Nerds Nerds Everywhere!

I’m a nerd and you’re probably a nerd too. I mean here you are reading opinions and observations of a 21-year old student when you could be reading something more interesting on the internet, like CatDog. Now I like all nerds everywhere, but since nerdom has become so popular over the last few years, I find myself forced to break nerds down into categories within themselves, sorry but in order to keep track of the ones I like and not-like so much, this had to be done.

Computer Nerd: Knows anything you’d need to know about hardware and software. Very cool to talk to even though you may not understand everything their talking about. These nerds somehow have maintained a way to download music/movies without destroying their computer with spyware.

Video Game Nerd: Think the computer nerd but less knowledgeable, more annoying, and with 100% more Red Bull. People that know games and games only are annoying because they tend to swear by one game for years at a time (I’m talking to you Mr. IreadthisblogwhileSteamupdatescounterstrike). Video game nerds ages 16+ can be cool sometimes, because they maybe able to calm them selves down long enough to have a conversation with. When they’re younger they tend to be similar to cocaine addict; jumpy, mood swings and talking way too much are ways to spot this type of nerd.

Book Nerd: Elitist to the end. They think that just because they read books they’re more read than you! Can you believe that? These nerds can be spotted by their pretentious looking glasses and possibly a sport jacket with a t-shirt underneath with jeans. Unless you also consider yourself a book nerd, you may want to avoid this person at all costs, they’ll only make you feel worse about your own life.

Super Hero/Comic Book Nerd: The absolute most annoying of all nerds everywhere. The first thing you’ll notice about this kind of nerd is that they’re OLD, very very old. Alternatively they could be only 35-40 years old, but look like they’re 70. What makes these guys so annoying is their attention to detail and their ability to start a conversation with themselves about anything at all. You may once accidentally ask this nerd a question that could be answered in a sentence or two, well you better have prepared yourself for a 45 minute conversation, because that’s what you’re going to get. That’s if you consider a conversation to be him talking and you responding with ‘yeah’ and ‘sure’ for 45 minutes.

I think that may have come to my mind because I secretly want to be that person. But that's just between you and me ; )
