This article really shows why being a nerd can be a wonderful thing. Since the name of this site is AssortedNERDery I have to assume everyone can relate in some way to little Katie... maybe you like music that people would consider unusual... maybe you spend your paycheck on comics... maybe you build computers/websites... maybe you have been called a nerd or a geek in your life. We all know what it is like to be considered different in some way and have others treat us different because of it. It takes a great group of people to stand up for a young girl that is going through this kind of treatment and it shows the world that being nerdy means being part of a wonderful group of people!
