Right well I think this is going to work just fine....
What can I say? I am overwhelmed by the support from my fellow blogging community. Panda baby, your blood's worth bottling. Thanks for the lovely advice - and as can always be expected from you it was pithy, witty, and groovy. (Not to mention spot on... cheers baby!!)
Ok so here I am working in the worlds most BORING temp job ever in the history of temping, and rather than staple my head to the coffee table I have elected to spend time surfing the net and blah blah blah.
So I've checked out my darling mates blogspots, and been similarly inspired to get one up and running for myself and discovered all sorts of groovy things - like nerd tests.
Now hopeful of being particularly nerdy (as I have always suspected - indeed my mate the Matthewiest Matthew in the whole wide world and I have decided to form a couple of clubs together - The Way Cool Nerds being only one of them, I was sorely disappointed to do the nerd test and come up with a completely crap result.
I am, in fact, only a wannabe nerd. I am hurt and ashamed, not to mention a little miffed that crap science-y type stuff is the only thing considered nerdy these days.
I mean COME ON!!! I can tell you shedloads of little known facts about obscure south american authors and the cruel political regimes that inspired their works!
I can tell you all sorts of bollocks about post colonial literature in Africa and endless reams of rubbish about contemporary world literature in places like the Caribbean, Papua New Guinea and yes, I know loads of stuff that ONLY a true nerd would even WANT to know about contemporary Australian literature.
So I ask you, is not knowing how to programme a computer or which stupid element is which in the periodic table necessarily un-nerdy?
Anyways, if not ACTUALLY disgruntled by my lack of obvious nerdiness (ACCORDING TO SOME VERY SUBJECTIVE NERD TEST) then certainly FAR from gruntled, I decided to take a loser test (ever hopeful of discovering that I am in fact a loser) and whaddaya know... I suck at that test too!!
It tells me that I am in fact hardly a loser at all, and in their opinion way cool
(hmmpph! Tell me something I DIDN'T already know pfft!!!)
Only 4% loser - in other words... totally cool.
I should have t shirts made up whaddaya reckon? (along with the 'Avon Crackwhore' t shirt for Jules eh... hehehe).

See, you're a Literature Nerd, or what we ACTUAL nerds call "wankers".
But I can totally believe that you are only 4% loser.
Hey ya know what? I know LOADS of stuff about other things other than literature... I can speak 4 languages other than English goddammit! On top of that there's heaps of stuff relating to history and the classics - ENTIRELY unrelated to LITERATURE thank you very much - than I can babble on about at will!!
Anyways... hmph!
Oh ye and pffft!
There's only one thing worse than an actual nerd in my newly revised opinion... and that's a commerce/finance/economics student/graduate
(with the exception of Finance Mike of course - not that he doesn't have all the classic attributes of a finance fuckwit but he is inescapably fabulous and undeniably awesome regardless)
hehehe
