I spent most of my free time in front of the computer, but given a choice to go out, and I will not complain( out with friends, vacations and fun stuff that is, not another visit to an Aunt's house where there are dozens of screaming kids...).

I think you mean geek. A geek was originally a circus performer, that would eat almost anything, alive or dead. The scary-bizarre guy. A nerd, was originated by doctor suess, but not defined at that time. It got a definition of a "square" in 1957, daddio.

I think that we are living in the age of the New Nerd, like the New Man that preceeded it 10 years ago, but with internet access. The New Nerd has come out of the internet cafe and onto the streets signalling a brave new world for all of us. They continue to be fantasy/sci-fi obsessed but now do so with the added ambiguity of post-modernist irony, which means no one really knows if they are taking themselves seriously or not at any one time. The New Nerd is not afraid to show his ignorant side and no longer feels the need to be more intelligent than non-nerds.
This rambling could go on for ever, but in conclusion: biscuits are nice, especially chocolate bourbons.

I go out a lot, have a good social life, enjoy a wide array of sports. I'm no nerd. Just a freak.
