And I don't mind your lies so keep on talking." - Don't Need the Sunshine, Catatonia

Just a little bit crazy.
Doesn't want to kiss frogs; faithful to her Dulcine[o]. [NBSB PRIDE!]
Extremely socially inept - uncomfortable with the idea of meeting new people. Would rather curl up with a nice book than go out clubbing.
Loyal to the friends she already has. Cause they're great. [Most of the time. Hehe.] ;)
Usually highly opinionated when it comes to music/film/other media, but her lack of social awareness is disgusting.
A fool for Jesus Christ.
Here's her multiply, friendster, and email. [Has myspace, but it's as good as dead. Still contemplating on whether or not she should resurrect it.]

I call this post: Waka-waka-doo-doo-yeah! (BGmusic: nothing. My roommate's sleeping. The wild thang stayed up all night partying. Hehe.)

What's the difference between a nerd, a geek, and a dork?

I saw this on Yahoo! and I had to check it out. I have my own definition of nerd/geek/dork, but first, I'll summarize what Yahoo! said:

NERD

people of above-average intelligence
place little importance in their appearance
aware of their status, but they don't mind
take pride at the idea of being a nerd, because it means that they're "smart and not wrapped up in superficial worries."

GEEK

like nerds, geeks are smart
tend to focus on technology
as Urban Dictionary explains, these are the people you make fun of in high school and later work for as an adult

DORK

"the biggest insult of the three"
"stupid" people
dorks assume that they're cool
and they smell

Now how's that for discrimination? I am appalled. As a self-proclaimed dork, I cannot allow this definition to be accepted. So here's my differentiation [the right differentiation] of the three freaks. Just to clear things up. Ahem ahem.

NERD

people of above-average intelligence [Yes, yes, it's true.]
people whose lives revolve around school/work/etc [these freaks actually enjoy studying]
and yes, they are generally unattractive. Bwahahahahaha. Kidding. [Or maybe not.]

GEEK

not necessarily smart, but they usually are
generally not athletic
enjoys [and more often than not, obsessed with] "geeky stuff" - video games, comic books, anime, the internet, etc.

DORK

has odd interests, and is often silly at times, usually uncool [but in this exceptional case, manages to stay - teehee - cute]
while old school geeks and nerds tend to continue to accept an "outsider" status and maintain an elite club mentality amongst themselves, dorks generally tend to do the opposite
but they are very socially inept

My family is composed of all three. We're all combinations of the three, but we have our dominant characteristics. My dad is a nerd, all the way, and so is my sister. I'm the dork, my brother's the geek. And my mom's none of the above - she's a [gasp] social butterfly. I guess all families have to have a freak. [Peace tayo, ma!]

Anyhoo... Watching Strangerhood. Bwahahaha. I heart Wade.
