…hagiologist…

I was born in August 1988 in Auckland, New Zealand, where, excluding 11 months during the year I turned 18, I have lived my mundane life. Those other 11 months, I was in Melbourne, Australia… on my computer.

According to Wikipedia:

The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as “a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, etc.”

Nerd is a term often bearing a derogatory connotation or stereotype, that refers to a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests that are age-inappropriate rather than engaging in more social or popular activities. Therefore, a nerd is often excluded from physical activity and considered a loner by peers, or will tend to associate with like-minded people.

 I think those two words sum me up pretty well. Lucky for me, I work in a place where it’s considered relatively normal to be geeky, nerdy, or both.
