Harry Potter swapping fun!


So I just got home to a lovely package from my HP Swap partner on the knittyboards. Included in the box were some tasty HP candies and a book about what might happen in book 7. But BEST of all...a skein of handdyed sock yarn in my house colors (go hufflepuff!!)

Thank you Dobby's Sock!!

Your Score: Modern, Cool Nerd


60 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 21% 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 Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.



Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!



Congratulations!
