shrug Maybe I've just got to the age (Happy Birthday to me!) where I've run out of fucks to give but I don't care if someone thinks "nerd!" if they see me.

Am I the only one who considers that a compliment?

Hardly, and I do think that headline smells of a high school jock attitude. I know art nerds, science nerds, business nerds, music nerds, all kinds of nerds. I see it as badge of devotion, focus and skill in an area. If you’re a grown-up.
