65 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 65% 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.

Congratulations!

jämförelseanalys

Jag sitter och skriver jämförelseanalys på samhällskunskapen, så här trevligt ser det ut mitt i min arbetsprocess, en process som inte riktigt är förståelig inte ens för mig. Jag börjar med att skriva dit alla rubriker och sen skriver jag lite random saker under, typ saker jag måste komma ihåg att skriva där. Sen hoppar jag runt lite och skriver nått under alla roliga rubriker, eller tills det tar stopp. Då gör jag lite skumma anteckningar och fortsätter med nått nytt. Jag borde nog arbeta fram en bättre metod, men det hinns aldrig med när man skjuter upp sakerna till sista dagarna.

Jag lyssnar också på otroliga mängder musik samtidigt som jag gör detta och sitter på mitt rum nonstop från tidig morgon till sen kväll. Just nu är det of montreal och lite millencolin som gäller. Nä nu hinner jag inte skriva här längre måste tillbaka till ordbajseriet i analysen. hejsvejs.

Min top25 på itunes

Jag blir ibland lite skrämd över hur många gånger jag har lyssnat på en viss låt, här nedan kan min mest spelade lista (mars-dec 07) från iTunes beskådas. Det har på senare tid blivit mycket hårt för nya låtar att slå sig in på listan, efter som det just nu krävs 40 spelningar får att placeras sig som nummer 25. Endast 10 olika band finns med på listan. Annan spännande fakta jag just upptäckte är att hälften av låtarna (12) kommer från tre album (se album hos top3) varav två släppta 2007. Jag har sett två av banden live (Arctic Monkeys + Shout Out Louds) och därför också 7 av låtarna. Samtliga låtar är på engelska och endast två skrivna av ett svenskt band (shout out louds).

Follow me through a city of frost covered angels

Jag är seg som fan, idag har jag t.ex. kollat på några avsnitt av den andra säsongen av lost, läst min jädrnas engelskabok, sorterat mina Neutral Milk Hotel bootlegs och sen inte så himla mycket mer. sorgligt egentligen.
