I take it a step further. I do a total of twelve days work a year (assuming twentyfour hours solid of work).

And then a year of similar hours before I will have mandate to corrupt the youth. Truly, the world of education needs me.

So you are going for a BEd too then?

Doctorate of Education, but I'm sure the premise is the same.

As far as I know in my very tired state, you get a fancy title, more money, and more schooling. What level of education do you want to teach in?

What a coincidence. I aspire to teach as well. I hope to become a professor of medieval history and/or language history. However, competition for these jobs is incredibly stiff, so I'll need more than a little luck to do anything.

Well you are much better off going for that then an elementary or middle school teacher.

I suppose. Plus, if I get really lucky and get tenure relatively quickly, then I'll be set for life. Basically.

Late High School. The age they're old enough to appreciate corruption and young enough to be corrupted.

kibberflabber.

puloniukitianizmentoping.

period.

lol. ill make sure not be corrupted too badly...

I'd like to do what my uncle did. he rpetty much went to college and never left, so they decided to just let him teach if he's never going to leave.

I would love to be a professional student, it takes a bit of money to stay in the system though.

Yay for being a minority! Everyone works to make sure YOU'RE satisfied because they're guilty for all of the crap they pulled on your ancestors! *coughspanishmissionariescough*

Missionaries suck, always trying to force their religon on you, even when it makes no sense at all.

religion: the greatest meme plague.

Login name is Bladedwind. It's my signature, and it's unique; VERY few people have this name and most of them stole from me.


I'm eighteen years old, and I currently have no job, although I'm applying. I play WoW, but because I have limited access to a good computer, I play roughly once a week. My interests are anime, manga, and video games, so it's pretty easy to classify me as a nerd.

Bladedwind=

I dunno, I've been a google-image-search mood.

Oh dear, thats scary looking.

At least it's not that demonic-looking easter bunny.

Frank scares me more.

And I think being a member of this forum classifies you as a nerd, so you need not worry. You are in good company.

Google searches for me turn up with interesting results.

Let's try to stay as far away from that as possible.

....Disturbing picture. But that's more of a geek then a nerd. Nerd's are too sloppy to even bother with a pocket protecter.




I actually look more like a hippie, or maybe a rocker. Long blond hair, a T-shirt, and some jeans and you've got me.

Oh, no, geeks are the ones with abnormal and generally cultish obsessions. It's the nerds who are too damn smart for their own good, and thus plain awkward.

Hippie= smelly, rocker=V.D.

You can be a smelly rocker, or a hippie with VD. Though I think it's difficult to get a VD if you're smelly prior.

Meh all (real) hippies are smelly, and I'm sure some have VD. But what annoys me about hippies is how they think that anything to do with a rodeo is evil. All the calves that are used are going to end up as steaks anyways... If anyone knows about the Cloverdale rodeo you know what I'm annoyed about, if you don't and don't know about why hippies hate Heiratige don't worry about it.

35 years old, former soldier in the US Army, now college student working on a BA in Political Science with a minor in Human Rights. Interests include: women, gaming, reading, women, violating social taboos, drinking with women, gaming with women, violating social taboos with women, reading with women...

i classify geeks and nerds under the term dork (the one meaning a slightly less popular child, not a male reproductive organ.) a nerd would be a smart dork, and a geek would be a not so smart dork. i fall under one of these categories, but i dont want to raise my hubris and call myself a nerd, or lower my self esteem and call myself a geek.

A dork is simply a sad, annoying person that society refuses to accept because he/she is so bizarre in everyone's eyes that the general populace stays the hell away. Nerds and geeks at lesat have their own group in the social heirachy.


At least that's view on the definition.


Strangely enough, I do listen to a lot of rock, Rae-Rae.

But that's the beauty. There is no "too badly".


Not the way we do it. I pay around $12k Australian for a year of full study (due to my Commonwealth Supported Position - something you get so long as your ENTER [your SATs] is high enough) and I don't actually pay that money.

I do, but only after my income raises to a certain point and then they just add a small amount to my taxes until my debt is repaid.


Time to be fair to those missionaries. They are the namesake of a stable favourite - despite all my efforts to have the position renamed the "Lie back and think of England".

Besides, dumb people aren't unique to religion. People just feel more superior when it's about religion.


Not just easy, but done!


I'll settle this here and now.

Geeks are like Nerds only they have zero social skills and/or marketable skills.

Nerds have a set of interests and generally limited social skills with those outside of their niche.

Dorks have marketable skills with few or no social skills.

Then there are the rare hybrids, people with social skills who have nerd interests and talents with zero marketable abilities. We have no word for them.


I see a homosexual zoophile in the making! Who's with me?!

uh... bladewind is!

Side note...
I am always endlessly entertained by people who quote a whole slew of earlier comments and then add thier own twist. It's what I would do if I wasn't so lazy.
Anyway...
I'm 18, trying to finish senior year, and making plans to head off to college to fill my mind with four years of garbage before I can go to graduate school. My interests are ridiculously varied and I don't feel like listing all of them. As far as my nerd/geek status...my screen name is Philosopher and I want to major in biology. You do the math.

If you want to major in biology college doesn't wound like a waste of time. Also is "Philosophy" your real name? That wouldn't be that bad, you could just go by "Phil"...it would make you better than the average Phil. If I adopt a cambodian perhaps I'll name him "Philosophy" ...or if its a girl "Polygamy" ("Polly" for short)

aw but i dont like math!

y'know, i never actually introduced myself...

I guess that makes me one. Although my social skills are there merely because I have boobs. Marvelous things, really. And then I have the marketing ability because of said boobs. And of course, I'm AZN, so I have to have some nerdy interests.

So we do have a name for these rare hybrids: Women.

Or transsexuals. Depends on person.


Nerdy transsexuals. Great. Now I'm putting bad images in my own head.

And everyone else's, thank you for that you killed off a good 10 mil of my brain cells.

i dont even think i had that many left to kill off.

thanks, now im brain dead.

Lol, <Insert generic insult to Grym's intelligence here>

i think i already deal with that, thank you.

dealth.

Dealth.. death+stealth?

So, ninjas serve out dealth on a nightly basis?

no, i just mispelt dealt and i though dealth was a cool word so i would post it.

That was random of you.

Where's the golf clap bunny when you need it?

Golf clap bunny was so cute, I want a poster of it...
Right next to my pirate flag.

golf clap bunny? you mean like the energizer bunny? or the literal personification of my ignorance

Roffle roffle, boobs are great.

I don't trust boobs. They always seem to have more going on than they let on. They're planning something I tell you!

Well I like to hang out with them but more the girl that owns them, the girl needs attention.

Its like that Twilight Zone episode. "To serve man" ...the boobs draw you in, and you're like "oh snap! boobs" then all of a sudden it hits you. "Its a cookbook! ITS A COOKBOOK!"
