Bah, I am nerdy and I am hip. I'm not nerdy about computers and games but I am very nerdy about politics, parts of art and snowboarding which are all hip in our current youth culture (the 17+ part of it atleast). Though any inherant coolness from being (semi) athletic, knowing stuff about s*** and having a talent people can be jealous of is cancelled out by being a reclusive crazy man *throws cats at people*
