My fiancé and I are LOZ nerds. It's what we bonded over. We talk about Zelda canon, we both have a huge dislike of Toon Link (no apologies. We just don't). We are both waiting for our Hyrule Historia and Magic Heart necklace to come in the mail (stupid, slow, Canada Post) from Amazon. We are constantly hunting down new information about Zelda Wii U and will probably get it opening day. We played Skyward Sword together and we are working through the Twillight Princess map in Hyrule Warriors. We finished the main storyline and completely finished the Adventure Map. And never, ever, EVER call Link 'Zelda', because we will hate you.

So, yeah, I totally get what you are saying. Zoey is not a nerd because she doesn't take PRIDE in being a nerd. To me, being a 'nerd' is about loving something (a book, a movie, a video game, whatever) and taking pride in that love. Not apologizing for that love. Loving that something because you legit enjoy it. It's not about shame or silliness, it's about love.

So, yeah. Fail, Zoey. Get away from my nerdom.

FUN ZELDA FACT: Did you know that Princess Zelda was named after Zelda Fitzgerald? F. Scott Fitzgerald'a wife? :3 :3

'To me, being a 'nerd' is about loving something... and taking pride in that love'.

That's definitely the definition, at least according to Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, A Fantastic Fear of Everything, Star Trek, At World's End).

(Not to apologise, but I love squirting facts and factoria like that. It's one of my special skills.)

Agreed on all of that. And not only does she take no pride, but her "love" of "nerdy" things are incredibly shallow. She has one mention of owning Monster's Inc. figurines, but never talks about them after or shows any interest in collecting items like that. She apparently loves movies like Star Wars, but never discusses if she likes the original trilogy vs. the prequels, which movie is best, whether or not she accepts the EU as canon, how she'd feel about Star Trek VII, etc. When it comes to movies, all she does is talk about if she thinks the actors are hot. That's all she cares about!

If you want media about nerd love, incidentally, I recommend the webcomic "Weregeeks". It's awesome and written by people who actually are geeks themselves and thus understand geeky culture (unlike the Cast ladies) and is a lot of fun.

"FUN ZELDA FACT: Did you know that Princess Zelda was named after Zelda Fitzgerald? F. Scott Fitzgerald'a wife? :3 :3"

I did! :D And I'm glad he did, it's such a pretty name. ^^
