Bein' a Nerd

I am what once upon a time could be legitimately called a "nerd." I had a 3.95 GPA in high school and in college, and graduated with a degree in math and computer science. Now, being a "nerd" means liking video games and comic books, both of which I set aside in high school (I mean, I play the odd game of Dig Dug occasionally, and there are graphic novels I've enjoyed, but I don't have an Xbox or read X-Men). It annoys me that being a nerd no longer means being socially awkward and possessing intellectual curiosity, but consuming certain things deemed "nerdy" by an earlier generation.
