About This Quote

When you are a nerd, you can be a real nerd. You can read comic books and watch TV shows. In fact, you could even go to college and become a doctor or lawyer. But if you want to really be a nerd, you have to prefer fictional worlds to the real one.

The best way to do that is to do things that don't seem like a real person would do them. For example, if you wanted to be a "nerd" in real life you'd probably talk about Pokémon all day long without leaving the house.
