Are you a dork?
If so, do you do what you can to hide your dorkness, or do you embrace your inner dork?

I embrace mine. :P How about you?

30. Based on Swede's Venn diagram, me too.
At least I like to think I have some of that "intelligence" stuff.

I could be over-evaluating, though, which would leave me in the "dork" union.

:hi:

9. I'm more of a geek
than a dork. But I do have my moments of dorkiness, and I embrace them.

18. Definitely let my dork flag fly!
The Venn diagram in the earlier post - That's my world! Has any of my fellow dorks compiled one for the oppisite end of the social spectrum i.e. jock/bully/sociopath?

26. I prefer the term nerd.
I think I'm a major nerd on the inside, but I don't think I seem particularly nerdy to others. (At least not until they get to know me)

28.  I embrace it. Saves me from soul sucking mediocrity
(Which actually works if one is not pretentious about it)I don't do facebook and do read science blogs. I'm a huge sci-fi fan. I actually like odd things like Bruce Campbell movies. I dress in what I choose. Sometimes I'm reclusive and sometimes I'm not.


Things like these and many others makes life worth living.

31. proudly!
I think that's one of our family's favorite words and way of expressing fondness for someone. "You dork!" is a term of endearment for us. :)

33. Nope.
I'm not good with technology, I don't really care about Star Wars, Star Trek, anime or other dork obsessions, and I don't think I'm particularly socially inept.

34. Oh, god. Huge one.
I'm a comic book fan-boy/nerd. I've been collecting since I was six. I love comic book movies, t-shirts and I have prints, paintings and posters on my walls that confirm that.

I'm also a anime, history, sci-fi, horror, zombie, pulp fantasy, HPL, convention and movie nerd. I love it.

Anyone who knows me is aware. I was embarrassed in middle/high school but I embraced it in college.

The Geek shall inherit the Earth!
