I think that if Real Genius taught us anything, it was that nerds can be cool too.

Hey, actor Vin Diesel is known to play D&D (I believe he visited the WotC office before or something) and he stresses that playing D&D is in no way a nerdy hobby, so there. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, by most accounts I am nerd. I am really into RPing, I have glasses (curly hair too!), I stay on the compurter alot, I dont really like being in the 'in-crowd'.

But I think it could go the other way if I wanted it too. I just find this lief style more intresting.

You like hockey. By that definition alone you can't be a nerd.

The definition of 'nerd' depends on you. It can change from person to person...a nerd can be someone who gets perfect marks on everything. It could be someone who doesn't smoke. It could be someone that goes to forums. It could be someone who plays RPG's, and knows every single thing about computors and has numerous little devices for it.

In my opinion, noone is a nerd. We all just find some things more fun and exciting to do in our lives than others. I myself am considerd a 'nerd' by some people. To them, someone that goes on forums and plays on the computor lots is a nerd. My friends back me up...not all them do what I do, but respect what I do.

I've been told that I am the first biker-nerd that KHaN has ever known to exist.
There are people at school who nearly dropped dead laughing at his description of me because, they say, its true.
Well, at least I am a cool nerd! ;)

I belong to a herd of nerds? Thanks for telling me. ;)

A sociology major, who RPed with us as a study (mostly Space[d] Opera as I remember) says that all gamers have some kind of hang-up with sex. They've had bad relationships in the past, never had good success with members of the opposite sex in school, etc.

Dunno how much truth there is to that...but it's at least partly true. A lot of gamers I knew were _very_ frustrated people! ;)
