• Nerd Grrl?

  NO WAY!
  So, yesterday I read Spideys entry on How to get a Date(nerd edition) and it was awesome. He had a link in there to his blog entry on nerds. (insert link here. Good grief three links just in the first paragraph. I feel like a link whore or something o_O;) Anyways, I clicked the link and proceeded to check it out. I love nerds. Honest to god, out of the 5 guys and 6 girls I have ever dated only three of them have not been total nerds. And those three were pretty damn close to being what you could consider a nerd. I don’t know why I like them so much, I guess they have always just fascinated me, and I felt a pretty deep connection to them in liking similar things and being able to understand their cute quirks. I think nerds are hawt.

  Basically the entry was about seeing if you are a nerd, it has a bunch of things that you add up points for and then you total it up at the end and see how you rate on the scale. I tallied up my score at the end, and to my surprise it was really high. I ended up going over it again with my roommate, because I scored higher than him (he is a complete nerd. Theres no romantic connection there, but he is a fucking awesome person and he’s way cool.)  and he thought I had gotten my score wrong. Well, it turned up had I miscounted and left something off. We counted it up again and my score ended up 30 points higher.

  I have ALWAYS wanted to be a Nerd Grrl. I never strove to be one, because I try to keep true to myself and the things I like, but always thought it would be cool if I was one. Sadly, no one has ever considered me one and I’ve never considered myself one.

  So, my total amount of nerd points was 168, which gave me this result:
  96-110+: Wow. You’re nerdtastic. You probably speak Klingon, have an internet girlfriend [yes. and an internet boyfriend too], find programming and math a great way to spend a Friday night, and suffer from a lack of vitamin D, since you never get any sunlight [well, yeah, but only because sunlight hurts*]. You also enjoy reading or writing fan-fiction [yup, both. and original fiction too, of course]. I highly suggest some sort of socialization. This much nerdery might bad  for your physical or emotional growth and well-being.

  My roommate got 134 after we recounted everything. He’s still in shock that I beat him, bwahahahahaha.

  Anyways, I never realized how much of a nerd I was until I did this. Seriously. There’s so many nerdy things I have done and still do and I guess I just never even thought about it. Maybe I’m one of those nerds who thinks they aren’t a nerd? Iunno. Needless to say, I’m tickled at this. I can honestly call myself a Nerd Grrl now!

  If people want me to (pft yeah, right) I’ll post everything I got points for up here in an edit. Hahaha. Funness.

  (*I’m very sensitive to light, sunlight especially, bright light gives me horrible migraines. I still go out and stuff, jsut not as often as most people do. )
