Are we nerds?

[ntvflgirl]

Never thought of myself as one...but I wonder if others perceive us as nerds....And even if they do...do we care?
Just wondering

I was shocked when I saw how many young people are in this hobby, I dont think that anything that makes you think,Makes you a nerd, people are always amazed when they see a nice tank, and never say its uncool if they do they are jealous

I'm going to take the opposite side as plum70rt and say that most people perceive "nerds" to be anyone that takes enjoyment in learning new things and becoming more educated. At least that is the way it was when I went to school. If you were interested in studying and into things like science and computers, you were a nerd! Well, I'm well out of school now so I guess its ok to start learning and becoming interested in things like science and computers. I'm a big fat nerd

after thought:
If you are a member of a message board for fish tanks, YOU ARE A NERD!

 

[debbers]

I prefer to call myself "uniquely different"!!

 

[plum70rt]

you have to admit that all the girls are lookers though
go see how many chicks hang out on the so called cool boards

 

[slothy]

I am married to a computer geek and I just had to tape my sunglasses. So what does that make me?

Jocks only think about sports...Nerds only think about ---.

Speaking of which...Revenge of the Nerds is on the Comedy channel right now.

Well I've never been called a nerd in my life! I have a new job as student coordinator of petroleum engineering at the Unviersity of Oklahoma. Now a real nerd was taking me through the labs and discussing drilling "mud" , rock properties, anerobic zones, hydrocarbons, sand as fracturing material etc and when I got that glaze over my eyes he asked me if he was speaking "over my head" and I told him no I was just converting everything he was saying to the application it had in my saltwater fish tank! I think I'm about ready to start drilling....a little mini offshore into the dsb

 

[danrw84]

[j21kickster]

Nerd- sure- normal that too- but then again i dont really care what those nerd accusers say- b/c usually the only people who make fun of other people are the unintellegent ones- theres a thought-
