy anime, Vampire Knight and FB are a couple of my favs, proud to be raising my kids on it as well. We managed to buy the entire Sailor Moon for one of my daughters birthdays.. LOVE to read, I lean a little more toward fantasy then sci-fi, but enjoy both.

I tend to think of myself as geek more than nerd, but I'm not sure what the difference is in most people's minds. I go to sci fi cons, am in the sca, have heaping piles of books, and a code monkey for my day job. I don't play any online games but do like board games like Dominion (and now own them all, partly inherited). I have pretty decent social skills and like to be around people, but find the standard, say, cocktail party work function where you stand around chit chatting with drinks in hand, to be a form of torture.0

The poor Dalek! They are definitely my favorite monster from Doctor Who.0

Zomg!
<-- total nerd.
I bought a t-shirt last week with some Jawas carrying away a Dalek for scrap parts.
Then my friend and I discussed the relatively inarguable implausibility of that.
The poor Dalek!0 -
I'm a Brony, Trekkie, Browncoat, still a Harry/Hermione shipper, love theonering.net, a fan of Rimmer on facebook, and named one of my daughters after Kahlan Amnell.
Love it.0 -
I'm a big-ol-nerd like you, who's married to a real genius and that's what makes him a nerd. Pretty sure my son is turning into a really smart nerd. There's still hope for my daughter, but at 2 I'm sure we will turn her into a nerd too!
NERDS Unite! :glasses:0 -
I have LOTR, HP, and Terry Pratchett covering my shelves. I still have the graphing calculators from when I attended high school. I have Godzilla vinyl figures on my shelves. I have dressed up my son as Mothra for Comic Con.
I am a nerd in a jock's body.0 -
Here I am! Here I am!0

I'm a total nerd and proud of it, be it A/V equipment, computers, gaming, films and tv even music it all seems to fall into the heavy nerd category :-)
Actually even my cats have nerdy names, Zeniba - Character from Spirited Away, Jack & Zero (brothers) from nightmare before Christmas. And Ziggy - after David Bowie not that geeky i guess lol0 -

LOL! Between my husband and I we have 3 calcs from HS! He actually helped create the slide case for one of them!0 -
Science fiction/fantasy books. My kids are totally into anime and manga so I have been learning a LOT about Hetalia recently. I have read LOTR several times, started when I was about 13 with that and I am almost 45. I have read thousands of books. I read every night to help me fall asleep. It takes my mind off of everything. I need some new book titles as I have little time to browse on my own. Recently my 17 year old has been picking books out for me. It is a good thing we tend to read some of the same stuff. I have also had my 12 year old pick books out for me. 0

I hate it when people call themselves nerd because they enjoy pop culture.
HAHAHA ^ THIS !! I'm a science nerd with fascinations with Quantum particle physics, time travel paradox's, light speed travel, and and and... Conspiracy theories!!! especially science related, ancient aliens, government cover ups that involve illuminati, NWO and secret societies. that's some real nerd ****0 -
I got a Ron Weasley's wand for Christmas. An Authetic one with the paperwork involved and everything.
Im a harry potter FREAK.
As well as all the percy jackson books, hunger games.
Grew up on Star Wars. LOVE IT0 -

I used to consider myself more of a Geek than Nerd because I am an IT Consultant but my interest in technology has waned. I hate Star Trek probably from being forced to watch it as a child along with 50's musicals. But I am a retired Geek because I really don't give a care about technology anymore. I just use it to make money so I can be outdoors. Give me sun, sand, saltwater...fishing pole...kayak...SUP. That's what I love...
Great article about this subject:

I was a nerd and a geek and etc. before any of it was cool. I liked school and was good at math, science, literature, languages; and I still research trivia and love just KNOWING stuff; not to mention that I'm a singer, with particular interest in jazz, opera, and art song (new releases--feh). Oh, and I do all the computer/technology fixing and figuring out for my parents and in my own home, even though I had no real computer training background--I think that pretty solidly covers the nerd part.
Geek? Well, LOTR, Piers Anthony, Pratchett, Gaiman (the graphic novels FIRST, thank you), WOW, Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Dr. Horrible... we can keep going, but I don't see much point).
I mean, I make up GURPS characters just for fun, no game in mind. That's gotta count for something.0 -
^^ This is me, right here! ;-)0 -
I collect comics, write a cyberpunk blog, and go to HeroesCon every year :>0

Me! I have read the Hobbit (back in high school) but never read the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Must do that... Huge fan of all things LotR. Grew up reading COMPUTE! Magazine for fun, and took all the BASIC program samples for the cool Commodores and Apples and rewrote them to work on my much geek-ier TI-99/4A.
I've taken years of music theory and have a degree in vocal performance, with 2 years graduate study in choral conducting (grad assistant) before I quickly realized (after the first semester) that I didn't want to be broke my entire life. So I followed my second heart string... Now I'm a tech support team lead.
Cheers, everyone!

I thought I burned that photo from high school lol
It's sad the nerd/geek has become a chic thing...I'm pretty sure most of us remember (/still deal with) being the odd one, the freak, the outsider and the loner because of our interests.0 -
Only thing that I haven't gotten into was Dr. Who which my nerd card has been threatened multiple times for not viewing.
DO IT!!!! I absolutely adore Dr. Who!0
