What kind of nerd am I?

Shortened, less condensed version of a random conversation in my science class today. Most of the conversation is kind of wrong but you get the general idea.

Guy in my science class: Are you a nerd Mr. [science teacher's last name]?
Teacher: Well nerds are a person that loves to do something very much. There's the one that loves science, books, etc. nerds.  So... I guess I'm a science nerd, a computer nerd, and [some other nerd that I can't remember right now]
Girl with black hair that's not me: What kind of nerd am I [science teacher's name]?
Teacher: An anime nerd.
Same guy from above: What kind of nerd am I?
Teacher: A theater nerd.
Guy: *Makes a dramatic pouty face*
Teacher: See *laughs*

Etc. etc. You can see where that's going. A bunch of other students asks what kind of nerd they are. The teacher thinks for a minute and replies. Then we had to move on to presenting stuff which was typically boring.

During that random conversation about nerds, I started thinking as usual.
What kind of nerd, am I? I think to myself. And being my usual school quiet self I kept my hand down and didn't ask the teacher what kind of nerd I am. Because he'll most likely say...
"Hmm... I don't know, probably some kind of [random thing] [creative?] [writing?] [books?]  nerd."
So while I was thinking What kind of nerd am I? I made a short mental list and I'm going to post it here.

I'm a...

  • Writing nerd
  • Blogger nerd
  • Academic nerd (the one that usually gets straight A's) 
  • Book nerd
  • Procrastinator nerd
  • Being me nerd.

A 2/8/12 kind of day quote


I should read the book to fully understand that quote.
But that means waiting for at least 87 other people to finish the book before I can read it. 
Hmm... 
*Places library hold on the book anyways*

A book named Crossed

Book: Crossed
Series: Matched #2
Author: Ally Condie
Status: Currently reading
How I'm liking it so far: It's okay I guess.
Reason why I'm reading this: To make my twin a bit annoyed because she really wants to read this book. And plus I needed a book to read. Plus, I wanted to see Ky's view on things not really Cassia. (And this was after I checked out the book.)
Who's my favorite so far: No one, except maybe Ky. Only I wouldn't call him my favorite, it's just that I like him a bit better than the others. Minus Indie I like her too.
Other: It's hard to get into the book if you've kind of forgotten nearly everything from the first book. Which is a bit ironic considering that Matched is on the next desk over from me.
And it's a bit interesting to know that the setting is based in the southern part of the state I live in. At least this book ins't entirely not educational. I'm learning about the geographical features of my state... kind of.
Current rating: 2 or a 3 out of five.
