Who here would refer to themself as a nerd...?
It's no big deal, I just want to know...

[Raging-Fury]

? whats with the question i am not quite getting what ur grasping at, are u asking wether we think we are nerds because of our hobbies and the sites we hang out on?

[xjudicator]

All I asked is: Are - you - a - nerd???!!!

What a Nerd!

[Battlecruiser]

Anyone who calls another person a noobie on anything related to the computer is a very big nerd. That is excluding Geno because Geno is the only one who uses noobie in the way it was meant to be used and he doesn't insult people either. Also this thread doesn't really belong here. Can you give me a good definition of a nerd? I mean I know what it is, but different minds might think of the word nerd as different things.

[Fenguin]

I'm a nerd for the specific reason that I'm actually studying for AP tests. Ugh. :/

Oh, and welcome to WB and have a donut :donut:. Also, this thread was moved to a more suitable forum. :)

[Nahotnoj]

Id say the stereotype of a nerd is:

The stereotypical "nerd" Has thick glasses, tucks his/her (girl nerd...?) shirt in, spends every waking moment on the computer or studying things like rocket science, computer programming etc. Also, uses extremely complex/nerdish internet acrinymns and big words in every day vocab. (basically speaks like a stereotypical british person from colonial times)

I might have exageratted a bit, and remember, this is the stereotype, not what I think.

[Battlecruiser]

The only thing that I have in common is that I wear glasses but they are pretty small and thin. I am getting contacts soon anyways so I am not a nerd.

[Nahotnoj]

remeber, i said the stereotype. Then again, since its a stereotype, i suppose the majority of people would agree with it. (that is, the stereotype of the stereotype of the majority of people... wait, what did i just say?)

P.S. just broke 2 hundred posts! got second hundred in just a few days!

[Modred]

I wear glasses (but not thick, rimmed ones).

I spend 10+ hours on the computer every week (really not a lot...I think...)

I know a lot about computers (except about installing memory and video cards apparently...software is more my thing)

I download music from NES games and listen to it in my free time.

I don't have a girlfriend.

Yeah...I'm pretty close to a nerd. But I'm thinking just more of a dork (not a dorc :p), than a nerd.

Hey Feng, kinda funny thing, studying for AP tests. I had two this week and didn't study for one of them, and I think I did quite good on it...of course, I would have bombed the AP Eng&Lang if I hadn't studied...I might have still bombed it...but I'm fairly confident I did well...

[ZeroDarkStar]

I hate to be arrogant, but I'm not really a nerd, in my view.

Let's see:

- I'm about the 3rd most popular kid in the grade.

- I'm on the high school baseball team.

- I have a girlfriend.

- I don't have glasses (if that's the sterotype nowadays).

Gogo me! ;)

[Modred]

Oh yeah... ZDS reminds me of something.

Despite my somewhat dorkiness, I can hang out with just about anyone at my school. Lets say I'm a people person and most people like me.

[HackingVictim]

FAT, Smart aleck, tall, no girlfriend, NOT popalur, lazy, strait D's, apart of chess club, knows more HTML than the advance computer aplications proffeser, hangs out with nerds, gets beaten up by bullies once a month, and has a southern accent.

(I wonder who can that be..........) :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Subjukator]

Your fat and tall?!

And nerds getting bad grades is just them being "too good for anyone else in the class." Nerds are also generally arrogant and sniffly things. They also dress, alternatively, from everyone else. Like out of style clothing or dresses very clean-cut.

Thankies much for the compliment! I try to use language as it was MEANT to be, not how it's TURNED OUT to be... If you understand my logic, that is.

Anyways, am I? It depends.

+ I don't wear glasses or contacts
-- I am Saluditorian of my class, showing how smart I am.
+ I've had girlfriends before
-- One of them I met online
+ I have a job
-- When I'm not at that job, I'm here
+ I don't know where the word Pr0n originated
-- I do know where computer originated (Thank you Mr. Babbage. If you don't know what I mean, I believe his name was 'Charles Babbage' or something of that nature. He's credited with the first computer)
+ I want to make something of my life by going to college
-- My major is in a 'geek' field. Computers x.x

That should tell you about how I stand. Somewhere in the middle. Oh, and I'm no Mr. popular, but I'm not dirt low. o.O

~Larry "Geno" Meyers

[ZeroDarkStar]

Geno's too modest....

With hair like that, who COULDN'T love him?

(I'm sorry, that hair is just so cool..)

[Nahotnoj]

uhh... did i miss something? does he have a pic of his hair or something?

[Battlecruiser]

Here is a picture of Geno- http://www.angelfire.com/games5/zerodarkstar/DSCF0062_2_Copy.jpg. I have to agree. Geno's hair is really cool.

