There is nothing wrong with being a geek. Lots of people consider me a pretty "cool" individual, I guess. . . I wear a leather jacket occasionally, I play guitar, I snowboard. . . then on the other hand, I play table-top role-playing games (DnD, RollMaster, etc.) and I stayed up all night the other night playing Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Being a nerd is just as cool as being anything else. . . as long as you make it cool.
I'm not sure about this, but I think I've actually dreamed about owning effects/gimmicks that I don't really own. I think I've even dreamed about tricks and then created them. . . I can't remember which of my effects this happened with, though. But yeah, I wouldn't consider that nerdy, necessarily. Then again, I am a former Dungeon Master, so my standards on what's nerdy are probably a little different than other people's.
