I was just wondering...
How many of you here consider yourselves geeks?

I do. :)

Well, I wouldn't call myself geek, I don't know enough about anything to be one. But I suppose others would since I game (FF, Gran Turismo, Star Wars games, platformers), read (well, used to :( ) and collect movies (I have a few, and I'm doing my best not to expand the collection too fast....but it's hard :P ).

In truth I'm just a weirdo, a one in everyone's eyes. I kinda like it :lol:

No... I just like movies a lot, and I know director's names and that kind of things, but that's just it. I guess some consider that geek, but I'm not one. :P

I'm not exactly geek, but I know much things about computer.

Are there people that know Linux? I'm looking for people to help me with one project...

Same with me. :D I'm known among my friends as the Sonata Arctica Encyclopedia and in the last couple of weeks also as the Poets Of The Fall Encyclopedia, though I'm faaar from knowing that much about the Poets.
Apart from music, I might say I'm a book, movie and computer geek.

Jacob, please DO NOT argue. :)

Although I'm considered by others as a 'geek', I do not feel like one of the society. And when I see what a concentrated geek look like - one of the classmates - I am not sure if I want to be even considered as one. :?

My opinion is - right amount of everything. :)

Sorry, unable to comply... :P
I thought we already got you - you already said that you finally accepted your geekiness. Why did you change your mind?

And btw., you ARE a geek. ;)

I would say that it was a weak moment...you and many others were there and I had a head full of SOC presentation success and our computer party after it :) I was full of foolish enthusiasm.

I'm a POTF geek - actually I even thought that was what the poll was about :roll: And I am one in the sense that I'm a collector's geek, can't even count the number of different song versions, live videos, interviews, photos, wallpapers and etcetera I got in my beloved folder "POTF stuff" on my computer :) Aaaand I spend all of my time when I'm not going through this stuff convincing everyone else POTF is Da Thing.

Except from that I guess I'm nothing but a schedule geek. I draw schedules for everything or else I would forget to do it.

Oh and also I wear glasses :roll:

I'm a geek when it comes to the following subjects: cd's, IRC, message boards, random interactive online games. And loving it all!

Officially, you're my new god. :P

And german is not that hard... okay, it's hard when you compare it to english, but if you study you can learn it. ;)
