Being a nerd is a good thing IMO! It means that you are a genuine nice guy that is in to whatever thing you're into that society deems "uncool" be it video games, star wars, Anime, Fantasy, D&D, and whatnot. You don't care what they say. You don't care that some people may look down on you for it. Fuck them. You're having fun doing it. You're surrounded by others that are having fun doing it and are having fun with you. You don't need to be "popular" or "cool" because those people aren't genuine anyways. They aren't the kind of people you want to associate with. They're assholes that will turn on each other at the drop of a hat. You don't need that. You've got real friends here. You've got genuine friends in your "nerd bracket" so to speak. So why do you need to be popular or cool(which are just illusions anyways)? You don't. You're a nice guy that is having fun doing what he loves and nobody can take it away from you.
That's what being a nerd is to me.
NERDS!NERDS!NERDS!NERDS!
Swear To God, I was going to do the Revenge Of The Nerds thing to him, heh.
