The word "Nerdy"

It seems that for many the word "Nerdy" has negative connotations. Often meaning weak, socially inept, lacking physique, wearing glasses, or being awkward with the opposite sex. While this may have been true in the past, like all other things, this too has changed. What I define as being nerdy is finding out what you love to do, and doing it without caring what other people think. Some of these things may include hobbies like playing video games, table top roleplaying games, or live action roleplaying games. It can also apply to people who love things pertaining to their academic standing. In our society we stress for our children to do their homework and be good students, but they are called nerdy if they enjoy it. There is a major problem here...What I suggest is....find what you love....do it.....who gives a s#%@ what other people think about it! If you can...surround yourself with people that support you in what you love to do, and care about you for what you contribute to this world.

I am a nerd in many different ways....and proud of my nerdy-ness....
