Feelin' dorky!

Posted on Sep 26th, 2008 by Janet : Strategic Enthusiast Janet



Superstar Dance Scene


Was just having a little convo with Lars and we came to the conclusion
we're a couple of dorks. Let's just stop resisting and celebrate the dorkiness instead.  How about you? Are you ready to unleash your inner dweeb?

Hi everybody !!  :))
I've just checked the dictionary and can say I'm the Queen of the Dweebs, yes, but find Dork too strong word, even for weird me….but love talking about silly things now and then ….makes me feel more human….silly human…..LOL

BUT after watching the videos of JANETand PEACE SEEKER, I think the word I had used to describe the people there is FREAK. What do you thing? could it be a sinonyme? Here we use a lot freak word but maybe not apropiately, it all started with the freak reality shows on tv.

And the last thing, JANET,  why don't explain us the reason for you to feel dwweb ?, any gossipy intention, just wanting to learn about words….LOL

You aren't particularly anxious, and you don't count things–but you do notice sometimes that you don't exactly fit in. Polite people would call you an eccentric, but you truly are The Dork! And proud. Just because you feel a little awkward at parties doesn't mean you're not happy with yourself and fairly relaxed.

Your low anxiety score implies that you are able to relax, can enjoy the here and now, and have a healthy amount of self-confidence.

Your high awkwardness score implies that you are socially inept, probably stick out from the crowd, and perhaps feel uncomfortable in large groups of people, such as at parties.

Your low neuroticism score implies that you don't exhibit subtle neurotic behaviors–your nails are probably an acceptable length, your pencils aren't covered with bite marks, and your bookcase isn't arranged alphabetically by genre. Congrats!

BTW.. That is NOT my test result! I just copied it from the place where I stole the icon! ;-P

Oh Goody! Dorky Friday!  I love the videos,  I love Napoleon Dynamite.  One of my sons can't find the humor in it and I think it's because he's afraid to face his inner dork! 

Here are a couple of my all time favorite dorks

well, I guess I could be “hip.” I just don't wanna.

I'm not sure I'm properly differentiating between dork, dweeb & geek. I think I'm “semi-geek” (not sure of the dork overlap, don't know if I'm perceived as being goofy or crazy: YOG SOTHOTH SAVE ME! THE 3-LOBED BURNING EYE!!! ya know, that sort of thing).  Some might say (and they have) that I'm neurotic; but, if someone says there's a problem using a chainsaw (which they did) if you're left-handed (which I am), wouldn't you query further? Why is that neurotic? I MIGHT NEED TO USE A CHAINSAW! 

But, I digress…”Hip” is being the real you: dorky, geeky, dweeby, etc.

Rock the real self, everybody! Salutations, Dorkdom!

Thanks for the link PEACE S, 
SCRIBE,  neurotic means just the state of the mind of a sane person in this crazy world. So, congratulations if you are that. Anyway the word has becamed a little old fashioned, it's a long time since Sigmund S. Freud inevented the expression.

Archimedes - You really mustn't take your daughter's word for it, especially if she is a teenager.  Nichole, I completely failed the nerd test.  This doesn't mean that I can't be a dork does it? 

91% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
8% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Definitely not nerdy, you are probably cool.


Where did Lars go anyway?  I really loved the animal dances.  That ostrich was something else!  Hi Darina- long time no talk to ! 

Okay, now for some more fun in Dorkdom & Nerdsville

Peri's neighborhood in Portland is Geek Central, which means it is very creative, up and coming and super cool. I think most of the guys were nerds, dweebs, and dorks in school, but developed into Geeks in college and grad school, and that is considered sexy to the xst generation. Maybe. I just noticed they were sucking down coffee, wearing Elvis Costello glasses, and had even cooler ear phones that the blue tooth.

But what do I know. I am so weird there isn't a name for it.

whew!  I don't know whether I should be happy or sad, but I failed the nerd test…I am sporting the title of “not nerd”  Thanks Nicole!

The dorky animals were great! Dorkina stop by anytime:-)

Doolang- nice to meet you and your gallery - some great ones there1

Archimedes - you cant' always trust your kids on these things they have special dork goggles on that skew their vision;-)

Sherri - so glad to see you

Lars - thanks for coming and keeping an eye on things for me while I was away on important dork business

Hey Daydreamer- lovin' your new name and it's barely dorky at all, hence the light-weight, I guess;-)

I bow to the queen, Ariela…trying to imagine what the queen of dorks uses for her crown….

Thanks to all for coming to be dorky with me.

Miz Carla~ weirdo, dork, geek, nerd…we're all basically misfits right, and maybe that's why we all fit so well together here.

It just occured to me how my son teases me by calling me madame bouche and when I asked him why, his answer was I just thought the name suits you, no reason and then he giggles in a way that I start to think he's hiding something.  So with this blog of yours I was reminded it's time to find out so I googled the name.  And to my wonderful surprise, I sense that he meant either that I am a loud mouth or a melodramatic mom (especially when I get upset with him or his dad), or whatever.  We sure have something to giggle about when we meet next week - ha, ha, ha!
