Spok

I'm a spok. I'm too good at all my work and I work to fast and my writting is too neat and I have the right answers too often.

And just in case it is sooo long since you have attended highschool you happen to have forgotten, being smart is a social taboo, which is really sad.

I try not to be a nerd. I do my work (quickly, neatly and correctly), but I don't draw attention to the fact. It is possible to have a conversation with me without being told a bunch of usless science facts. I don't spend my free time in the library. I prefer to watch the simpsons than the news. I don't do computing as a choice subject. And I get all the sickminded jokes as well as anyone (and better than Jacqui).

But sometimes being a spok and being a nerd are so closly linked it's impossible to tell the difference. But I assure you, there is a difference. Spoks are just smart. They are good at their work. They are like me. Whereas nerds care about current affairs, they bost about their knowledge, and, quiet often, they are not actually smart at all.

I just looked at what I've written and realised that I haven't actually told you anything and it is quiet possible you have given up reading this post because it is so boring and dull. If you have stopped reading, then sorry for being so uninteresting. And if you are still reading, then sorry for making you read that apology.

Anyway, I am most resantly a spok because I got a better test score than everyone else. It was a reading comprehension test, and every grade did the same paper. I only got one question wrong, a score of 124 out of 125. I did better than all the grade nines and tens, aswell as all the other grade sevens and eights. My english teacher Mrs Palmer gave me a lollypop, because I got the top score, YAY!!! ;)

    Well done Carrot. Does the term spok relate to Dr Spock the guy from star trek or something else. I haven't heard that one before. I am an old fogey when it comes to terminology used by people under 25.

    i'd had no idea until now what spock meant ... and what is it with some people that they think people who study, and r smart are 'spocks' or nerds - coz i dont think they are - or mayb im just not 'in' the 'normel' ways teens think quite yet!!!!

    i think the people that study are being cooler than the ones that aren't - but that's just 1 opinion, i guess!! :)

    The difference between a Spock and a Nerd - a Nerd (me) would complain that Spock was never a Dr in Star Trek (as Joolz suggested). There was a Dr Spock in real life - but he wrote kids books I think.

    And there's nothing wrong with being a nerd/geek either. I'm proud to be one.

    Count me in as a spock too. I got called that at high school. I also must admit to being a nerd as Spock in Star Trek was most definitely MR Spock. Dr Spock is the guy who told people how to raise their kids only to totally stuff up his own. (A quick lesson in not only do as I say, not as I do, but MYOB!)

    It's okay to be a spock, though. Be proud. :)

    Thanks for the correction, I often make that mistake. Now that I think about it, I did know the difference between Mr and Dr Spock. Sorry to the nerds, for stuffing that up.

    I suppose that at Uni, I could have been referred to as a Spock too. I wouldn't have known what it meant then either.

    I never read any of Dr Spock's advice, but I believe he was thrown out long ago.

    Please, please get it right. MR Spock was on Star Trek and he was the really smart one. Dr Spock is a child rearing "expert". Pls to be spelling his name properly, also, yes? Or I shall have to set phasers to kill. I mean it. ;D

    All I can say from reading the comments is:
    LadyJayne and Robert - definitely Spoks and Nerds!

    Joolz - sorry, but you are actually the right era to have known the difference between Dr Spok and Mr Spok, you are so definitely NOT spok/nerd material! Just an old fashioned hard worker, and there's no shame in that!

    Carrots - I know you have no idea who either Mr Spok or Dr Spok are, and your spelling is still atrocious!
