personally i like to think of myself as more of a geek than a nerd because…
-i started and anime/manga club in middle school (since there was no chess club it was the nerdiest club on campus)
-i love star trek and make random refrences to it
-once went on a 5-7 minute rant in my algebra class about the science behind the fourth demension and the theory of time travel (to the dismay of my classmates)because someone didn’t understand 3-dimensional figures
-i’ve read most of h.g. well’s and jules verne’s books-love the time machine
-i wear a “softwire:rings of orbis” necklace and use the term “frak in regular conversation
-i going to comic-con this year..in full cosplay
-attempted to make a scientific diagram showing all the time travel trips in “back to the future”
-i actually find the big bang theory funny (the show-not the scientific theory)

etc. etc. etc……

i still feel kind of out-geeked looking at some of these other comments..hehe

Hahaha, wow, I just realized that the last comment on this post was almost a year ago. I may be a nerd, but I can’t read…

I wrote a program for my Ti-83+ in a fluid mechanics exam to avoid doing iterations by hand.

I wear the “Reverse Engineer” t-shirt from ThinkGeek

I build WordPress/PHP websites

If I have to do something more than 3 times on my Ubuntu server, I write a bash script.

I can SSH into aforementioned Ubuntu server from anywhere in the world.

I recently graduated mechanical engineering.

In high school, there was a kid in my spanish class who was from Bulgaria. One day, towards the end of the class, my teacher was talking to some students (including the Bulgarian student) about accents, and the variations of spoken english. Now, I had been sitting in a corner reading, but when I heard this, I screamed and started shouting excitedly about the history of spoken english and showed them the book I was reading…on the history of linguistics and the english language.

I was 15 at the time, but I believe I’d do the same thing today.

Hmmmm…. where could I begin? I was in band; I constantly babble about National Geographic-y; science-y, history-y subjects; I read and watch educational stuff for fun; I gave my 8th grade “graduation” speech; I had my hair cut like a boy (finally grew out of that when i was like 10); my favorite TV show is Planet Earth. But the thing is- I could care less. I’d rather be known as a “nerd” and feel totally comfortable, than living a lie. Life’s short. You can only be yourself once.

My son, who is six, recently got into Star Wars so I have found myself discussing issues in all of the movies and of the characters with my son. Don’t forget that I have to play lightsabers at least twice a week also :-(

My friends and I play on a crappy little softball team and I picked the number 97 for my jersey because it was the largest prime number available. You know, more secure than a 13 or 17 in the event I got attacked by crackers.

But that was my previous jersey. My current jersey’s number is pi. I wanted to use phi instead because it’s more beautiful than pi, but phi is just a bit too obscure for most people to understand. But everyone loves pi.

That previous sentence was pretty nerdy, too.
