but i have to cut down on the internet, just for the next three month or so. My classes have started again and things are going to pick up next week. It's probably why i have been posting so much today, knowing very well i could be buried in BS by Friday. We already have readings to do (which are 80% of the time BS anyway).

My classes are not going to be as crazy as they were in spring so i'll still have time to hang here but I still have to cut down on surfing. Heck other then this forum, most of my haunts are slow with new updates and stuff, might as well let the net stew throughout the week.

And by making this declaration on the forums i'll have no choice but to follow it. So to keep this thread going for the next few months, here's something to discuss:

Factions of Nerdyness!

I've been trying to figure out the different groups of nerdyness for a while now and here are my listing so far:

The Science nerd: The group that finds quantum theory and other superscience so interesting that it becomes as regular as breathing.

Video Game Nerds: Do I even have to describe this one

Otakus: The anime geeks that think all other forums of media are obsolete

The Furry: Shudder

The Comicbook Nerd: People who will physically harm anyone who talks shit about a comicbook icon (batman and spidey)

The Magic Geek: Pretty much anyone who knows more about Magic the Gathering then what the green stuff on their lawn is called

The movie nerd: I’m not taking about those who will see any movie that comes out in theater, but also anything that MST3k riffs in it’s raw form and remember quotes better then their own name!

The Nostalgic Nerd: any nerd that gets high from anything from their childhood or an era they find fascinating. I’m one and if nostalgia was a over the counter drug, I would so buy it.

The internet Nerd: That is sadly me as well, but not to the extremes of ROFLcon!

I know I’m missing some factions and am obviously forgetting sub-factions.

And when heroes season 3 starts up, I’ll be stopping by ASAP Wink

One more thing, should i change my sig so you guys can enjoy more then one Mai?

Guilty. I watched a lot of the online ROFLcon footage. Jason Scott's talk about pre-Internet and early net-based memes is especially worthwile.

I try to be a happy nerd rather than an angry nerd. There's not enough happy nerds. Mr. Green

Music Nerd: Makes constant blog posts complaining about Pitchforkmedia. Has read Pitchforkmedia every day for last 3 years. Loves "all music except for rap and 'new' country."


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

Pitchform Media sucks. Their review of Lateralus was the most smug elitist piece of trash I have ever ever read.

Someday, I hope to personally murder everyone associated with that site.

He could have just said "Remember how all the songs were 6 minutes on Aemina? Now, they're all 9!"

Also, that review was dated 12/31/99. Didn't Lateralus come out in 2001?

Yeah, and the review makes mention of that. I have no idea why it's dated 1999. Possibly as some sort of obtuse joke, because smarmy little shithead indy music snobs love making retarded jokes that only five people in the world will actually get. That or it's because Pitchfork Media has gone through several redesigns over the years. Perhaps after one redesign, that's the default date they stuck on undated reviews.

I love how they guilt people into liking stuff in order to look cool. I remember nobody giving a shit about or not hearing about Slint until some guy wrote an "OMG NEWS FLASH" on them re-uniting. Then the next day, everybody was a Slint fan since the day they were born.


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

Has PFM disowned Modest Mouse yet? Eight years ago, they couldn't suck Modest Mouse's dick hard enough. But now that the band has had a mainstream radio hit with "Dashboard", I imagine they're considered musical Anti-Christs on the site.

Even though it is a dying breed, there are still Card Collecting Nerds.

And as far as PFM goes, there are indy music nerds, but then there are old-timey collector nerds. As much as I love games 1979-1996, my primary hobby is collecting traditional American Music, and I consider it a very distinct hobby from a nameless friend who is more of the PFM crowd (but a nice guy). Maybe I just think I'm different because of minor differences, but I think you could say there are the indy geeks and then record collector geeks.

Computer nerds: People who see the word “Oxford” and mentally trip over the fact that ‘r’ is not a hex digit.
