Ouch. My brain hurts. So do my eyes. Can’t focus. Must. Sleep. Why? Clock. Look. [snoring…]

Grrr…I just read “librarygal’s”:http://www.livejournal.com/users/librarygal/ most “recent blog entry”:http://www.livejournal.com/users/librarygal/150845.html and of course she challenged me to another one of those detested quizzes that I told myself I’d just do one of and never tough again! This time:

They go into more detail:

12% scored higher,
1% scored the same, and
87% scored lower.

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!!!.

So MIT, that’s here in town, right? Since I’m planning on going to college locally…somewhere…

Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that librarygal’s post’s subject was, “another nerd quiz for david_itman”, but the last post was a geek post, not a nerd post. The distinction is “well defined”:http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=geek+vs+nerd&btnG=Search, if not ignored often. And maybe “not that well”:http://forum.defcon.org/archive/index.php/t-1069.html defined. Well-discussed, then. Or, opinionated. Or, I’m-tired-so-I’m-going-to-bed. -inated.

Update: If I had to pick I’d go with geek over nerd, personally, especially based on “this”:http://web.vee.net/stuff/geek-vs-nerd.html which is admittedly one of many opinions. Hard to tell if the above quiz was more for one or the other though. I’m going to have to say it meant geek and not nerd, though (probably since I scored so high or something…). Now really to bed (4:10 now).

Update again: Maybe I’ll switch back based on this article, “The Socio-Psychological Distinction of Nerds vs. Geeks”:http://www.earthsea.com/metrogamers/nerd-gee.htm. Blah. It’s 04:12:45 hundred hours as I click save on this now.
