A person who identifies themselves/or is identified as a T&S nerd, is someone who has an unhealthy obsession with the Canadian rock band called Tegan and Sara. They refuse to have an "obsession", and categorize it as an admiration or fascination.
They know every quote, have memorized every lyric, belong to .ca and teganandsarabanter.com, they have seen virtually every youtube video on tegan and sara, and have educated themselves to the point of knowing every story tegan or sara has ever told on stage or in an interview.
There are entire international communities of these people, and they are usually lesbians, as both tegan and sara gay. However, they refuse to admit that the reason they listen to T&S is because of their homosexuality. They will often wear tegan and sara merch, the newly released shoes, own pieces of emy storey's art, cut their hair like tegan and sara, or listen to other bands that are affiliated with T&S. These people are far more numerous than originally predicted.

There is a difference between geeks and nerds.
Nerds are smart, people who lack much of a social life. They often have very few friends. Nerds don't talk much, and don't expect others to talk much to them. They are usually nice people, but don't have the social skills to go out and meet new friends.
Geeks are different from nerds in the fact that they have social lives. However, these social lives are often spent pursuing some passion that the geek is obsessed with (i.e. Yu-Gi-Oh!). They spend all their time thinking about their one obsession, and play it in all of their free time. Geeks are usually only friends with other geeks, and attempts to converse with geeks is futile, unless, of course, you want to talk about Star Trek or whatever the certain geek is obsessed with.
Examples of geek obsessions are Star Trek, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic the Gathering, StarCraft, and basically any other RPG.
Nerds are often very shy, while geeks are more outgoing.
Nerds spend most of their free time studying, while geeks make free time so they can play Dungeons and Dragons.
Nerds care what others think of them, but geeks are almost oblivious to the existence of those outside of their geek clan.
Based on all this, I would have to conclude that it is easier to befriend a nerd than a geek, but a geek would probably be a more interesting person.

When needing to immerse oneself in a situation of "nerdy" people, one needs to occasionally adapt oneself to fit in. This is not necessarily a bad thingβit can be hilariously fun and inclusive, rather than having to feel like an outsider. However, it can be bad if the wrong person catches you getting your nerd on, giving them a horribly wrong impression of you (Read: dating potential).
"Man, I'm gonna' SO get my nerd on this weekend at Comic Con."
"Why is it when I go to either a Star Trek convention, Scarborough Faire, or some comic convention, I have to get my nerd on to fit in?"
