    My nerd story.

    The PDF file

    I was in C++ class today when a friend called me over, because he could not find a text file that was on every student’s computer. I sat down at his computer and began to look for it. For some reason I could not find it. It was not where the teacher put it on my computer. The longer I searched the more frustrated I would become. Then I double clicked on a random file unknown the computer. The screen popped up and it somewhat read, "Choose the program to run chapter3.pdf". Let me mention that I think I have tourettes syndrome and this is how I released my frustration. "Yes!" I shouted and clenched my fist above my head like Tiger Woods, "Its a PDF file." Everyone in the room stared at me, jaws dropped, pausing and deciding on how to react to the situation. Luckily, my friend and I burst into laughter and did the little high-five routine from Revenge of The Nerds where you keep missing the other person’s hand in the air. Oh, It was goddamn funny. I felt like such a nerd, but this stuff happens and luckily I was in a C++ class and everyone there is nerdy too and they just laughed.

    Are you people this bad? Share your stories.

    i had a full on arguement that Flash movies were not made in Director with my Director teacher... she said that anything that was shockwave was Director and claimed that all flash animations are shockwave therefore made in Director! she even tried to convince me that my own animations i had made using flash were made in Director...
    then she said that i didnt make em....
    shes an idiot i knew Director better than her in about a day

    one time when i was in jounalism and we were "learning" about computer graphics and pagemaker and what not. i tried to impress my teacher, er whatever, by asking if .eps was a vector format, even though i already knew it was. he looked stunned, looked around, and replied something to the effect of "um... no... its not." trying to make me look stupid.

    yeah, it feels good to know more than your teachers do.

    Yeah I have neigbors that call me with computer issues. I had alot of issues with my computer teachers in 7th and 8th grade because I knew more than they did and they would get pissed when I would contradict them. It's easier to learn stuff in HS cause the teachers get better. In my Multimedia Class my teacher will just give me tutorials and buy really expensive software for me to use in class. My C++ teacher really cool. She worked for NASA and programed satellites like 10 years ago and now all the satellites she programed are going into orbit. Friends kinda make fun of me because I know all the computer teachers so well, but its worth it.

    I made a Flash Movie about the immunity system, my teachers had the same reaction. Most students spent about 1-2 hours working on their project, making posters, and stuff. I made the Flash movie in about 20 minutes and got an A.

    after a riveting 5 hour session of starcraft, my dog came in licked my knee. i freaked, thinking it was a zerg, and tried to stare it down!

    hehe.. and then here at school (prep boarding school) after a looong day of playing counterstrike on the lan, i went outside (yeh.. would you believe it?) and heard the contstruction guys using the airgun on the sides of a new dorm. i jumped about 4 feet in the air then crouched down searching for where the attacking fire was coming from...


    /denial but no.. im not a computer nerd

    8th grade web page group
    I'm not allowed, no 7th grader
    their first impression is to make a flash site with absolutely no AS knowledge
    then they ask me for help so they can convince the computer teacher that they are good in flash


    what stupid 8th graders

    my girlfriends don't know I game and program
    people stare @ me in awe when I begin coding a site during history class in the library

    I'm such a nerd

    I told my peers that bonzibuddy was spyware(which it is, I believe), and they thought that deleting the shortcut on the desktop would delete the program

    seriously, I run track, play lacrosse, football, soccer, skateboard, blade, snowboard, etc.
