Meme, and nerdity

Modern, Cool Nerd
60 % Nerd, 60% Geek, 13% Dork
For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Congratulations!

On that note, Tatooine exists! Hee. I've been thinking about traveling to Africa someday, and was looking into Tunisia *g* Yes, I'm a complete nerd! The other day I was having a small Christmas gathering at a friend's house, and discovered that most of my friends are also nerds, as most of the evening's conversation consisted of martial arts (one of them is a ninja), X-Men 3, Fantastic 4, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Narnia. Well, at least I'm not alone!
