Taken from muskrat_john: "Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a non-same-sex marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow." Because that whole concept is nuts. I can't even imagine *how* it could hurt it. |

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test... Outcast Genius87 % Nerd, 57% Geek, 52% Dork 
For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius. Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject). Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius.

I know there are a few David Tennant fans out there... I thought some of you might be interested in knowing that a DVD of his breakthrough TV role in 'Takin' Over the Asylum' will be released next Monday. Well worth watching (IMHO) whether you're a DT fan or not, frankly. |

Fill in the film title once it's guessed. 5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions. Totally cheating, you dirty cheaters. ( Quotes in here ) |
