I am Not a Nerd
 
I finished reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and I, Brianna Hannah Montana Rosanna Danna, who once suspected myself of some slight leanings towards nerdiness, am now certain that I am not, and never have been, a nerd of any stripe, polka-dot, or classic Burberry. Hear that, SteveDallas? I am NOT one of you!

So. How did all you nerds rope me in for so long? It's been---years!

I'm going to go to Uni now and smoke with the cool kids. Man, you people are nerds. Esp. you girls.

Juniper 09-09-2008 08:23 AM

Cool kids don't smoke. That's SO 90's. :D

Sundae 09-09-2008 08:27 AM

You are a nerd Bri.
This is a phase.

I think you need to step slowly away from that book and let someone with your best interests at heart take it away and burn it.

footfootfoot 09-09-2008 08:36 AM

You may not be a nerd, but you are certainly a nurd.

monster 09-09-2008 08:55 AM

you're a nerd groupie, that's whut :p

Undertoad 09-09-2008 09:24 AM

What happens when the cool kids hurt you again? You'll be right back here.

glatt 09-09-2008 09:30 AM

And we'll still accept her with open arms.

LabRat 09-09-2008 09:31 AM

:::Knowingly glances in Bri's direction remembering when she too tried to deny her own destiny:::

Go on Bri, spread your wings. We'll leave a light on.

xoxoxoBruce 09-09-2008 10:03 AM

And if you're gonna fly, wear a skirt. :blush:

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

(If you know where that quote came from... wellll....

"Rope you in"? I thought that was Ducks. But hey, if you have any bondage pix lying about, head on over to the NSFW thread.

Pico and ME 09-09-2008 10:16 AM

Only nerds like Star Wars???

Hmmm....

xoxoxoBruce 09-09-2008 10:22 AM

The first three* are OK, but only nerds like the last three extravaganzas.;)

No, but "like Star Wars" and "can immediately dredge up a quote from a movie released 28 years ago" are not the same thing. :angel:

Pico and ME 09-09-2008 10:46 AM

Well, I knew immediately where that quote came from...but it is probably the more dramatic of that movies scenes, so remembering it isnt that unusual.

Pico and ME 09-09-2008 10:47 AM

Not that Im not a nerd or anything.

lookout123 09-09-2008 11:46 AM

No. It's not true. That's impossible.



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*deep breath*HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

end of melodramatic fall.

you have no no idea the power i hold in my +10 nerd rays until you start talking star wars.

glatt 09-09-2008 12:24 PM

But I was going to Tashi Station to pick up some power converters.

Only a nerd would answer another nerd question like that. (and, BTW, yes, only nerds like Star Wars)


I'm putting black eyeliner on and I'm going OUT!

UT, my new cool friends will never leave me, NEVER! They said as long as I can pitch in for gas money and kiss this one guy...

Are you talking to me?

Is that a threat?

Wonderful girl! Either I'm gonna kill her or I'm beginning to like her.

Flint 09-09-2008 12:57 PM

My little nerdlings...

Simply remind our girl Brianna of her crippling dependence on nerd cock.

Clodfobble 09-09-2008 12:58 PM

You wanna know something?

I most certainly am a nerd... and I think Star Wars is retarded. All of them.

Trilby 09-09-2008 01:00 PM

oh, yeah. Nerd cock...





I'd really forgotten about that.

good news, though, Nerds! I start another English class (a poetry class) with----yeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss----------A PROF I'M HOTT FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, if you're referring to a singular item, namely, a particular movie, then the fact that this movie happens to have a plural noun in the title doesn't mean you suddenly have more than one movie.

So it would still be "is."

lumberjim 09-09-2008 02:11 PM

in your face, grammar nazi!

lookout123 09-09-2008 02:13 PM

Clodfobble is the cool person (ignoring her star wars ignorance) who pointed the cellar to these comics in some other thread.

I think you might be on to something here. It would certainly explain Bri's, ummm, fondness for college professors.

See? This sort of nerd-fuggery is why you're continually signaled out, SteveDallas. You just can't help yourself.

Report to Father Spankendezez!

Grammar corrections are NEVER a laughing matter in Brianna's threads.

Anyways I thought that might be what you were going for so I thought I'd one-up your grammar nerdiness by adding extra cluelessness and pedanticism

ZenGum 09-09-2008 07:49 PM

Not a nerd, not a nerd-lover, not a nerd-groupie? ... right until the next time your computer needs fixing or upgrading, then you'll come crawling back!

Aliantha 09-09-2008 07:53 PM

So what constitutes a nerd, and then what constitutes the opposite?

Can't you be a bit of both depending on the circumstances?

My son Aden has the reputation of being a 'cool nerd' at school because he's good looking, is the most popular boy (apparently) but also gets straight A's. He thinks it's pretty cool to be known as a cool nerd. Looks and brains and sensitive. That boy is blessed. (I hope they get that male contraceptive pill sorted out soon)

Don't forget the math homework.

spudcon 09-09-2008 09:26 PM

Clods and Bri are right, Star Wars movies are for nerds, and the first one was a big disappointment.

Cloud 09-09-2008 11:43 PM

so, you're a geek.

and Star Wars IS . . .

don't sigh and say nevermind to me, bub. if i miss a joke, and you can rub my nose in it, you'd better damn well do it. this isn't the junior varsity squad here. i expect 101% from you on every post. now, drop and give me 20, cupcake.

NoBoxes 09-10-2008 03:55 AM

The scriptures foretold all of this, the coming of the anti-nerd, ... Brianna!

DucksNuts 09-10-2008 06:09 AM

Seriously, no one likes Star Trek do they? thats just an urban myth.

Star Wars... good stuff. Battlestar Galatica...fucking awesome.

Trilby 09-10-2008 08:34 AM

I do not get the sci-fi worship thing.

I thought the Life of Brian was awesome. I thought Rocky Horror was awesome....there are those who would argue that RH was kinda sci-fi, but that's only if you can overlook Tim Curry and nobody can do that.

The whole point of this thread was that I never had to look up so many references in my life. (I mean, what the hell is "Zardoz" about?) YOU GUYS (smirk) would LOVE it. (the book---oscar wao)

That's Mr. Cupcake to you, Angel.

Juniper 09-12-2008 01:16 AM

I am a nerd. I'm just a specific genre of nerd.

I couldn't live without my computer and wifi. In fact, I bought a miniature one so I could take it with me everywhere I go (the Eee PC, I wuv it so much).

I am fond of nerdy comics like http://xkcd.com/

But

I do not like Star Wars. It makes me sleepy.

I do however enjoy Star TREK.

I like poli-sci. Don't like sci-fi/fantasy, but do like spec fiction.

Not all nerds are cast from the same mold! :D

Flint 09-12-2008 08:21 AM

Hmmm... I think you're a geek.

skysidhe 09-13-2008 12:10 PM

My funny bone is smiling.

You guys are a hoot.
