Test FAIL

Jan 21, 2011

Okay, so that test I just took totally missed what I really am.  The numbers they came up with were very very close to split right down the middle: half nerd, half geek (everyone has a bit of a dork in them, right? At least if Sydney White is to be believed.)  But, as seems common with this site, people don't think of a third, more balanced option.  Also, what's the difference between "Pure Nerd" and "Tri Lambda" material, semantically?

Whatever.  What I'm trying to say is, yes I'm a nerd, and I'm a geek, but not 100% either.  More importantly, I'm still tons of fun to be around, whether you're nerd, geek, both, or neither! :D

Test FAIL
more importantly, you're the kind of guy who writes a journal on a dating site disputing the results of his nerd/geek test

(don't take that from me. i just spent 20 minutes drawing top hats on other people's shitty anime doodles in order to make them angry)

An image of TheAdmiralB cricket is way weirder than I thought...oh, and embrace the geek and nerd! Did you read the latest Trends article? If the guys' photos have a similar outcome it would mean you should play up the fact that you're a geek/nerd/dork/what-have-you.

TheAdmiralB commented on Jan 21, 2011

i think that is only mild weird.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

Yeah, she gets way weirder than that.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

hey now hey now. i am only medium weird at my very worst/best.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

*cough*

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

:/

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

What, what happened?

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

had a stroke

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

Oh, I'm sorry, do you need to talk about it?

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

that is a cruel joke, john

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

What joke? I just thought you might want to talk, get some things off you're chest. But I can see your brain is a little addled right now, so maybe we'll save that conversation for another day.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

oh okay. earlier while i was out i had to buy wry some insulin and the pharmacist looked really annoyed by everything i said to him and i don't know what his problem was but it really bothered me and so when he was getting ready to hand me the bag with the receipt stapled to it, i smiled a really big ridiculous smile and didn't put my hand up until he looked at me in the face so that he was forced to muster a courtesy smile back and i walked away feeling like i won a battle.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

I never knew wry was diabetic. My step-dad was diabetic. We pulled the plug last year after he had numerous small strokes in each hemisphere of his brain and several larger strokes in his brainstem that would have left him a vegetable. Not that the diabetes caused the strokes, though, it was staph that spread from his arm to his heart, then ate his heart valves, and spread to his brain from there, all because he'd started doing drugs again and was using dirty needles and sharing needles.

I like your story better.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

he's not diabetic. he just loves the taste of insulin.

okay no i'm lying. he's type 1. sorry to hear about your stepdad.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

also i had to drop my kids off today and when i came out of the building a car was shining its lights right in my face and i couldn't see but i heard a lady say 'oh, sorry' and then the lights went off and i said 'it's okay. you're fine' back to her before i realized that she was talking to someone on her cell phone and not to me at all and i felt stupid and briefly considered pretending that i was also talking on my phone but i didn't even have it in my hand so i just looked at my feet and walked very quickly away.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

aren't you glad you asked if i wanted to talk

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

Yes. Keep going, I'm still listening.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

You have the best stories.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

just one madcap adventure after another right

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

I think it's more in the way you tell them.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011

Like, you could probably talk about sitting on the couch eating cheese doodles and make it sound amazing.

A former user commented on Jan 21, 2011
