    sincere questions:

    theremixbaby:

    if you can be a nerd about comedy or sports or beer or cars or other traditionally not-nerdy things then why can’t you be a nerd about shoes or reality tv or skin-care or pilates or celebrity gossip or hair dye? are girls who take multiple pictures of their outfits every single day to post on lookbook.nu actually the biggest nerds in the world? what about subcultural girl-nerdery? what about YA fiction and magical girl anime and Harry Potter fanfic and Final Fantasy and WB primetime dramas and Buffy? Sherlock and Supernatural and shojou and Dr. Who slash? also, can you be a nerd about coolness? are hipsters just nerds about being cool? can you be a party nerd? are LMFAO nerdy about partying?
