Posted: 2/20/2007 6:57:06 PM | Guess I am stuck at the wannabe level since I have NO clue what that computer talk is all about!!
Suppose I'll sign up for the Klingon language camp to make up for my lack of computer knowledge!
Sign me up for the classes, or just beam me up to Canada!!

Posted: 2/20/2007 7:06:46 PM | How about Ohio?! Not everyone here is into OSU football. I'm very much a geek, and I don't see that as an insult...I think that either you embrace who you are (geeky or not) or you try to deny who you are. It is that simple. But, as with other things, geekiness is a matter of type/degree. I know people who are total gamers, some who are into anime, others who live in the local comic shop. Some of those interests intersect, but not all of them, and not always. I used to be part of the local sci-fi convention planning group, and there's nothing like a convention to show you the variety of geeks. Even within 'fandom' there are different catagories of geeks, like filkers, gamers, computer/tech geeks...the list goes on and on.
If it is a Tuesday night, the geek girls may be at home, watching Eureka on the Sci-fi channel...:)
We're everywhere...:)
And, yes, I snort when I laugh sometimes. | |

You have to understand that smoking is against the Geek Code of Honour. Nicotine is definitely a nono. You can replace it with a 12-pack a day habit of Jolt Cola, though, and Geeks everywhere will give you the thumbs up.

Ladies, ladies, ladies... I can't help but notice that you are referring to your Geekiness as some sort of social insufficience. It is nothing of the sort. Allow me to explain the unparalleled benefits of being a Geek Goddess.
First of all, a Geek would rather have lunch with a Geek Goddess than be marooned on a nudist island with Scarlett Johanssen and the Swedish Lapdancing Team. With "women" you end up talking about their sisters, their (UGH!) ex-boyfriends and whether their bum looks too big in that dress. With a Geek Goddess you can enter verbal rapture as you look into her eyes and criticise the NASA Orion program, discuss why Ghost Rider should have been closer to the comic, and analyze what the Sandisk layoffs will mean to the FlashDrive industry as a whole.
And then, when the magic moment arrives and nature takes its course, Geek Sex is hardly the glasses-bumping, braces-clinking, awkward affair pictured in Nerd movies. No. It's an orgasmic revelation of your inner Geek. What is the usual set of exclamations with "women"? "You're the daddy!" "Spank me daddy!" "You're the daddy!" "I've been a bad girl, daddy..." BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING! However, with Geek Goddesses, the verbalizations are profound, meaningful and memorable. "Oh, Ohhhh, Ooooooooooh, you must have spiked the chocolates with extra phenylethylamine!" "Aaaah... that's it... you are the cure for anorgasmia!" "Yes! Exactly! Maintain a frequency of 2.5 Hertz with an amplitude of 12 centimeters at 47 degrees inclination!"
After all, do you really think that the G-spot was named after some weird European doctor? Hell no! It's the G-spot because only Geeks can find it!!!
Geek Goddesses Pwn! | |

This rule is true, but only for the upper echelons of high geekdom, if you're more borderline then the rules are much looser. | |

Posted: 2/21/2007 5:39:08 PM | Anchises...Dude, I'm pretty sure I mentioned accepting and even embracing who you are. I've totally embraced my geekiness. I'm not as well-informed as you are, especially where new high-tech stuff is concerned, but I also don't have time to keep up with it. Give me a technological advance which will cure my Diabetes (or my migraines) and I'll be right there with ya, singin' the techie tunes...:) But you are clearly way smarter than I am...
I have nothing against being on the cutting edge of technology, either. Indeed, I wish I could hook you up with my friend Earnest, and you two could talk tech stuff forever...:) It is just that most new tech advances don't help me with my Algebra class... | |

Posted: 2/21/2007 7:39:44 PM | Oh, and I am hell with my bat'leth!!
I took the geekyness test and scored 22%. My low score no doubt has to do with the fact that I did not become a Star Trek fan until my mid-thirties.
Qapla'!! | |

