You, sir, are a nerd but I like nerds.
And I am both a geek and a nerd. I am always the type to befriend those with higher intelligence with careers and interests that expand and educate the mind. For the geek side, the biggest embarrassments would be my hobbies surrounding cartoons (or anime) that are targeted for my generation. Plus video games, like Fallout, make me one happy person. And I am also a geek for owning autographed stuff from someone famous (even locally) or something they owned personally for a time.
And for some reason, I want to own bizarre artifacts from the past because they would make great conversational pieces.
