Put me in a box?

You know how calling yourself a ‘geek’ or ‘a ‘nerd’ is totally in vogue lately? I, for one, don’t get it. Probably, because I don’t consider myself a nerd. I don’t have any of the ~~qualities~~ characteristics. Nerds remind me of candy! and also of classmates from school days who seemed a tad-bit-boring and had not many interests except books and what-ever-it-is-that-nerds-are-interested-in. I, on the other hand have such a short attention span that I could not possibly be interested in any ONE thing for a very long time. ‘Nerd’ is definitely not an adjective for me.

An opposite adjective to ‘nerd’ would be ‘cool’. Right? - Which is a total bummer as I am not ‘cool’ either! For starters, to be ‘cool’ one needs to have a real laid-back-easy-going-swagger which if you know me, I don’t have even an ounce of! I have way too many OCDs and have proven one too many times I am über hard on myself to ever be considered ‘cool’.

So what does that leave me with? Which box do I tick for myself? Not that I want to put myself in a box, but it would be nice to know which perceived box would others put me into. Ya’know what I mean?
