r u a nerd?

[NJArtist]

Do you consider yourself a nerd?

Do you consider being a nerd insulting?

Am I a nerd? I would have to say no, but that depends on who you ask

Dictonary.com's says:

nerd also nurd (nûrd)
n. Slang
1. A foolish, inept, or unattractive person.
2. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.

So no, I am not a nerd. I do however consider my TI-89 to be my lightsaber

Yeah I have a "lightsaber" too, but the only calculating I do with it is with sexponentials, I mean exponentials...oh whatever

 

[ace31216]

Yeh... I'm a nerd. It's a smarter version of a dork.

 

[Elledan]

No, I'm a geek or genius. Not certain which one

BTW is NJArtist a nef?

Well since that definition doesn't describe me then I guess I'm not a nerd.. whoa.. also dweeb, geek, and dork apparently do not apply as all of their definitions are identical to nerd.. hmm

 

[phatcow]

noooope... im technically inclined but umm social..

 

[NJArtist]

I've lost all my social skills since meeting my girlfriend...I have like no friends anymore, and don't seem to care. Is there something wrong with me? I think I spend more time on the computer than I do actually interacting with real live people.

[mchammer187]

I thought I was a nerd, but I'm not sure what I am anymore. I'm just me. What you get with me is me.

Definately not a genius or else you'd realize that &quot;BTW Nef!&quot; means &quot;By the way Nef!&quot; which isn't even close to being a sentence.