Don't worry. The score is projected onto a bell curve for culture-fairness along the lines of the Cattrell IQ test. It takes into consideration the varying amount of Trekkiness that any given Geek will bring to the quiz. After all, it would be unfair to expect all prospective Geeks to be able to know the number of non-Delta Flyer shuttles that were onboard Voyager in drydock and where the hell they stored them all!
To snoogins
Hey, total Geek, don't worry. You won't have to resort to your Xbox, and besides, I don't think that marriage to an electronic appliance is legal in your state. The great thing is that Geeks are everywhere. Sometimes because of their "unique" social skills they are hiding in the shadows, but if you look hard enough you'll find them. Lemme give ya a tip as hot as putting the moves on the guy who calls in because he's getting the Blue Screen Of Death on his Win XP box. LAN Parties!!! Nowhere in the world will you find a similar concentration of (uncostumed) Geeks! Chances are any other females at the LAN Party will be 13 years old and Geeks are many things, but not teen predators. You just march in wearing an old MIT sweatshirt, (preferably that's all you'll wear) and carrying a QX6700 4GB RAM box with an 8800 card (obligatory) and announce to the room: "Ready to meet your doom, n00blets?" Your biggest problem then is going to be choosing which one you take home. And yes, you'll have to choose just one, since Geeks and menages don't mix.
To Coraline39
Geekiness is not a handicap but a privilege! I'm so happy that you have embraced your Inner Geek! You can overcome your medical difficulties by maintaining a positive Geek attitude! All Geeks are equal in the sight of the Geek God, therefore there is no one that is any smarter than another, we're all just different so we can bring variety and spice to the Galaxy of Geekiness. And don't worry too much about your algebra. It's just a weapon of math destruction anyway!
To Skyliner
First of all, a Geek Goddess would never attack you with a knife or anything else. She is way too smart to do something that direct. She'll just head down to Home Depot and come back with a couple of bottles of Marfarin and Malathion. If you ask her about that she'll just say that she's tired of the bugs in the garden and the mice under the stairs. However, those two readily available chemicals decompose so quickly in the body of the human victim that they can't be detected by autopsy, and the coroner will have no choice but to call it natural causes.
To Designingwoman
My Klingon Princess, for you I would take my last quaff of bloodwine, sing my last song:
Qoy qeylIS puloD: Kahless' sons hear
Qoy puq'be'pu': Daughters hear
yoHbogh matlhbogh je' SuvwI': Warriors who are brave and loyal
Sey'moHchu' may' 'Iw: Battle's blood totally excites them
maSuv manong 'ej maHoHchu': We fight, we are passionate, and we perfectly kill
nI'be' yInmaj 'ach wovqu': Our lives are not long but they are very bright!
batlh maHeghbej 'ej yo qIjDaq: We will certainly die with honour, and in the Black Fleet,
vavpu'ma' DImuvpa' reH maSuvtaH: Before we join our fathers, we continue to fight
Qu' DamevQo' maSuvtaH, ma'ov: We refuse to stop the mission, we continue to fight, we struggle forever!
And confront a squadron of disruptor-armed Romulans with only my bat'leth and my passion for you as my weapon. And as I cross that final river into Stovokor, I will wait for you and prepare your throne of honour at the court of Kahless!
There, who says that Geeks are dispassionate social cripples? Guys, that little story is guaranteed to have any Trekkie woman melting at your feet!!!  | |

Posted: 2/22/2007 9:07:26 AM | I scored 40.8284% which ranks me as a "Major Geek". W00t!
If there had been questions about BSG, Heroes, Dr. Who and ESPECIALLY BTVS/Angel it would have been higher.
Fracking slackers need to update that test and add goth categories INCLUDING Voltaire questions, dagnamit. :: shakes fist ::
P.S. The reason 6 likes Baltar even though he's a total weasel is because he's HAWT. Although I strongly believe Sharon made out considerably better in the boy department. Helo = yum. | |

Posted: 2/22/2007 4:11:56 PM | No kidding, gothyGeek! I took that test, and it was all gaming this, comic books that. I noticed that in the "I Want..." section, the guys could select wanting Buffy or WIllow, but I didn't see a place for us to select Angel, Spike, or Oz! Or even Xander or Giles, if your taste runs that way. At the end, I noticed where it asked if you could think of more things that should be on the test, and I could thing of tons. Like, Buffy/Angel, Babylon 5, and a ton of writers they left out, like Mercedes Lackey and Neil Gaiman. And they barely touched on vampire stuff, not even Vamp the Masquerade either, just silly stuff like "Do you wear fake fangs?" I only scored about 24.8%, but if I could have checked boxes that said "I can't do this, but have a good friend who can." I would have scored much higher.

Posted: 2/23/2007 7:19:51 AM | So can you be a geek of any type then?Does your level of geekiness rest on how much you obsess on a certain hobby-pastime?I would consider myself to be a gamer-geek with a heavy Sims addiction....but what about books?I am a voracious reader,doesn't anyone read anymore?I'm a Stephen King lover...just got 15 of his hardcovers yesterday from a trade with a friend...I'm in geek paradise lol.
Officially,I consider myself to be a geek/dork hybrid...once I up my puter skills I can step fully into geekdom...I think that's where all the sexy geeks are! | |

Posted: 2/23/2007 10:01:27 AM | Okay, I got it -- 49%
I guess I lost a lot of points because I find math and calculators and doing people's taxes quite boring and lame. | |

Posted: 2/23/2007 10:34:14 AM | | I missed the test link at first too, I got 37%, major geek. The way the test is scored, the lower numbers aren't that bad. >15% is a fully fledged geek, and >25% is a "total" geek, the highest catagory possible is only 75% and that's for someone so geeky they're completely dysfunctional. | |

Posted: 2/23/2007 10:35:41 AM | I don't fancy myself a proper geek... I have difficulties dealing with my computer on a regular basis, and sometimes the tech talk my friends spout at work makes me daydream like Homer Simpson about dancing Russian bears...
However...
I have a signed copy of the Director's Cut of Dune... both David Lynch and Kyle MacLaughlin were kind enough to honor me with an autograph.
Colm Meaney(Chief O'Brien) was kind enough to buy me a beer at Atlanta Int'l Airport
I have a signed copy of MacBeth from Sir Ian McKellan
and I have every Classic Trek star's autograph except Jimmy Doohan. He was a prick when I asked him.
A techie? no... and I respect those who are... but a bit of a fan? yep...
and remember...
"Usul no longer needs the Weirding Module..."
BTW... this test link of which you speak? where would one find it? | |

I personally prefer to be called a nerd
But I do like my men a tad geeky :) | |