[zzov]

what's a nerd anywayz? =) perhaps I'm geek.. no wait Im not

[Carnage]

what's a nerd anywayz? =) perhaps I'm geek.. no wait Im not

There you have it. The world's shortest one man argument. ^_^

http://www.angelfire.lycos.com/doc/images/rloadblock.jpg

Yeah. Red hair is nice. :P

[Geno]

o.O Thanks for the compiments, really... And yea, I think it's OK... I'm thinking of cutting it soon, down to my natural brown, but when college rolls around, I'm thinking about dying it again... Maybe a black perhaps? With Blonde tips? That would be shweet ^.^

~Larry "Geno" Meyers

[BlackHawk]

Geek? Nah. Somewhat geeky? Absolutely :D.

I guess I'm somewhat normal, I'm not like Mr. So Cool, but I'm not dirt bottom. Though I haven't had a girlfriend, but then again I'm way to shy to ask and I don't fell the necessity for one right now...I'm okay in school, my best marks are in Comm Tech, History ( :shiftyr: ), Science, and some other things. Uhh, I wanna own my own Paintball Arena when I'm older...or just some business of my own...and I don't know much about programming, but that's okay my gaming habits more then make up for that (go go XBOX!). So I guess I'm somewhat geek but more normal-ish.

[WeekendLazyness]

I'm not just a nerd, but a geek, as I know a lot about what there is to know when it comes to technology.

[Whiteknight]

Dictionary Terms:

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

---

geek ( P ) Pronunciation Key (gk)
n. Slang

A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy.
A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.

(I suppose Ozzie or Mike Tyson or whoever is a geek then ;))

---

dork ( P ) Pronunciation Key (dôrk)
n.
Slang. A stupid, inept, or foolish person

I'm not really a geek or w/e. I have friends, hang out with them regularily, play some sports(badminton, Badminton, BADMINTON! >.<), etc. I have an on and off job too, going to work a lot during the summer and after exams (La gov't exam is going to be pretty bad, didn't learn a thing...). The thing is, so many people are pretty inept at computers in my town/school. I just seem to know a lot because I'm good at interpreting and looking around, usually finding out what to do. Whenever I'm not doing much, I stay in my room and do h/w while watching tv and going on the computer. It's easy to browse forums while doing other things. Plus I stay up pretty late, so there isn't much else to do.

BTW, Charles Babbage created the first computer, it filled a room. I'm pretty sure it was something called the ENIAC, or something like that.
-Gogo Infopro! :)

Whoa, I just realized that I still have that powerpoint. Charles Babbage was known as the father of computing "for his contributions to the basic design of the computer through his Analytical machine. His previous Difference Engine was a special purpose device intended for the production of tables. "

[Nahotnoj]

Geek: someone who bites the head off of a live chicken? I'd like to see that...

[Geno]

Ozzie did that. Well... Actually, he bit the head off a live bat and got screwed... o.O

~Larry "Geno" Meyers

[Battlecruiser]

Ozzie did that. Well... Actually, he bit the head off a live bat and got screwed... o.O
He also bit a dove. When he bit the live bat everyone thought he might have gotten rabies so he had to get a rabies shot. What a retard.

[Geno]

Retard? He got popularity from that kind of stuff. Look at where he is now... *Goes to bite the head off of... Hmmm... I have to think about that...*

~Larry "I'm going to be popular Geno" Meyers

[dunchy]

Me? Nah :) Not by the norm classification. I drive a fairly nice sports car, have many rounded friends, and hit the gym 3-5 times a week. At heart though, I'm the biggest geek out there, for I love Godzilla films :)

Damn you and your 1337ness. Have a good car x.x I need one :(

-- I am Saluditorian of my class, showing how smart I am.
For someone who's soooo smart, I'm rather surprised you don't know how to spell "Salutatorian." :smirk:

By dictionary definition, I'm none of those! :)

However, by common interpretation, I take a little from each category, I believe.

My hobbies include:
- Sitting at this computer all day, working on a website.
- Sitting in front of the TV watching Sci-Fi shows (Doctor Who and Stargate SG-1).
- Drama (all aspects).
- Speech team (next year).
- Not doing math homework at home because I do it in class because I don't pay attention to the teacher because I get an A/A+ pretty much regardless. :)
- I've watched the first Star Wars Trilogy (ANH, TESB, ROTJ) upward of 80 times, easily.
- I've watched the other two upward of 30 times.
- This summer: Composing a short symphonic suite for my Senior Recognition Band Concert next year.
- Arranging various songs to Tenor, Baritone, Bass vocals (Men's A Cappella).

Need I go on?

So I was tired when I posted that... Give me time... x.x

~Larry "Geno" Meyres

P.S.
+ I can't spell that word :)
-- I want to learn how to spell it correctly x.x
-- -- I can spell antidisestablishmentarianism

[Battlecruiser]

- Speech team (next year).
What is speech team?

[Geno]

What is speech team?

Probably a team where you give speeches? [/captainobvious]

Oh haha. Must be becuase I am posting at 2 in the morning. Ahh I am tired. Good night.

[Geno]

Oh haha. Must be becuase I am posting at 2 in the morning. Ahh I am tired. Good night.

