Nerd (n.)
- An individual persecuted for his superior skills or intellect, most often by people who fear and envy him/her.
- A stereotypical label used to describe a person that is socially inadequate. A four letter word, but a six figure income.
-Nerds exist covertly within the fabric of society, often choosing to 'nerd it up' in private or in the company of fellow nerds. It is for this reason they are feared the most - unlike geeks, who are easily identified, nerds can only be found out when casual conversation reaches a subject that they like nerding.

Me

- Boston, Massachussetts, United States
- I'm not limited to the blank canvas I was born as. My life is an eclectic melange of vivid colour. I float in a sea of multifarious musings, ranging from worlds of lime green skies and copper stars to winged objects and fairy dust. I am the flirtatiousness of cherry chap-stick, the depths of the cerulean ocean and the violet skies of Monet. I am the brooding dark green of dense foliage, the crimson tint in a blushing girl’s cheeks; the purple of bruised limbs. The complexity of my thoughts keeps evolving, I grow and shrink alternately. I cannot be contained or restrained. The French language is my drug and acne is my worst enemy. I laugh a little too much and am a romantic in the extreme sense. I’m likely to steal the stars from the sky, but my aims remain grounded in reality. I can’t be pigeonholed into a single stereotype, because all labels apply to me at different points in time.

Blind
Is it just me, or is everybody around me completely blind?
It seems that nobody can see what people are really like. Seems like nobody even wants to. Which is good, because they're happier, ignorance being bliss and all that...but they should be ABLE to. Am I making sense here?
Maybe it's just the heightened perception that's been bestowed upon me by a number of bad experiences, or my overanalytical tendencies. Or both. I've lost too many people through misidentification. I thought people who didn't care did, and people who did..didn't. Lovers to strangers, best-friends to bloodthirsty enemies, friends to mere acquaintances; what happened? Just when did this intricately tangled web of deception manage to weave itself around my heart, constricting my energy and vivacity so completely?
When all of these people attempted to make a convenient and in some cases requisite exit from my life, it was as though they were passing through an invisible seive - because the crap filtered out, and the people who actually cared stayed behind. It was difficult to live with this, but it isn't anymore. I've said goodbye to the naive tendency to trust everybody, and said hello to the more mature one of maintaining a distance.
It's like I'm seeing light for the first time.
All this while, I was blind; just like a lot of people seem to be.
When I see what's coming to them, I thank all the powers in the Universe that I'm not blind anymore.
