Our Community: Your Words: How you Rock Your Nerdy

We've taken the word "nerdy" from a playground insult and turned it into a loud and proud way to rock your smarts, love of science fiction and otherwise geeky ways. Here on Team Tyra, we're way proud of our nerdy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer watching, Twilight reading ways so we asked folks in the community -- how do they rock their nerdy.

Answers ranged from G.P.A to a love of Battlestar Gallactica, but here's a few of our favorite ways.

Comics
Cristian told us how she rocks her nerdy and one of those involves comics. A love affair with comic books once earned kids atomic wedgies and swirlies in the school toilet, but now comics measure high on the cool scale. This past weekend, the long anticipated "Watchmen" movie was a blockbuster hit. Think you're not a comic book nerd? We doubt it -- we bet you've seen "Spiderman," "X-Men," the "Incredible Hulk" and many more. At least the "Dark Knight!"

Video Games
Noelle told us how much she loves video games -- and we agree! When you think video games, you think of someone bent over their computer for hours on end, definitely not interacting with other people. But with the birth of Guitar Hero, Wii Fit and the plethora of karaoke video games out there, video games have become a fun addition to any party and an awesome way to rock your nerdy.

Fantasy Books
Kaity has read seven books five times each -- kinda nerdy, right? If we told you those were Harry Potter books, would you change your mind?
Probably! Fantasy stories used to belong only to the nerdy kid in the back of the classroom, but now they're carried around by the prom queen. We'd like to meet someone who hasn't read either Harry Potter or Twilight -- if not at least seen the movies!



 
HEY DONNO waiting the mail-sending request -read mail adress-READ or 13 february mail- g mail change hot mail name same!
 
I'm a total game girl. Most guys ask me if I play games and I'm like, "HELLZ YEAH!" and when they ask my favorite kind of games I'm like, "Blood and gore hun, blood and gore" They kinda look at me like "where the hell have you been all my life?" it's funny. Although I'm not the nerd gamer girl to get good grades, I still dig the games :]
 
ive read the harry potter series about 28 times! I'm a major nerd, always reading everything but my friends like me that way; it always gives you something to talk about! I'm a self-proclaimed nerd and most people think I'm pretty cool.
 
:)
 
hey wellz i am the nerd! i love twilight and get awsum grades! im not the usual nerd that only hangs out with the rest of them i like to be around different kinds of people. i guess im a cool nerd! twilght rocks!
 
I dont like high heels..... will make me look more like..... wrong message.. and i love wear sports shoes.......
 
So I guess I'm in the nerd catagory but all my freinds me included call our selves band geeks. Not like Rock band like concert band. 75% of the music on my ipod is classical. Most of us (or at least I do) read through all our classes and stll pass with flying colors. My mom still packs my lunch every day, I carry a pen with me and read durrng lunch. So I guess I'm a nerd but I don't get made fun of for it or anything, but some people do ask me somtimes if I have a life or if I jsut sit at home and do homwork practice my flute, trumpet, and saxaphone. But I don't. Most of my freinds don't. I slack off I don't take my flute home from school I don't practice my trumpet I gave up on saxaphone, I don't do my homework, I don't study I'm not a good kid all the time. I guess I'm just saying if your like me, if your a nerdy geek ROCK IT! And be yourself who cares what everyone eles thinks right? Besides its much more fun that way.
 
Nerdy or need for knowledge.......I guess it's just a social class like anything else.....you have your business class, doctor class, young class, goon class or hip hop class, teacher class, pretty much you get in where fit in and every social class is a trend setter........