I'm in for that. My brain's fried, and I'm tired after a long ass day of work. I'd go into detail, but I will make a thread on that tomorrow after I get off work in the morning... See you later all, *Out*

~Larry "Night-night Geno" Meyers

[Whiteknight]

How I compare to OG:

- Sitting at this computer all day, working on a website. +computer when at home, -website
- Sitting in front of the TV watching Sci-Fi shows (Doctor Who and Stargate SG-1). +Watching tv when at home while one comp, +Stargate (What channel do new shows air on? I can't find it.
- Drama (all aspects). BIG -
- Speech team (next year). No speech team, but wouldn't do it: -
- Not doing math homework at home because I do it in class because I don't pay attention to the teacher because I get an A/A+ pretty much regardless. :) +Same
- I've watched the first Star Wars Trilogy (ANH, TESB, ROTJ) upward of 80 times, easily. -I've seen it... maybe 3 times
- I've watched the other two upward of 30 times -maybe 3 times
- This summer: Composing a short symphonic suite for my Senior Recognition Band Concert next year. - ...never composed a thing
- Arranging various songs to Tenor, Baritone, Bass vocals (Men's A Cappella). -again, never composed a thing.

I'm not too much of a musician, although I take music. I doubt I'll ever compose anything.

Geno, too bad you got second, try harder next time. :)



~Larry "No shit Sherlock Geno" Meyers Heh, so much funny things you can do if you include an ending signature.


₪ White *So sad* knight ₪

Hmm.... naaaaaaw....?

[Geno]

WK... No... Only for those who do it regularly, or have before. I think there are only a few that have signed some of their posts here, but I guarantee every post on this forum, excluding some RP threads have my name at the end in some way. The only reason the RP's don't have it, is because I'm in char. If I put an OOC afterwards, though, I sometimes put it there ;)

~Larry "Geno" Meyers

I don't. Never have....

Cheers to the mods? :)

BTW, Geno, don't worry, I was kidding anyways.

[OboeGuru]

New Stargate SG-1 Episodes are on Sci-Fi Channel at 6pm, 10pm CDT on Fridays.

More nerd-dom for me: I'm pumped about the new Stargate series: Atlantis.

:D

[Whiteknight]

Sci-Fi? Bell doesn't get anything like that. I checked their site, nothing called Sci-Fi. Is the Space channel the Sci-Fi channel? Stupid Bell... I gotta phone them up.

Yeah, I've heard about Atlantis, it looks pretty good. Thats starting... I forget when... Oh well, looks good.

[Mordecai2k]

im a fucking hardcore nerd.

[Duddits]

remeber, i said the stereotype. Then again, since its a stereotype, i suppose the majority of people would agree with it. (that is, the stereotype of the stereotype of the majority of people... wait, what did i just say?)

P.S. just broke 2 hundred posts! got second hundred in just a few days!
I got 175 posts within 24 hours... If you extended that to 48 hours, I had nearly 250 posts ^^ I was the day I broke 500 posts when I got the 175 posts thing. The day ended with me at 650 (I started our at around 480).

But anyway, I have a sunburn. Hence I was outside playing soccer and am ,herfore, not a nerd. Plus U have contacts ^^

[xjudicator]

What would you say I am? I mean I'm on a computer all the time, not literally, but alot. I go outside sometimes, but not for sports. Hmm...maybe...people also tell me I'm not a nerd. Ah, hell, I'm just trying to take up space and get this thread back.:D

[Grom_Icecream]

Im on PC a bit. Dont really play many games thesedays. Just browse web. Is fun when slightly intoxicated.

[King_Templar]

Dunno what i am. Lets see:

-> I spend most of my time on computers
-> I really like programming. Javascript, HTML, C++, and my TI-83+ using the TI basic
-> Use big words, but not intentionally
-> In 9th grade, and I don't recall a single test that I have studied for...
-> Went to Camp Caen in Ann Arbor, Michigan. That is were i found StarCraft
-> Like modding SC almost as much as playing it ^-^
-> Don't think i have ever had a true "girlfriend." I have had friends that were girls, though...
-> I have a really hard time using bad grammar...
-> I am pretty good at spelling words correctly
-> Have no idea how Geno learned to spell...that form of government...but I know that it is a form of government. And how to pronounce it
-> Like these arrow things...
-> Speed a good deal of time at this website

So, you decide. ^-^

[bluemicrobyte]

ooo I'm a nerd! I spend 90% of my time at my computer and want to program video games!

[singo]

Id say the stereotype of a nerd is:

The stereotypical "nerd" Has thick glasses, tucks his/her (girl nerd...?) shirt in, spends every waking moment on the computer or studying things like rocket science, computer programming etc. Also, uses extremely complex/nerdish internet acrinymns and big words in every day vocab.

what what old chap? there's no need for that sort of thing here you know
and tuck your shirt in, there's no need to let standards slip.

*polishes monacle, smooths mustasche

[King_Templar]

and want to program video games!ME TOO! Oh, and do you guys think i'm a nerd? or whatever?

[xjudicator]

Not really, what do you look like? Based on your posts and sig/avy, my judgement rests.
