I think I might not be a nerd.

James and I were talking today about the possibility of me not being a nerd. I've sort of assumed for years that I was, and I may have been at some point, but I'm pretty sure I'm not anymore.

A list of reasons I may not be a nerd:
I don't like anime.
I don't like Star Wars.
I don't like comic books.
I don't like Comedy Central.
I don't like Adult Swim.
I don't have terrible acne.
I don't have poor posture.
I don't play MMORPGs.
I'm not afraid to talk to people.
I'm not a weak nancy boy.
I'm not a computer science genius.
I don't wear oversized t-shirts.
I don't have a carabiner clipped to my belt loop.
I don't wear jean shorts.
I don't talk about how 1337 (or leet, or elite... get it?) I am.
I don't love fake breasted porn stars.

See what I mean? I'm not sure if I used to be, and now I'm not, or I never was. Maybe what a "nerd" is now means something totally different than being a Gen X nerd. Or maybe I'm just "old indie rocker dude", and I always was... I don't fucking know. Based on my above list, I think I hate nerds as much as I hate hippies. Wow.

Also, don't forget to fly your flag today! It's National America Day!
