Don't you get tired of people who are probably obsessed with handicrafts, scrapbooking, cars or guns(though I am obsessed with guns too) that call other people nerds?
True, I only really dig the originals and I think they are our first global modern mythology, but at some point it gets a little played out.

I'm a self professed "nerd." I really don't care what other people think about me.
