          You know Tassadar, you really shouldn't be so hard on yourself, man. Maybe you ought to go see a doctor or a counselor in regards to your esteem issues. Whatever you decide, I'm sure we'll be behind you all the way!

              I've been tempted to buy quite a few things on that site, but my cash reserves disagree with me...

                I think i would be classified as a nerd. That's the definition others would give me, but I am neutral on it.

                I have to say that being political does not make one a Nerd. Hippies are political, tree-huggers are political, but neither group is nerdy.

                I think socially aukward, somewhat introverted, immune to fashion, with abit of obsesiveness (specially over things imaginary such as sci Fi, comic books, Fantasy, TV,in short, anythign other than sex, alcohol, parites, and sports) makes you somehwat nerdy. I would add that one needs to be sexually akward, incapable of sports (lacking good whole body coordination, no matter how good your thumbs are) to be a full nerd.

                  Yeah, a fair bit of that covers me. Geek.

                    What is exactly the difference between a nerd and a geek?

                      Nerds are the people who squeal when you talk to them.
                      Geeks are the people who can talk to you if they want to.

                        Geeks aren't as socially inept as nerds, but otherwise share most of the same characteristics.

                        I'm more geeky than nerdy. I'd hardly be nerdy at all if I were able to dance while sober...

                            Also, Nerds also hold all academic persuits as incredibly important, including stuff they don't care about.
                            Geeks tend to only care about stuff they like.

                            Nerds usually consistently get high marks in all classes, geeks frequently have high marks in their areas of interest and average/low otherwise.

                              definitely a Geek, not a nerd.

                              Geeks! Geeks! Geeks!

                                Thanks, guys. But I imagined it in a different way. I thought a nerd was someone interested in acquiring knowledge, whereas a geek was someone crazy about computers, but in both cases at the expense of social skills and interaction, of course.
