I'm Not Sure Whether to be Honored or Offended

Next week is Spirit Week at school.  Cast your eyes upon the theme for next Tuesday:

I mean, I'm a bit speechless.  My nerd friends and I are certainly honored by this kind of recognition?  I mean, having people dress like us for a full day?  Wow.  Then again, why do we need a special "Nerd Day?"  Every day is Nerd Day in my world!

Should I be honored that our elected student representatives are taking us nerds into account?

Or insulted that everyone will dress weird make a mockery of true nerdom?  Nerdom is not wearing large glasses, knee-high socks and collared shirts, as the sports teams seem to believe.  Umm, you're thinking of hipsters.

The only way to fully dress for Nerd Day is to come to school made of awesome. Which I doubt the majority of my school will be able to do.  Oh, well.  It shall be fun, regardless.

  1. People at my school seem to believe that a nerd is an individual with poor eyesight (the fact that I wear glasses is irrelevant to my argument) and poorer fashion sense. :P

  2. I really, really really like ugly sweater day. Maybe I'll use it as a fundraiser for one of the social welfare clubs at my school.
    Oh my god. That sounds soooo fdhkfewj.
    Anyways.
    Have fun, despite the hipsterness of nerd day.

  3. We just have random dress up days at my sixth form, they're usually quite boring, like stereotypes or cross dressing.

  4. WELL MY SCHOOL IS COOLER CUZ WE HAD A HARRY POTTER THEMED SPIRIT WEEK! AND WE'VE ALWAYS HAD NERD DAY ONCE A YEAR!
    I love Nerd Day! :) Everyone at my school is nerdy, but regardless, everyone dresses as the most stereotypical nerd they can think of.
    I also miss Opposite Sex day. Evidently, it's offensive to transsexuals.

    1. Did you just say viper? That was a Marcus reference, wasn't it?

  6. Have fun! Though the popular people will try and still make out that they're cool no matter how they dress or act
