Rate Your Level of Nerdlihood

There's no step between Star Trek and Pokemon groupies?

Wish I knew what you were talking about...


*whistles Moonlight legend on my way out...*

I read tech manuals like others do crossword puzzles. How's that?

Depends on what you nerd out about, though.

I like math, I play MtG, and I regularly lack the understanding required to function in social situations.

And just because I tend to go all in on things... I'm having a break out of eczema on my eyes and mouth. Because really, what's a nerd without a facial rash?

And if you move my desk one more time I will burn this place to the ground.
(you missed the poll option about substaintial ability to make obscure pop culture references, with emphasis on the cult part)

I chose option 2. I identify as a dork waaay more than nerd.

The nerd spectrum is wide. I don't watch no Star Treks or Pokemons or Minecrafts, but I dork out in other ways that would make you renounce your half-baked pretensions to geekhood and take up the vow of football.

Yeah, I can relate to most of this, but I don't recognize MtG, as I don't play games (well, maybe when posting on forums - but not AW, of course!).

I remember things I regularly used in my college days, such as several of the opcodes for the 6502, and the no-op for the Z-80. Peeps thesedays probably don't even know what opcodes are.

Do I get no nerd cred for this, or is that geek thread? Language changes so fast quickly thesedays, I can hardly understand you whippersnappers.

"I am not a number, I am a free man!"

OP,

You do realize there are programs to help people like you return to reality. They cost very little and can help you become a fully functioning member of society again.

you've gotta be smart to be a nerd
which counts me out
even though I've got some common denominators

I'm waiting for the next Pokémon.
I'm waiting for the next Final Fantasy.
I'm saving for a PS4 an xBox One and I'd like a gaming Desktop computer.
DS and Vita are sitting to my left. Kindle to my right. Laptop is on my lap.
I watch Star Trek.
I go to conventions. I don't dress up but I read mangas and watch anime.
I play WOW.
However I do not like Minecraft.

Enough info?

I am so much not a nerd that I listen to Spanish language tapes when I'm not listening to Van Morrison and Thunderclap Newman. I dig for fossils, and know the Latin name of every flower in my garden. I sport white anklets and Converse All Stars! It doesn't take a screen to make a person cool! --s6

Yeah, if you could just move your desk that'd be great....

No I am not a nerd at all, as I don't like the things that are associated with 'nerds', some people might think I am weird though.

Of course she knows this.
We all know this, but when will they have a program for you?

I'm not even remotely a nerd, according to the poll choices, but I think it's only because most of that stuff (except for Star Trek) wasn't even around when I was in my formative years.

When I was a kid I was into all kinds of non-science fiction, non-fantasy, non-gaming activities that definitely qualify as nerd behavior: I had a stamp collection, I attended classes for gifted/advanced students, I always became abnormally excited on "library day" every week at school, etc. etc. etc. And oh, yeah...there was something definitely nerdy about those unbelievably old hand-me-down clothes that I had to wear during my pre-teen years. Good thing I eventually outgrew 'em!

I'm between Star Trek and Pokemon... I need another option!!! **cries**

I'm sorta nerdgirl. Sorta...
