..You say apple and think of the computer before the fruit
..You think opening a window will cause a blue wind of death.
..You start danceing to the music of your favorite games.

Heh, a friend of mine makes tracks with his C64 and mixes some old classics with the new ones sometimes. And yes, we dance. :D
Also the first one is true, but that's a language thing...

about a week ago, one of my professors was trying to explain the function of cytochrome C to several students in my class. to give us a conceptual sense of it, he said, "Cytochrome C is like the Frodo of the electron transport chain."

the parallel was instantly clear to me. i am officially an ubernerd.

Both of the first two apply. I consider anyone to whom the third applies a geek, rather than a nerd. The difference is that a geek is the most beat-up kid in school, while the nerd is safe because if anyone beats him up, who will do their homework for them?

I don't dance to game music, but I do enjoy it. I don't do the other two.

Innocent.

Very, extremely innocent.

Innocent (after thinking about it).

Yay! I'm not a nerd!

A TRUE nerd wouldn't open windows very often, "Ack! Sunlight, it burns!"

Guilty of #1 and #3.

While not inherently guilty of any of these dreadful sins... I refuse to not be allowed to be called a nerd...

Thank you...

You make a list of things that make you a nerd. :D
Cannot think of a name

I never think of them as 'apples,' I think of them as Macs, so I dodged the first bullet.

Since I do media editing on the mac I'm not as afraid of the 'blue wind' (I don't even know what that is, which would make me smug except...) as I am afraid of the 'spinning pinwheel of death' which makes all the times you should have saved your project flash before your eyes. Half credit maybe, since I never think of that away from the mac.

No dancing. But I do have the internet radio station "The Spinning Invader" on my iTunes that does remixes and covers of video game music.

Not that I am not a giant dork in other catagories.....

Besides, I have to think of those comps as Macs since my school newspaper publishes on them

Well, I don't actually play it very much.

Not the first two, but definitely the third! Lol. That'll make me a geek rather than a nerd. ;) Game music rocks!

*is beaten up in playground*

Heh, that rarely actually happens, lucky? Or just so blatantly charismatic people can't bring themselves to harm me? Lol, who knows.

You know you are a nerd when...

....You misspell "antidisestablishmentarianism" and you go into hiding for a week.

....You have to borrow a friend's pocket protector when you can't fit anymore pens in yours.

....a ride in the car around the block gives you a nosebleed.
