Hello! :D Amelia0308 here!
I'm prove to prove that being considered a "nerd" is not necessarily a
bad thing! First of all, here's a somewhat comical definition of the
word as stated by the Urban dictionary (which I do not recommend as a
very reliable source for useful information except for in this one
special case :3)
One whose IQ exceeds his weight.
Does that sound like a bad thing? LOL! I think that if you have a high
IQ, that's not a bad thing! Now, I don't know what it would take for me
to be able to have one that exceeded MY weight, but a high IQ certainly
sounds like a plus to me! :D
Here are some usual hobbies for those considered to be "nerds" as stated by Wikipedia, the famous, free online encyclopedia! :P
Intellectual, academic, or technical hobbies, activities, and pursuits, especially topics related to science, mathematics, engineering, linguistics, history and technology.

None of those sound negative to me, despite how much they may be looked
down on by the "popular" group. In fact, nerds sound like they are the
SMART crowd, the crowd that's actually going to go somewhere in life!
To finish this post, I just want to share a quote that I have no clue
who thought of. My older brother told it to me, and I don't know where
he got it either.. perhaps FrostWolf will remember..? anywho, here it
is:
Be careful when you criticize nerds - you may end up working for one someday.
That is a VERY logical statement! You have to be pretty intellectually
advanced to run your own company that has the ability to hire and fire,
and to make or break someone's paycheck at the same time.
So, next time someone calls you a nerd, say "Thank you" C:
Thanks for reading!
I'ma nerd.. :P. Computer whiz and high IQ scores and above grade level writing scores... :D Yay me
ReplyDeleteHeh-heh....I'm a MAJOR nerd.
ReplyDeleteYay for nerds! ^.^ I think it's a compliment rather than a put-down :P
ReplyDeleteWow! I never knew that!
ReplyDeleteFunny... I wonder why people use it negatively if that's what it means?
But, if that's what a nerd is, I'm not one. I'm pretty brainless and the least-technical person ever XD
