I am starting to think that I could possibly be a Nerd.
So this past Halloween I had a pretty basic idea of what I wanted to be. I wanted to be a karate dude, I had seen this awesome Karate tournament jacket in this thrift store, so i figured i could get a karate uniform and rock the Jacket. Little to my surprise when I went to find a karate uniform as costume and I went back for the jacket i could find neither. So I had to come up with a new costume. Strangely I came to a hard decision between two costume Roman Scholar or a Nerd. I ended up choosing the Nerd costume, and I ended up looking like a real nerd. Ok so why did I tell this story I because I am starting to think that I am a nerd. Either way I would have basically been a nerd for Halloween, with the other costume I just would have been an ancient nerd. And as I thought about it I was being what i simply might be, a nerd. Now what qualifies me as a nerd.
Qualifications
I am pretty clumsy, like all the time. At least three times this week, I have trip over slight cracks in the curb. But worse things have happened, and you can ask any of my friends. While I am quite smart I have no common sense what so ever. Also I am very socially awkward. In most situation, I usually do the thing that I am not supposed to do.
At times I look like Waldo with a beard, check out the picture above.
I read a ridiculous amount of Manga and Mahwa(Japanese and Korean comic books). Like I have to read the same one every week, and if they do not come out that week I feel like somebody did something wrong to me. I also love watching animes. As well as Amv's(Anime Music Videos). Whenever I go to the bookstore there are two places that I will usually end up, the manga section as well as the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section.
Most of the movies that I enjoy are action, sci-fi, fantasy, and kung fu. Like I loved Labyrinth, Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, The Matrix, Drunken Master, Lord of The Rings, Predator, Alien, Beast Master, Star Wars, Star Trek, The Blob, The Original Godzilla and other monster movies, The Willow, I Robot, Short Circuit, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, and the list goes on and on.
I watch Adult Swim which I do not care what anybody says is nerd central. My top shows on Adult Swim are Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Metalocalpyse, Venture Brothers, Boondocks, Squidbillies, and Stroker and Hoop.
Some of the music that I listen to is that strange music that no one would listen to. I even have the theme music from several cartoons and anime that I watch. I mean I have the Ducktales theme on my iPod, as well as other kind of whacky songs.
I have been to a midnight screening of Harry Potter movie, and also I have been to a midnight release of a Harry Potter book.
I know some random facts about some random stuff that I kind of really do not need to know about.
Back in the day I was huge into Greek Mythology. Any type of Greek Mythology book I could get my hand on I would read it. And I am still into though, now different types of mythology interest me. I use to watch Hercules and Xena all the time, like I rarely missed episodes.
What does not qualify me as a nerd
Never read Lord of The Rings tried but I was never able to do it. And there are a few other essential books that I have not read.
Have never been Larping before. Also I have never been to a convention before. There have been some that I have wanted to go to but never got a chance to go to.
Never played Dugeons and Dragons, World of War Craft, or many of those other MMO type games.
I do not know too much about computers.
Ok so do I qualify as a nerd? And If I do what type of nerd am I? I would say I am a Harry Potter/ Anime and Manga Nerd but I am not too sure.
Also this is not one of those things where I am trying to be a nerd because this is the cool thing to do these days, I have pretty much been like this for quite some time.
