I would couldn't describe to you my "coming-out" story about being a geek or nerd because while I am a fan of the internet and it's countless services and while I may be somewhat of an outcast (all though this has declined in later years) I would not consider myself a geek or nerd but rather someone who possesses qualities of geeks and nerds alike. Since I can not tell you about this "coming-out" story I will give you a classification of the different kinds of nerds and geek that exists. Type 1: The Eugene. The Eugene is your stereotypical nerd who lacks in the categories of friends, good looks, charm, and, often, a will to live. Most Eugenes turn to the Internet for a safe space where they can act in their true Eugene form through the process of role playing, joining fandoms, and exploring the weirder/shadier parts of the web. However, in the unfortunate case that a Eugene can not find safety within the internet, it is very common that they will take their anger out on others, often weaker than them or at school via a gun. Type 2: Memester. This person is never one of the "popular" kids at their school although they can generally form friendships with fellow memesters, unlike Eugene's who remain secluded from the rest of society. Memesters value the internet for it's endless supply of memes, as the title suggests, and video games. They will browse the web forever in a spurt of boredom in search of way to achieve a quick laugh or long period of entertaining gaming. Type 3: The Victoria. This type of nerd uses the internet for the sole purpose of achieving greater knowledge, generally based on performing better in school. They will browse the internet for hours doing research or typing up an essay for school. They often like to type way more than is expected and turn it in well before the due date in order to impress their teachers. When they are not on the internet it is very common to find them buried in the middle of the third book they are reading that week.
