Are you a geek? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers9 months ago

I admit that I can be a geek sometimes. Also, I'm proud of being one and I'm not at all annoyed by the label. In fact, I wear it on my sleeve. Ha ha. I am a tech geek and I love everything that has to do with new gadgets and cool software. Right now I'm going geeky on "abandonware". I am also a literature geek and I always like reading about stuff especially if I haven't heard of it before. I wouldn't have discovered the books of Neil Gaiman, for example, had I not been a lit geek.

So are you a geek? YOU SHOULD BE PROUD.^___^

i prefer to be called a spaz! and yeah, i am proud of it!


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

After reading your comment, I might have spilled chocolate milk on my keyboard. LOL
And then I soon realize, I wouldn't mind somebody calling me a spaz too.


myLot reputation of 70/100. cannette1 (1409)   ranked 3,838 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

spaz has such a nice ring to it!


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Yeah, I know. Geek rhymes too much with weak. Spaz sounds so much better (and cooler). Which I know defeats the purpose because kids these days don't find geeks "cool".


myLot reputation of 70/100. cannette1 (1409)   ranked 3,838 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

i don't think kids have ever thought geeks were cool. unless, of course you were/are one. i have never really cared what anyone thought/thinks of me. i do my own thing and i do what makes me happy.


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Which I think is the whole idea of being a geek. There's really no problem if people find us cool or not. We're the more tolerable version of the high school rebels. Or so I think in our own little world.


myLot reputation of 70/100. cannette1 (1409)   ranked 3,838 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

and i'm usually in my very own little world. ha,ha! but yeah, that is the whole idea.


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Our little world will soon expand... just you wait. One day the world will be ruled by us geeks. Ha ha.


myLot reputation of 70/100. cannette1 (1409)   ranked 3,838 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

that was an evil laugh!


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

You bet it was!

It was also antagonistic and maniacal. And slightly creepy.


myLot reputation of 70/100. cannette1 (1409)   ranked 3,838 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

but i appreciated it!

Just doing my part for the geekdom. thumbup

I always thought of myself as more nerdy, but was informed not to long ago that i was actually a geek. Actually did a discussion on what the difference was in a geek and a nerd. Apparently i dont dress the right way to be a nerd. Althought i am not good with gadgets....my collection of books is amazing...well to me it is awayshappy


myLot reputation of 95/100. pheonixstar1982 (1298)   ranked 37 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I also have to add that i wear my geekiness as a badge of honor.


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

And you should! I have one shirt where it says: "Geeks rule!!1" w00t


myLot reputation of 95/100. pheonixstar1982 (1298)   ranked 37 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I seen this shirt once i loved but i didnt have the money to get..it said i love geeky guys...i havent been able to find it since.


myLot reputation of 70/100. cannette1 (1409)   ranked 3,838 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

you could make your own with the iron-on letters!


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Mine was just a shirt especially customized by my friend. He used iron-on decals too.:)


myLot reputation of 95/100. pheonixstar1982 (1298)   ranked 37 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I should do that. I have a program where i can my the design on my computer and print it out on this iron paper and transfer it to a shirt..hmmm the possibilities.


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Try any of the following:

- I am married to a geek and I feel GREAT!
- Geeks are the best lovers. They perfected the equation.
- There are geeks all around you and they're plotting something big.
- GEEKSPEAK: Language for Non-Idiots
- 1 + 1= 10 and I can prove it!


myLot reputation of 95/100. pheonixstar1982 (1298)   ranked 37 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Well i cant do the first one since im not married..but i love the rest.


myLot reputation of 70/100. cannette1 (1409)   ranked 3,838 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

you could start a whole business. if you do spaz shirts, i'll buy one!


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I actually have one which mimics the "Blue Screen Of Death". All my friends from the engineering department love it! Ha ha. It's just so cool to have a shirt made out of that popular Windows error.


myLot reputation of 95/100. pheonixstar1982 (1298)   ranked 37 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I have to agree with yall and say spaz does have a nice ring to it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. pheonixstar1982 (1298)   ranked 37 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

That is funny.


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I actually wear it when I go to engineering/science gatherings and anime conventions. It's quite a crowd pleaser (especially with the tech people).


myLot reputation of 95/100. pheonixstar1982 (1298)   ranked 37 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I have a shirt that i got at a book festival and i wore it when i went to a book signing and i think my shirt was the biggest hit there. Since i don't know much about computers...its my equivalent to your blue screen of death shirt.


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

What does it say? I can only imagine a "Got books?" shirt which is a wordplay on the "Got milk?" slogan. w00t


myLot reputation of 95/100. pheonixstar1982 (1298)   ranked 37 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Think a little trashier. Its says booksl*t. Wearing it generally gets me a lot of weird looks, but then you have the few that actually get it and love it. First time i wore it this chic was flipping out because i was wearing a shirt that said sl*t on it. Then there was the book signing where ever one loved it and a few asked the the place that i got it from. Do you know how awesome it is to have one of you fave authors tell you how much they love your shirt?? Then the last time i wore it started a conversation with a cashier on what kind of books i like.


myLot reputation of 92/100. inkyuboz (394)   ranked 595 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I wouldn't say I know the feeling but I can imagine it. That must have felt really great! And all because of a shirt.^_^


myLot reputation of 95/100. pheonixstar1982 (1298)   ranked 37 out of 19,099 in questions & answers  9 months ago

It was and i really need to get the pics uploaded of that day, but since the pics were not taken with my camera...getting them have been a small issue.
