Nerds
Would you consider yourself a nerd just because your a gamer? And is it fair to be labeled as such in modern society when nerd is such a negative connotation? Do you care? I'm sure a lot of people have had trouble being a "nerd" in their life for loving what they do. I know I have. I personally have learned not to care about what others think of my hobby and my preferred pass time. Tell me your stories and opinions.

I'm almost a grown ass man and I custom made a light saber at Downtown Disney. I wear shirts with obscure references to older games and I feel good about myself when only select people can relate. I play Fallout PnP, which is DnD without the negative social stigma. I am currently trying to teach myself a coding language. I spent as much time reading Star Wars/Asimov as I do socializing. I play more videogames than any other kid on my swim team. I am a nerd. I have a passion for videogame. I'm also a gamer or a geek. Even though the majority of my time is spend playing videogames or working out, I'm still a nerd and f'ing proud of it. Being a nerd is not a bad thing. It's not 1985 anymore. We are celebrated and cherished as the bringers of a new age of technology. We are powerful now.
