Didn't mean to offend anyone just trying to send your message along to a few of my friends who were the reason for this post. Now they want me to stop explaining to them how wrong there definition of nerd is and showing them all of your responses I think they get it.JMV said:Age: 18
Race: Caucasian, I guess.
Height: 1,77m (which Google tells me is about 5'10...)

I (obviously) like videogames, I'm in college studying Informatics Engineering (computer science, for all of you who've never seen it be called this) and I love all sorts of "nerdish" stuff. However, with that being said, I don't really know what being a nerd is to you, in the sense that everyone has their own, very defined perception of what it is and to some it's offensive, while to others its just a way of defining one's tastes and/or quirks. I do like being called a nerd, though, and it sometimes amazes the people who call me one that I'm okay with it, as if being a nerd is the equivalent of having a massive, pus-dripping tumor on your face.
So, yeah... I'm a *snarky* nerd? I don't know and don't care, as long as there are people like me or people who can relate to me and vice-versa. And I hope all of this filler text has helped you know me a little better than you would with just knowing how much I weigh or what my skin color is.
Yeah *high five, up high, down low, to the side, to the other side, in the hole* and if it makes a difference I'm just trying to prove to some of my ill-informed friends that there exists in great abundance racial diversity and at least a new sense of the word nerd for them.TheSilverTeen said:Woah, You're Black? Me too *high five*NotSoLoneWanderer said:My friend minutes ago said "You're not the only N**** on this shit?" So I'll count that as a sign of change.Connosd said:I'm sorry but I doubt showing them all of this is going to change their opinions on us being skinny white nerds with no social skills and acne.NotSoLoneWanderer said:This is more to show my some friends that not all escapists are skinny white nerds with no social skills and acnetokae said:Age: 21

That's pretty cool I've always wanted to be able to draw but beyond some decent sketching I'm not very good.ElektroNeko said:Age:20
Race: Frisian (Northern Dutch. Mostly known for being quite pale, having blond hair, and turning red very easily by sunburn and cold. Although I'm not a pure Frisian: I have brown hair and I'm not that pale.)
Height: 185 cm
Weight: Seriously, I have no idea.
Furthermore, I've got quite some synthesizers (even a cool keytar), vintage gaming consoles and other older audiovisual stuff over here. I also frequently walk around on the street with a big boombox on my shoulder :3. And to add even more weirdness on top of it: I'm a girl X3
And I also love to draw ponies. You can find my deviantART over here: http://elektroneko.deviantart.com
I only know how to play Fur Elise on the piano. Don't really have a way to practice but sometimes my gym teacher will let me play the piano in the gym.Chemical Alia said:Age: 29

Also female.
I'm a professional artist and I work at a game studio. Besides games, my other interests are photography, art in general, classical piano and languages. I feel like I'm pretty nerdy, but people always seem so surprised when they ask me about what I do, or when they see I'm going up to that "weird computer games programming" floor in the elevator at work. :C
