What's wrong with having these certain interests anyway? Some people like horses, some dance, some sports, some TV shows, video games...etcetera. Everybody is different and trying to catagorise people by saying "nerds" or "preps" just doesn't work. By definition, I fall under this "nerd" catagory. So what?! I don't live in front of a computer, or a manga comic book, or playing cards...they just happen to be interests of mine. I'm sorry, but I get very defensive about derogatory terms used to group people together so they're easier to pick on by the "better" people. Everyone who falls under these "nerd" credentials...be proud that you know what you like and are interested in and not "liking" something because everyone else does. You're yourself and there is nothing bad about it.
