Damn Right!
Aug. 25th, 2005 01:44 pm| Modern, Cool Nerd 65 % Nerd, 73% Geek, 47% Dork |
| For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd. Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eeked out for themselves a modicrum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)! Congratulations! |

I laughed myself silly at the "Can you quote a film from start to finish...?" and one of the options was "Yes, without even watching it." I started reciting to myself at that point. I'm now at:
"She got out."
"Doesn't matter"
"The informant is real."
"Yes."
"We have the name of their next target."
"The name is 'Neo.'"
