A friend of mine has started a new interest Geek Girls! I keep seeing people say, "I'm not a geek." or "Am I a geek?" Well I thought I'd try to help out. Because I think the myLot is totally overrun with GEEKS! Here's a little info for you, to help you decide if you fit in geekdom. BTW.... geeks rock!! Geeks are IT! Geeks fit into so many niches in society and, face it, we keep the world turning!

"The word geek has different and blurred meanings, but there is certainly a center of gravity for the definitions. In its more general usage, a "geek" is anyone that knows a lot about a certain area that you don't. For this reason, geeks are associated with knowledge, sometimes knowledge of Star Wars, comics, or anime.

There are drama geeks, literature geeks, computer geeks, and so much more. If you think about it, the name of this site is quite fitting, because its aim is offering niche articles on specific, sometimes obscure topics. There are the obvious science and technology geeks, but also law geeks, gardening geeks, manufacturing geeks, even - presumably - geek geeks." quoted from www.wisegeek.com

Geeks
are intelligent, creative, a little bit rebel, like humor, sarcasm, dance to their own music, don't really care what others think, sensitive, quirky.........


So...not tell me how you are NOT a geek! Come on...try to find a nongeek reason!whistle

I fit the definition, although I always thought of myself more as a misfit than anything else, even where I DO fit in I feel alone...

Irish Darlin,

That was an excellent explanation of geekdom. I think you covered most aspects. I say most because I'm not sure but guess that others have their own kind of geekdom. That's what makes the topic so perfect here in Mylot. We are geeks that flock together to gather more information and most of all Companionship. I wub you Irish Geek. Hugsssssss

Geeks "dance to their own music..." in other words don't belong to a clique or category, therefore I'm not a Geek! rasp


myLot reputation of 93/100. aslanlight (1574)   ranked 1,811 out of 35,311 in people  4 months ago

Wait a minute I've confused myself! lol

I was trying to say I'm not a Geek because I don't belong to a Geek club. I think that what I'm saying is that true Geeks don't flock together according to your definition of them dancing to their own tunes.

Therefore I suppose I am a Geek! confused


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7387)   ranked 489 out of 35,311 in people  4 months ago

No..but we know each other and stand up for each other. That's our club!

I wasn't knocking your club, just playing around with the word geek and your definition of it.

I like this definition of a Geek. According to your research, I am a geek. I think we are all geeky about something in our lives. We just have to find what that something is.
Embrace your geek-hood!!!
