I stay on my computer all day possible, I don't go outside unless forced, my parents make me go outside.. i hate it, my neighbourhood is filled with bastards.. if I'm not allowed on my computer I usually stare at the wall.. i've stared at the wall for over 18 hours without eating or doing anything else.. I have no life.. I'm anti-social in non-computer environments, I hate most people.. and not the goth type of anti-social, they are social, they are fools and self-important in a pretentious sort of way.. i hate them too... I hate people who generalize themselves, I believe I would qualify as a geek, although I wouldn't qualify myself as one being that one-word definitions of a person's personality are generally false in some aspect or another. =) YAY. *is aware of generalizing goth people while saying he doesn't like one word generalizations but usually they generalize themselves with that, not me.*
EDIT- note* beliefs are subject to change without notice based upon current mood.

the only thing more pathetic than a goth is a wannabe goth.

I'm not refering to you btw, just expressing my opinon.

Hopefully you see things from another perspective when you get older. And btw. here in scandiavia theres nothing negative about being a geek, I've never seen anyone get "bullied" by it or anything like that.


The only place I see that is in US movies.

The only reason I'm not called a geek is becuase I play a few sports at school. If I didn't I would be labelled a geek along with my friends. I don't care if I'm popular or not, I do what I want and if people don't like it, so what?

I really feel sorry for the 'popular' people in my school, they're afraid of putting effort into anything because they're afraid of ruining their reputation. Me and my friend's aren't like that, we always try our best and we want to succeed. That's why we're geeks... we don't dress in really, uh, 'geeky' clothing or anything, we just do well.

I don't consider die-hard gamers geeks. a 'geek' is someone loves technical stuff. I consider games as 'entertainment' just like pr0n, movies, tv series etc.

 

[impakt]

I bet you dont consider diehard gamers geeks because you wont admit to yourself that youre actually a geek like the rest of us.

It's an example of a word that has changed usage. No-one can deny that nowdays geek refers to an introverted computer enthuisant, but going by the original meaning (which I was going to post before someone beat me to it) I am not a geek. I am not employed by a circus, nor to I behead foul with my teeth for the entertainment of others.

 

[pinkerton]

lets see. I have no friends, i have no girlfriend, i have no car, I give people who know less than i do a very hard time, i give people too lazy to make their own computer a very very hard time, and im sort of tall, very skinny, have a big nose, big ears, and a funny shaped head. i guess im a geek.

 

[impakt]

smart decision pinkerton, won't regret it.

 

[pinkerton]

just took the test, only 36.29191%, more star trek question and i would of had it. I used to be able to name the director to every movie, but i sort of forgot somewhere along the line, i guess i need to shape up.

 

[RoyalEF]

I am a well paid geek and in demand.
Hope to be for quite some time

 

[impakt]

It would be cool if we could start a new forum based on another domain, for us geeks only :>

Where we could go through every mysterious part of blackmesa and discuss all the puzzles of HL.

Guy I told about it was about 26. But 70?!?!?

 

[ComradeBadger]

Some people are saying popular people aren't nice people. The majority of the so called 'popular' people at my school have souls made of processed cheese. One of them jumped a good friend of mine with all his 18 year old mates. The f**ker. All that lot are a**eholes and ironically enough, no-one really likes them apart from their little 'cool' click. But I have loads of friends, and I like them for who they are, some are 'cooler' than others. But still, there my friends and there equal in my eyes.

 

[Bad^Hat]

I have two - three friends in real real. Only one of them is really nice, the other two are very annoying and... yeah. Other than that I have tons of friends online who are ALL extremely nice, genuine and very loving caring people etc. etc.

Yeah, bein a geek is workin out for me pretty nice.

 

[The Mullinator]

Im 37.681% Geek. Major Geek. That really is the greatest test ive ever seen. (I have my ears permanatly altered to be Spock ears due to plastic surgury )

 

[Fat Tony!]

lol u guys sound too serious. if someone pisses u off punch them in the face that wot i say (not that i do lol) i think that really that geek is gone there should be like a new word something like super cool

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

To be honest i wouldnt call myself a Geek. Or anything else for that matter apart from Chris (Which is my name by the way)
People go around "Are you a mosher?" "Are you a skater?" "You Townie". And i just say "Nooo.....Im a H-U-M-A-N"
