Apparently a nerd would know the distinction between those terms. ::g:: But I was right in that I'm not a dork. :D
I am a COOL NERD. (65%) That's right, baby! I have a lifelong passion for learning and being smart, which slightly edged out being passionate about some particular area or subject (61%), which would make me a Geek. Which might be certain fandoms, but I'm not saying anything.
I actually hear you about the privacy thing. My way to cope with the occasionally desperate need to be alone is to stay up much later than my son or husband. My bliss is in the cool night hours when I can be alone with my thoughts and lovely, lovely computer.
I can also pass for normal if I try hard enough. I hardly ever quote from movies or television for example. Really. :)
