You can thank my girlfriend for the awesome title. Generally speaking, most people don't admit to being a nerd unless they're in the presence of fellow nerds. The best part is, a lot of the people you wouldn't think to be a nerd, are probably worse than you. We call these people "closet nerds", and I am one of them. There are many different types of nerds, and most people can identify with one of them. I grew up playing sports very competetively and was proud of my achievements playing soccer. What most people didn't know is when there was no soccer, I was behind my brand new Xbox 360 playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Of course you remember the World of Warcraft epidemic. People actually died because they had played the game for too long without eating. Now, I wasn't that bad, but I admit that I played quite a bit during my time in the Marine's. Now I say to you, if you are a nerd; be proud. There is nothing wrong with being able to list the chronological history of Star Wars, or build a PC flawlessly from scratch. I challenge you now, my friends. Below in the comments tell the world what your nerd type is, and be proud.
It is nice to know that I have a fellow nerd in English with me and also a fellow soldier. I think its is crazy how similar our life stories are. I grew up playing Baseball and Football, and whenever I had free time I would play Xbox. I think I am just a little more of a nerd than just playing video games because I can build a PC and tell you all about Star Wars. Anyway great post and keep up the great work.
