 Well, anyhoo, I'm proud of the fact that I am a nerd/geek/whatever, etc.
Here is a brief set of questions I made up to see if you're one too:
Do you have a highly deficient social life?
Is your online circle of friends larger, or significantly larger than your real-life circle of friends?
Do you enjoy reading?
Do you prefer classical music and perhaps classic rock to modern music?
Do you do programming, are you a techie?
Are your favorite topics of conversation in the sciences, preferably math, computer science, and physics? Maybe classical music?
Is your circle of real-life friends generally limited to people interested in the same things as you, in this case, nerds/geeks/freaks?
Are you friends with them because of the great conversations you've had in math/comp. sci./physics/classical music?
Do you generally detest large social events? These events are any civilized events, and do not include: LAN parties, scientific competitions, etc.
Do you spend as much time at the computer as you spend eating? Alternately, do you spend as much time reading or listening to classical music as much time?
Do others ask you for help with homework? For the definition of long words?
Are most of your books either in classics or in math, comp. sci., or physics?

I realize this list is hardly comprehensive, and I am expanding it all the time, plus I forgot some of the questions, so please submit questions (serious ones) like these.
If you reply 'yes' to about 70-80% or more of these, you can safely say you're a nerd/geek/whatever. BE PROUD OF THIS! :P
I score almost all of them, except some of the classical music ones and the one about the definition of long words. I used to be a classical music freak, but now I've moved more to Classic Rock, e.g. The Beatles.

A Message from ME: I think this should be in the Poll forum or the Spa Room 101. Considering it doesn't have anything to do with the game or RWL in any direct way.

 Aha!  I'm definately all of those.  I answered yes to all those questions!  ROFL!  And proud of it!

 Hm. Gee. I wonder what my result will be...*sarcastic*


Do you have a highly deficient social life? Hey, I'm a RWL addict, what do you think?

Is your online circle of friends larger, or significantly larger than your real-life circle of friends? Oh definitely yes.

Do you enjoy reading? *nods*

Do you prefer classical music and perhaps classic rock to modern music? Actually, not really.

Do you do programming, are you a techie? Yep.

Are your favorite topics of conversation in the sciences, preferably math, computer science, and physics? *nods* My friends are geeks too...once they were standing at in a line at a Disney field trip without an adult, and they started arguing about some specifics on the Roman empire. That tells you what my friends are like.

Maybe classical music? Mm, sometimes.

Is your circle of real-life friends generally limited to people interested in the same things as you, in this case, nerds/geeks/freaks? Yep.

Are you friends with them because of the great conversations you've had in math/comp. sci./physics/classical music? Yep, pretty much.

Do you generally detest large social events? These events are any civilized events, and do not include: LAN parties, scientific competitions, etc.  Not really...I'm actually on the homecoming ticket sales committee this year.

Do you spend as much time at the computer as you spend eating? Alternately, do you spend as much time reading or listening to classical music as much time? Haha, yes.

Do others ask you for help with homework? For the definition of long words? Whoa. o.0 That sentence just totally describes me...just today, a girl I hardly talk to came up to me and asked for some help on her english homework because she said I'm brilliant at spanish.

Are most of your books either in classics or in math, comp. sci., or physics? Yep. I actually just bought a math college textbook a few weeks ago, along with a psychology college textbook. My friends (who are pretty geeky) looked at me like I was a slug or something when I told them...I'm like the geekette of all geeks. Which is probably why no one's ever asked me to homecoming. But everyone at my school are geeks and nerds anyways...

Oh come let's sing Ohio's praise
     And songs to Alma Mater raise
  While our hearts rebounding thrill
With joy which death alone can still
   Summer's heat or winter's cold
The seasons pass the years will roll
  Time and change will surely show
   How firm thy friendship ... OHIO!

 Ergh... my reply got eaten... oh well.

Real nerds: The Beatles, Calria, Mikalae, Quami, Shael
Edge: Klamath, Blood Wake, Aqualis
Not: Almkman, Scarwake

Of course, what do you figure, being on a board like this is a good precursor of being a nerd, what what?
Cal, nice surprise!


[edit] Clearing up: Drama counts too.
HTML, CSS, XML and VB don't count toward being a techie. Javascript does, though, for now.
