Shake, Rattle & Roll

So I was rather cranky today -- due to going to sleep early but being kept awake by my window rattling something fierce. Several times I got up and banged the window or the sill to try to stop it. But it kept on doing its thing -- At one point I swear it woke me up.

Normally I would play my iPod but currently we have a sad iPod face so Starbuck/Aurora is taking a little vacation to visit Apple and get repaired or sent to the iPod graveyard. Hopefully she will return to me soon and I can have blissful sleep once again.

Ugh...it has been a day...amazingly I have actually accomplished a bit of school work -- so Yea Me!

Buenas Noches or Nachoes if you prefer! :)

I am a "Modern Cool Nerd"


Your Score: Modern, Cool Nerd


56 % Nerd, 69% Geek, 34% Dork




For The Record:



A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.



You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.



Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!



Congratulations!

The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test
