Welcome to Gaia! ::

I am a geek/nerd. I have a few social skills, but not too many. I will often offend people on accident. I have my face in a book or a computer all day, and almost always go the extra step in school.

But about the whole "nerds are ugly" thing, and how nerds who say they are pretty are not real nerds, I strongly DISAGREE. Nerds don't have to be ugly to be nerds. I am a nerd, but I am fairly pretty. Although I don't like to admit it, and wish I wasn't, people other than my family and friends have said that I am. Now, I KNOW I'm not sexy, and I never will be, but a nerd doesn't always have to have greasy hair, and a lot of acne and look really weird. Although I do have glasses and braces, I have almost no acne, and my hair looks really good when taken of properly. [my hair is very high-maintenance. xp ] So to stereotype that is just plain wrong. You can't choose your genes, and you can't determine your personality by what you look like.

A nerd spends way too much time studying for finals and doesn't really care if his/her social life goes down the drain because of it.

Nerds= people who are just smart and can have social skills, but like intense nerds, they can be studying all night if they have to.
Geeks= people who are usually obsessed with something like star wars and they don't necessarily need to be smart.

Also nerds or geeks can be pretty. I've known some. If anything, its because its their choice. Well thats what I personally think.
