It usually hits you with little warning, little provocation and little effort. The realisation that you are a nerd. Here are 10 tell-tale signs that you are starting to become a nerd:

1. Your girlfriend/boyfriend made you choose between her/him and the computer… and the computer won.
2. You don’t call it pornography… you call it ‘pr0n’.
3. When you start your car in the morning, you wait for 3 beeps and someone to yell ‘Go!’
4. You quote Wikipedia in your English essays.
5. You can only talk to the opposite sex on MSN Messenger, and fumble for words when meeting up IRL.
6. Speaking of IRL, you actually say ‘IRL’ as opposed to ‘in real life’.
7. You create a list of 10 tell-tale signs that you are becoming a nerd (knowing full well you must be a nerd to know of the tell-tale signs)
8. Your idol is someone along the lines of John Carmack or Jimmy Wales. (Notice how I qouted Wikipedia… fark I’m such a nerd :P)
9. Your best joke is: “There’s 10 types of people in the world. Those who know binary… and those that don’t.”
10. You feel at home at Harvey Norman Electrical and Computer stores.
