Nerd

A nerd is NOT required to be socially awkward OR ugly. Ugly or socially awkward people are geeks, dorks, or dweebs. If your definition falls under any of that, leave this right now. A nerd is a person who has a high level of intelligence and puts most of it toward schoolwork. Usually nerds group together in clans of 5-10 and have fun. Nerds do NOT follow society's trends. Nerds fall into different categories: Gamer - Someone who puts most, if not all, of their time into playing video games and learning all there is to know about them. Usually they start off early in life, playing stuff like Mario, then they play more games in that series, eventually moving up to all genres, including shooter, platformer, and RPG. They can be found in large groups at conventions such as MAGFest and Pax East. Internet nerd - Internet nerds usually develop to be gamers, spending a lot of time on websites to kill time and listen to music. They generally know programming and how to fix their own computer. They tend to go to places like Memebase, being able to reference things that no one really knows, making it awkward when they do. Bookworm - This nerd spends a LOT of time reading. More than likely they're team Harry Potter. They sometimes obsess over books, buying costumes for the characters and going to all the midnight premieres. Some are so bent on reading all the time that they've had books confiscated in class.
