I am a huge, huge nerd. I’ve never cared about sports, or what’s hip now, or that cool new musician. I’m all about video games, particularly indie dungeon crawlers and first person shooters. I listen to old 80s rock and EDM music. My family and friends shaped me into this person, and they’re the reason there’s an essay here at all.
Nerdiness runs in my blood. My Great-Grandfather played Legend of Zelda and Sims. My parents are therefore, of course, nerds. Different, and more old school, but nerds nonetheless. They and their friends gather together and play Dungeons & Dragons, perhaps the most nerdy game ever. Because my parents are nerds, rather than spending my childhood watching sports or something, my parents and I would (and still do)
