I love it when a group of people take what is meant to be a disparaging epitaph and own it to the point that they make it something we all want to be. Great post, my friend!
I suppose I am nearly a Nerd … I write poetry and read ‘Walt Whitman’ …
“I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen,
And accrue what I hear into myself…and let sound contribute toward me.” ― Walt Whitman
So much creativity among young people today. It gives one hope. My not-so-young-anymore son is a computer geek. I asked him what is the difference between a geek and a nerd. He answered, “A geek is a nerd who can get a date.”
Cute.
