Do you like nerds, or are you one of the Cool People who scoff at us?

No "cool person" over here. I'm definitely geeky. But I do think it's more fun that way. It's so much better to just have a good time than to actually care what people think about you... so it may not win you any prom dates (not that I'm bitter or anything!), but it's still the best way to be in my opinion.

I love nerds. I am a nerd. My manager and I were having this conversation the other night about one girl we work with who's one of the Cool People and decided that we're all nerds cuz she is too damn cool for us...but we like her anyway most of the time :)

Katie is such a nerd.. did you see that realvideo, ohmygod, I was rolling on the floor laughing so hard. She scared herself when she saw herself on the monitor... oh lord... how hilarious.

Coming from one nerd to another... :)

Oh lord. Greg, remember on AIM Talk when I said like 85 times that you're mean to me and you insisted that you aren't? Care to change your answer? :)

Besides, at least I have the balls (figuratively speaking, of course... don't even go there Greg) to do RealVideos. I'm not like like, "Oh wah, it's too hard. Oh wah, I don't know how. Oh wah, I'll look dumb. Oh wah."

Wah.

I like nerds. I'd have to, cause I am one, so if I didn't I'd have to kill myself.

I'm not a cool person because I totally agree with you; They are boring. Like I read this story once that was about this kid and all he wanted to do was hang with the cool kids. Well, finally after a long ass time, they accepted him and he left his friends to go hang with the cool kids. But he soon found out that all they did was stand and lean against things because they knew if they were to do anything else they could very easily not look too cool.

Anyways..

I'm not exactally a nerd either though.. I mean, I'm closer to being a nerd, but I'm more in between.

Although I dislike categorizing (it can never be applied on me), I'd say I'm a complete nerd. (Yet, it's hard to tell, because a Finn like me doesn't even know all the meanings of the word "nerd"... I've always been a "nvssv" or a "nipo" :) ) And my friends at school are the most nerdish of the people there, I swear, and I like it that way. Nerds are the kind of people I hate the least.

Totally adore nerds. Especially nerds who are also trying to look punk, or punks who are inadvertantly looking nerdy. Like chicks with mohawks and glasses. That just totally knocks me speechless everytime.

I love nerds. I can't imagine dating a boy who isn't completely geeky in some way--the really into math or science, thinks in programming languages, obsesses over Star Trek kind of way. Part of the attraction is the brains (I absolutely can not stand boys who are stupid) and part of the attraction is that nerds are just...so...cute. I've never been attracted to boys who are traditionally attractive, they just don't do it for me.

I have been a enormous nerd all my life, but for some odd reason, now that I've entered high school...everyone admires me for doing Calculus and Number Theory in class and talking in Greek and knowing the root Greek words of everything! Also, I’ve made like millions of friends, really odd. But anyway, now these "popular" theoretically cute guys start having much predilection for me, and you know what? I still like nerds! I cannot stand jocks! They are SO STUPID! Anyway, whenever I see a geek or nerd or some smart guy, my heart just melts! Ahhh! I have a giant weakness for nerds! So, all you nerds of the world! Here's your chance! Send me all your pictures! I'll love you forever! Well, that’s it, thanks for listening to me!
