Additional info, added Sunday October 20 2013, 1:06 pm: Thanks for the idea, but I actually know a lot of people doing that. I already am a nerd so it wouldn't be much of a costume.. Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category? Maybe give some free advice about: Doesn't Fit Any Of These Categories? scottishgal1 answered Wednesday October 23 2013, 12:43 am: Well, depending on your genre of nerdyness, you could be lots of things! Pikachu is one of my favorites.One of the ninja turtles? Maybe your favorite LOTR character or WoW player. I was Hermione once. People loved it. My friend is a total nerd, and she's just going as a doe (a female deer) :) . Lots of stores and websites sell anime costumes, too. One girl I know even did a character from a book she was writingone year! Be original, if you want. But my number one is Pikachu. It's easy and recognizable to most. -Good luck! --Hope I helped.

Today with all the electronics Nerds probably don't need pocket protectors. Though they probably need a batter pack to run all the electronics they carry. I'm not sure if they even make the different kind of slide rules that we, those of us old enough to be your grandparents, used back then. If you can find any, search your grandparents house then this might make a good costume as I believe people your age might not know what you're trying to say.
Find some clothing that do not fit properly. A blouse that has a pocket on it and do not match it to the skirt or pants you fined. Preferably a pair pants that are baggy and to short with a belt that is too big. Then hopefully you have found several slide rules of different types, compasses, pocket protectors and a pair of glasses you can take the lens out of.
Accessorize your outfit with all the different old items we used before computers and calculators came to be. In fact a large pocket calculator would go good with your outfit as it would fit in with the look you would be going for.
