When you're super super popular... in SO.

My friend is guilty of this. At school, she's not extremely popular (ha not a bad way), but we get to regionals and she hugs/screams/waves at 2/3 or more of the people...

You Know You're A Nerd When...

...the highlight of your academic year is Science Olympiad.

...you burst into tears after seeing a test grade lower than 95.

...you and your friends enjoy making Weird Al-esque nerdy spoofs of songs. Example: "Don't you wish your girlfriend was SMART like me? Don't you wish your girlfriend was a GEEK like me?" Example 2: "SuperGEEK! SuperGEEK! She's super-GEEKY!" (Not my idea, but I helped)

...you actually have an interest in learning to program. I confess that I do.

...practically the only books you read are Science or Science Fiction books. I am guilty of this.

...you've been to JPL.

(AND IT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE!)

...you've driven a Mars rover at JPL.

(I have!!!)

...Tesla is your idol.

...the only shows you ever watch on TV are all on the Discovery Channel. (THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL FTW!)

...starpug says you are the biggest nerd he's never met. (He has told me this)

...you name elements off the periodic table to fall asleep.

...you actually like balancing chemical equations. (Guilty as charged)

...you proofread the local newspaper for fun. (Hey, I can't help it! Their editor should be fired.

)

...you design your SO team's shirts, and spell the team name out of the periodic table! (EPICNESS)

...you and your friend come up with nerd pick-up lines for fun (but never use them). (Examples: You might say I'm a charmed quark, and if you'd be my antiparticle, I'd really make your head spin.
Forgive me if these lines sound a little obtuse--I've saved them specially for acute boy like yourself.)

...95% of your online social time is spent on a Science Olympiad forum.

...you actually find the Critical Reading passages the College Board comes up with interesting.

...your Firefox skin is basically a bunch of CG neurons.

...you know all of the steps of the Sliding Filament Model, and can practically name them in your sleep.

...you own at least 5 nerd/geek t-shirts. (My mom made me stop buying them!

)

...you enjoy dissections.

...you actually know what a gluon is.

...you read epidemiology texts for fun.

...none of your friends want to play Pictionary if it falls on the science category because they know your nerdy knowledge of the subject is unfathomable... (kidding)

...you spend most of your free time on Scioly.org

...you beg your mom to let you start a robotics team.

...your main Christmas present is the book Frankenstein. *blushes*

...you read Brave New World and 1984 for fun.

...one of your favorite books is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

...you are working on a sci-fi novel.

...when the major quality you look for in friends is INTEREST IN SCIENCE!!!

81. Can you name more than ten Star Trek episodes?

Lol... make that over 100... or 200

It should be to.

... you correct the grammer in a comment that comments on a comment commenting a comment that comments a comment. (I think that is the right number of comments)
