I think it's 'safe' to be a nerd in certain situations. For example, if I'm at home, on my own, with nothing to do for a day, I might look through a D&D Creature Catalogue, or get out Baldur's Gate and start a game on that. But I draw the line when it starts interfering with other things; social events, school work, or any other important duties. I wouldn't cancel a night out with my friends to go and finish the Nashkel mines, for example.
