Read it, and tell me which one you are (if you comply with the protocol).

Crapsticks, I'm apparently a nerd.
Well, on the bright side, at least I'm not "gangsta", or anything creepy like that.

Ghazal said...

Same here. Well, I think I am a nerd-geek hybrid. Ironic how I would be the freakish one...

Jessica said...

I'm still a geek.

Ghazal said...

But you are beyond the regular level of intelligence!

Jessica said...

Nobody said a geek couldn't be smart.

Ghazal said...

I know, but nerds are the exceptionally "smart" ones.

Jessica said...

I'm not exceptionally smart.
And also, your title rhymes(it's a couplet!), but you spelt "differentiate" wrong.

Ghazal said...

Whoops. For both. See, that is why listening to music and writing is not a good idea.

Jessica said...

Since when?
I do that all the time!
Music improves your brain.

"Geeks may speak in detail about their own interests, unconcerned with whether or not you truly comprehend it."

ask anyone of my friends from RL and they'll agree this is totally me :P

"Their interest, be it a TV show or movie or board game or comic, probably details how humans are evolved creatures in the future, with a better understanding of life and the universe. So don't go acting better than a nerd or geek, because chances are they'll deem you an non-evolved, primitive form of human life"

I don't know why, but I simply can't stop laughing at this! And the "geek habitat" has given me an idea of what to do over the long weekend. I know I have a spare graphics card and monitor around here somewhere...

Ghazal said...

I think we have all benefited deeply from this article.

Jessica said...

Erm, right.

Ghazal said...

Well we have!

Jessica said...

Not really.

Ghazal said...

Can you stop doing that?

Jessica said...

Doing what?

Ghazal said...

Contesting everything I say! it gets rather irritating.

Jessica said...

You forgot to capitalize it.
Sorry, I can't resist.

Ghazal said...

Ugh! Stupid typos! I really wish there was an "edit" feature...

Jessica said...

I know, I was used to my "magical powers of comment mergingness..."
Do you even remember that?

Ghazal said...

Yes, yes I do.

Jessica said...

Good, 'cause I'm surprised /I/ even remembered it.

Ghazal said...

Meh, it was on your blog after all.

Jessica said...

But it was on the old one!

Ghazal said...

So? What difference does that make?

Jessica said...

Well the old one is, well, OLD...and the only people on it were me, you and Derek/his friends.

Ghazal said...

Like Ian.

Jessica said...

And possibly Kevin.
