Does star trek, star wars and gaming make you a nerd poll

I love star wars with a passion, I love gaming with a passion, I love star trek with a passion. I think its cool to overclock, I think it's cool to tweak games and files, I love technology. "It's my life"

when I was just a kid it was not cool, do you think times have changed?

 

I fail to see why something/someone that is 'nerdy' cannot also be 'cool' - but then I'm also a self-described geek's-geek who once ran a Mind's Eye Theater LARP for over a year and regularly plays/runs tabletop (in addition to playing/modding games and more 'conventional' activities). That said, I'm not fat/full of pimples, not a virgin, I've got a plenty of friends -and, no, they're not all sweaty, unwashed guys-, don't live in the basement, have a social life, etc. - then again, I also guest DJ at the local goth club so I might not be the sort of 'cool' you're going for.

EDIT:

Not caring about what other people think is cool or not really helps, particularly if you can find a group of people who share your mindset.

 

No. But now the bullies in school have graduated to prison, the guys who got all the girls are married and have fifteen kids. And the girl you had a crush on looks like cheap 40 year old 's mother.

And you're still sane and have your health.

 

Odds are good that if you have more than 5 or 6 posts on here, all of them looking for help in solving an issue with your computer, you're a nerd..........who gives a what anyone else thinks???

Now, I'm off to play some more MechWarrior, SWTOR, Skyrim or Star Trek Oniline (if I can ever get it patched on this lousy connection out here) so dueces.............

 

The new cool is just being yourself.
But i think this belongs to the off topic thread.
