In my high school, there was only 1 jock in any of the honors classes. Most of the jocks weren't even in the matriculation classes; they were all stuck in the remedial classes.
One of the jocks from my high school works at the local McDonalds as a cook. I've seen another jock working as a cashier at Best Buy. Having a job is always good, but I can assure you, these jobs are not summer jobs.

I don't fit most of those nerd things, but I'm still classified as a nerd. I think it's mostly based on appreciation of knowledge. If you enjoy being smart, you are a nerd. If you love computers, you're a nerd (no excuses).

Oh! Then you are a nerd AND a fool!

It is pronounced "parabola", not "perrabla"
I can proudly wear my Science Olympics t-shirt in public
I believe that physics can be applied to EVERYTHING
I enjoy it when women talk nerdy to me
pie is NOT exactly 3.14 and Newton is my hero
my name is Trogdor and I am a Geek!
thank you

Excellent! very poetic.


I'm a square by the way. (and part other "nerd counterparts" so to speak).
Personally, I think everyone here is pretty cool. Very IN (heh, very hip word eh guyz? [oh, the "z" instead of an "n" another hip thing]) :approve: :-p
