Quote:

Now if only I could save my game in real life and reload if I screw up, that would be great. That's why I game so much: with enough patience, I have infinite attempts to get something right. In the real world, you screw up once, you're done...

And as much as I respect your opinions on the matter, I still have a hard time believing it. It's a hostile world out there, full of people ready to run me over. I want to be loved, not hated. Unfortunately, it seems the latter is more likely to occur if I leave my "other physical/metaphorical obstacles". Is there a way to know when it's safe to come out?

You're gonna get hurt and rejected before you find the right person. That's just life. Everyone - even outgoing NTs - face this. But if you're not in the game, you're not going to win the prize.

Just don't obsess over it. Put yourself out there and look, while still enjoying life and being who you are.

At 74% nerd and 43% dork I have been married twice and have a beautiful son, but it didn't happen until I stopped perseverating on the negative.

I think it's possibly something to do with my fashion sense (it's missing, presumed very very lost) and lack of knowledge about popular culture... I have people writing me lists of films that apparently I have to see because *everyone* has seen them.

I am completely ignorant about popular culture too, I don't even know what people are talking about around here 1/2 the time.

As for my fashion sense, I just go to the H&M style guides and buy what they tell me to - problem solved - dorky problem, nerdy solution - it's good to be well-rounded... :wink:

Apparently, you have a Minor Threat and Radiohead shirt. Your fashion sense can't be all that bad.

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius.

I'm 43. I have a full-time job, I have children. I'm a responsible adult. And yet my mother and my cousin STILL pick out my clothes, because I just can't be bothered. Seriously, if I didn't have to answer 1,000,000 stupid questions about it, I'd probably shave my head. My own outsides just don't matter that much to me!

Don't forget Black Flag!

Not sure if shirts reflecting my love of music are cool though, seems like everyone wears TapouT and Affliction these days: impossibly lame if you ask me...

Ex-hubby. Yes. I am very experienced at organizing O'Reilly books for my nerd of choice's home library. I can cite by memory which animal is on which book. :wink:

Those are some hot skills. I know.

That has to be one of the geekiest things I have heard from a female (and Im studying to became an IT and talk to some of my female classmates). Is it wrong that I find it hot?

Moving on to the test:
Modern, Cool Nerd

Just went to see him in Hollywood a couple of weeks ago - he's on tour now, try not to miss it if he's in your area...

You don't have to sign up. That's all optional.

I can't do the giant arena ones. I curl up and rock in a corner. Smaller venues are sometimes okay but the noise level gets to me quickly. Every once in a while I'm pleasantly surprised, though. I saw Liz Phair a couple of years ago at a smaller venue and it was really enjoyable.
