Explanation: Moods

Mood: Geek

Okay...maybe I should explain the "mood" part of my posts.

Most people think that nerd and geek mean the same thing. In my most humble opinion, they are quite different. To most people, a nerd is someone who isn't "popular." They don't have loud friends, and don't tell loud jokes, or are into computers, and Magic: The Gathering. These people also think that nerds and geeks are the same thing.

In my opinion, the only difference between a nerd and a geek is that a geek is happy. A geek is proud of being able to program in thirteen languages, read HTML like they read a book, and know what megahertz are, and how they apply to computers. A nerd is someone who, becuase of low self-esteem, avoid social situations. They are ashamed of being what they are, of not fitting into the mold of what's "cool."

So, in summation: When I say Mood: Nerd; I'm feeling sad and depressed. When Mood: Geek is shown, it means that I'm in a good mood. Also, I'll sometimes put up Mood: Meh which means that I'm either really tired, or just sorta..."blah".
