Where BEING A NERD is SOCIALLY ACCEPTED!

“The brainiest kids” ever since that little one who knew all the Gods and Goddesses of Mount Olympus. (But that one was boring, ha d afunny fringe and did not have any friends. At least I have ONE other “brainy” friend – see picture below.)

Nerds

This weekend I found a place where you can meet other NERDS and you would sooooooo blend in. This place is packed with these sort of people. 100% Star Wars lovers, stamps collectors, chess masters and I am sure when they were kids they had the whole collection of the Dino-Puzzles. People with a High IQ and a slow-functioning ‘social gland’, which causes their main challenge in life: running low in that hormone that regulates the social interaction with other mortals (and that’s why they become IT engineers, lawyers and accountants)

This paradise, this dark place, where NERD is COOL and thick glasses are SOCIALLY ACCEPTED is called: IMAX!!!

An amazing experience to watch The Polar Express in that huge screen. Although, the nerd inside my brain or that little voice we all have in our heads was all the time whispering to me how cool it would have been seeing Princess Leia Organa or Obi Wan Kenobi fighting against the forces or evil.

Anyway. First time at the IMAX. GREAT experience. I have to be honest and I have to say I am scared to go to the one in Singapore now. What would I find in there!!?? Ay Ay Ay, Dios Mio!!

(Disclaimer: This intended to be a funny posting. I hold no bad feelings or harmful thoughts against IT engineers, lawyers and/or accountants. Although, sometimes we gotta admit they are pretty weird, aren’t they! Plus, HEY! I live with
a lawyer - love’ ya!)

  • I took the GEEK test Michal and it only gave me 6.9 % (Geekish Tendencies). How about in your end?

    For our information:

    GEEK (n. Slang)
    1. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
    2. A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy.
    3. A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.

    (OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!)

  • To pay my dues: I took the test some time ago.
    I scored around 25% => between "total geek" and "major geek" (ok ok I know you all knew that ;-) (but at least I don't use that silly Star Wars terminology)

  • Ok. Dues paid! 25% is not that bad!
    PLUS, it is true, you have not use the Star Wars terminology... yet
    As in the movie Bridget Jones: We Like You Just The Way You Are! :)
