Not smart enough to be geek, but I have more social grace than a doofus.

Idiot savant best describes me.

I hate people who proudly call themselves any of those categories. I ESPECIALLY hate people who think geeks are "nerds with redeeming social value." No. If you lovingly title yourself any of the above, you have self-esteem problems. Shut up, move out of your mom's basement, go to Lord & Taylor and get a new wardrobe (one that doesn't consist of sweatpants and corporate-logo T-shirts), get laid, and spend some time off the computer.

3. I have a nice wardrobe, including some engineering company POLOs.

4. I have one pair of sweatpants, and no pajamas.

Everyonce in a while I do find myself humming the Bond theme. Especially when I do things that should probably have hurt me but didn't.

Nerd. No RPGing, card/comic book collecting, sci-fi-cons, etc. And I am slowly becoming too damned dumb to call myself a nerd.
