I thank my mother for at least half of my nerdiness. She would get so geekcited when Monty Python, Star Trek, Star Wars, X files, Aliens, The V, Battle Star Galactica, STNG or Alien Nation would come on...it was infectious. I have carried that childlike excitement with me my whole life. I love most things Science Fiction.
Except the Matrix.

I love stuff. I have a plethora of interests. It just so happens that people who love the same stuff that I do identify with themselves as nerds or geeks. Does this make me a nerd? If they don't like all the same stuff I do, does that make them a fake nerd? If I don't have every fucky syllable of the first 50 years of Doctor Who memorized does this make me a fake nerd?
No.
ghobe' (Klingon for No. Pronounced ghhhhobeh)
For those who like to call others "fake nerds" because they don't speak enough Klingon or know what the fuck a parsec is or is not, I say "FUCK YOU". Yes, take that in. Absorb those fucks. All of them. You don't have the right to call anyone a "fake nerd". You love what you love, you don't need the whole fucking Star Trek box set and yippee doo the fucking dah glass collection from McDonalds to be a "nerd". Keep your judgments to yourself.
Now, roll for the intestinal fortitude to stand out in the crowd, love what you love with no fucks to give and Pray to Corellon that George R.R. Martin is not your GM.
