I just read this essay. I feel like it makes complete sense to me, but I'd like to read you're opinions on it forum.

The essay in question is very long, but I felt like it was a good read. In any case I plan on really opening my eyes when I got to school Tuesday. I'm going to look around and tree and see the world for how it really is and not just how I perceive it to be.

Nerds will rule the world one day.

It's silly how some people have to use pages to describe something that should be done in a sentence.

They already do.
Who do you think all of our senators and representatives are?

They aren't Nerdy enough, they were too close for comfort with SOPA and PIPA.

That'll last a few days at best, and then you'll slip right back into the mentality that life is unfair, because perception aside, it is.

I'm a nerd but I sit with the cool guys.
They'll never know that I sit on the computer 24/7 and do nothing productive

forget. That. I'm tired of conforming to everyone else. I'm just going to do my own thing and not give a forget.

this is why i love military academy so much
there's no "jocks / nerds / geeks / emo's", because we're all a unit and it pretty much divides into who's in charge and who's not.

I don't know if it will change in high school, but I haven't had any problem with being nerdy...

[Volko]

I'm all natural.  People like me for who I am: A positive attitude, comical, jovial, gamer.

[LizzyRascal]

I'm definitely not a nerd.

I hope you're 23.

It'll make that statement so much more hilarious.

Fame is corrupting. I know personally, because as soon as I became slightly more popular here, I started acting more like a egotistical jackass. I want to remain anonymous for as long as I can while I'm alive.
