I yam what I yam. People constantly call me a hippie, but I consider myself me.

Yes I guess I am nerdy. 20,000 comic books and old toys most likely puts me in nerdom by default!

I have strong nerd tendencies - hard science major, love of sci fi and fantasy fiction, lover of bizarre trivia. However, I'm an extrovert who enjoys death metal and kickboxing, so my nerdism is somewhat tempered.

I find that most all the things I'm interested in enough to talk about just stifle conversation. Then there's the sideways look, and everyone thinks I'm a nerd.

No, but whats the big deal really anyway?

I used to do competitive lightsaber dueling..

I have become my own nerd. Well, sort of. I'm a nerd in many good ways. Even though I'm a former body builder I would make a good mad scientist.

I've been a nerd/geek for as long as I can remember and will continue to be so until the day I die.

I am definitely a nerd.

Proud to be a nerd!! Life is so much more interesting when you have endless curiosity about the world and the universe.
I know what TARDIS means, what it is and who 'drives' it. I know who said "I'm giving it all she's got", what color a Vulcans blood is and what Klingons evolved from. I know what delta v is and why a falling object is measured in ft per second per second.
All kinds of bits of knowledge stuffed in my head helps explain things in a logical manner while still allowing for flights of whimsy and boundless imagination. I can soar amongst the stars, watch a supernova, experience a starbirth or drift in clouds of hydrogen in my head.
Being a nerd is a wonderful thing.

I like a few "nerdy" things like comic book characters/movies, sci fi movies, some anime (mainly Dragon Ball, but know about others), play and watch video games.

I self identify as a cantankerous curmudgeon.

I found out I am often a nerd by accident.. I didn't mean to be a nerd it just came over me !

"A nerd is a person seen as overly intellectual, obsessive, or lacking social skills (introvert). Such a person may spend inordinate amounts of time on unpopular, little known, or non-mainstream activities, which are generally either highly technical, abstract, or relating to topics of fiction or fantasy, to the exclusion of more mainstream activities. Additionally, many so-called nerds are described as being shy, quirky, pedantic, and unattractive." Wikipedia

I had to look up the definition before answering this and another question arose: What is an intellectual? I would say in intellectual uses critical thinking and reason as guides and don't take things at face value. Okay, I fit that. Unfortunately, being on this site an inordinate amount of time puts me in the main part of the definition although it has helped overcome the shy part. However, weather can no longer be used as an excuse so I need to disengage from the 'nerdy' part and get involved with more or our areas "mainstream" activities.

I worked in a big retail store in the electrical dept...we sold computers, camera's, tv's and all the white goods...and I was an advisor...I have always been into computers and camera's and my friends were the same so when I started working there was surprised that the collegues knew virtually nothing about the products they were selling to customers...I made many friends there because if they were looking for something or didnt know what they wanted I would give them good honest advice on the right product...I helped people when their computer went on the blink and if I could fix it I would...I retired from the store 2 years ago and sometimes pop in to get stuff and am told customers are still looking for my advice...I consider myself a normal person but everyone else thought I was a geek...I take it as a compliment..

If intelligent, political activist and social justice warrior is considered nerdy? No one ever called me nerdy. Trivia buff.

Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Taken. Nix the Makeup, Hair dye, Nail Polish, and let the sun do the rest. Anyone can find fault in anything and they are usually trying to disclose their shortcomings. Let the sun shine upon you and do it all naturally.

I identify as both with a human sub classification

I'm not gonna fall for your nerd trap! LoL

I'm white AND nerdy!

I am a technologist who writes about tech. So I am a pro nerd of the tech kind. However there are many non pro nerds that out nerd me.

Nothing wrong with being a nerd. Especially when you have a dirty mind to go with that. ??

I'm a big ol' nerd. It's even in my bio! ?

I consider myself a layman nerd. I love science & science jokes & memes. Still love Science Fiction. Believe intelligence is sexy. don't really have the education or training to take nerd-nes to its heights, tho!
