I play in a Pokemon tabletop RPG run over the internet with some people I know from a forum set up to talk about playing Team Fortress 2.

i am for sure.
nobody except those closest to me know that i have an extensive knowledge of computers/software/tech, watch the animu from time to time, play vidya religiously, and etc, and even then, the people that know hardly know even the gist of it.Â
i guess i prefer to keep nerd life and regular life separate?Â
Meh, I kinda used to be but at some point you just realise it's a part of who you are and it's just not worth it to keep a secret, I mean, if swingers can be very open about them being swingers, why would we be ashamed of being nerds... Being a nerd has been good to me.
Being a nerd got me
- Launched my carreer, despite being a highschool dropout and I haven't hit a dead end yet.
- Made me meet my gorgeous girlfriend, who I love dearly.
- Made sure I never get bored when I'm alone because between gaming, coding, reading and watching stuff there is always something to distract me.
- And probably a lot more because I'm very interested in science and technology.
Why would you hide that?

Thing is, nerd is not 100% who you are, it's part of who you are... I get smashed and hang around at squat parties for 48h+, not a typical 'nerd' thing to do but still...

yeah i know what you mean funbux, i do a lot of non-nerd things as well but there is still part of me that will splat at the sight of new games and things like that

I'm dodgy about it in social situations. Pretty much all of my friends are gamers though, so it's not a big deal.

But are they gamers, or Gamers?

Bah, if they can't accept you for who you are, are they worth hanging out with?

ohai I used to do the same thing. I was sort of the web designer for my guild which was LOTR centric and full of mostly British girls. I also used to RP on the RP boards (no, not the creepy kind).
Probably the nerdiest thing I still do is play RP MUDs. Other than that I play vidja games, watch animu, and go to an occasional con.

You guys all put me to shame. The best I got is I watched someone pirate software from a BBS when I was like 12.
