As of recently(and I can say recently, since it's pretty much a subjective word) , I've got a fair few comments (not comments as in the comment feature, as in people saying) that I'm "pretty nerdy"(maybe they said I was a pretty nerd, I'm not too sure [still, it's a nice comment(Not according to Definitions.com, though)[Yeah, I like parentheses])]).

Anyways, it got me thinking, isn't everyone a nerd really?

Now, let me explain. By society's definition, I guess I would come under the term "nerd". I mean, I like nerdy things. I like fantasy, Sci-Fi(especially Sci-Fact), video games, D&D (Goliath Warden), reading. You know, "nerdy" things. I even fit the stereotype. Fat, large square glasses (even though I normally wear my small ones) and the worst skin you'll ever see. Ok, maybe not the worst if you, I don't know, seen burnt flesh. But it's pretty bad.

But the thing is, I've got a different idea as to what a nerd is. But there you go, saying "Channa! You can't just make up definitions! That defeats the whole point of language! Also, why am I shouting! This isn't worth being all that worked up for!".

But, I mean, nerd is such a hard thing to define. It's so specific, yet so general. I mean, have you seen some nerds? I mean, what qualifies being a nerd? Playing video games? Playing video games on a PC? Watching people playing video games? Watching people talk about video games and how they can grow and change? Some might say it's the last one. Some might say it's all of them. What I'm trying to say is that there's no real consensus on what a nerd is, really. So I'm just going to take advantage of the situation, and just make up my own definition.

Now, onto my main point (finally).

(Inspirational music starts here. Try to sync up the music with this bit)

Being a nerd...isn't being simply just liking video games or movies or Sci-Fi or bad skin. It's about getting this intense joy of something. It's being passionate about something. Loving it more than anything else in the world.

You can be the most jockiest, buffest, not stereotypical nerdiest person ever, and I'm still as likely to call you a nerd. Just because you really really like football. Or hand-leg ball.

I think we're all passionate about something, at least, once you pass your apathetic 15 year old phase. There's this something, that you just can't help but love doing. And it may not be all that obvious. Maybe there's something stopping you from realizing that something and I'll admit, poverty can get in the way a lot of the time. But I believe it's there. I believe this intense love for something is lying inside us. Deep within us. Just waiting to be unleashed. Now, I don't have any real evidence to back this up. Really, there's no real logic behind this. But loving something is just...human. And I believe that we're all...human.

And yes, you can be a sex nerd. I'll give you that . Not sure how many sex nerds actually exist, but I'm sure they exist.
