Be one with your inner geek

Mollusken, when you are training, it's not about how many kg you are using, but how you are training. Take it easy in the beginning.

I am not a geek. No way. Nope. I do sports and go to the gym about 5-6 times a week. (No, I'm not the big bulldozer type. Im training to be fast and agile.) I always watch sports in television, well I'm generally a sportsfreak.

But then, beside sports, my main hobbies are computers and fantasy, ranging from the forgotten realms novel to warhammer fantasy battle. Hell, the only books I read are fantasy. So maybe I'm a geek! (At least I'm ranting on and on....)

Greets!

 

Well, all this talk about training has me interested. I'm a bulldozer type myself. If anyone ants to see Orkrist the Cleaver, click here:

I hope I don't get in trouble for this?

Well, it doesn't "light up" and its not clickable, but you can type it in if you want.

I've never had a girlfriend.
I've never had a friend (except Minsc)
I spend more time on the computer than off
I get A's and B's
I run on the crosscountry team
I clicked on the link Orkist provided
My one nongeek trait:
I lift weights. so I can beat you all down, or die trying. And it'd probably be the latter.

 

Adding: I get only 5 and 6 grades (in Norway, 1 is the worst and 6 the best) at school (except from in the basic subject of Norwegian). Mathematics, physics and computer stuff are my favourites.

 

I forgot to mention - adorning my bedroom walls are two Warhammer posters, a PC gamer history of gaming wallchart and a periodic table.

 

Ooooo, a periodic table, NASTY!

 

Geeky...

You're definitly being geeky if you're finding this almost one year old thread and replying to it

 

-I love love love D&D, and when I'm not playing, I think about it. I talk about it. I spend much time putting together characters that never see playing time. I create them, y'know, just in case.

-I go to all the ren fairs in the area, and dress up. We've been going to one so long, some of the vendors give us free passes.

-I totally dig history. I'm gonna be a history professor.

-I'd rather go to Gettysburg than Cancun.

-Cool people look at me funny. Actually, all my "cool" friends abandoned me, and now the only people I hang with are my geek brethren.

-I wear glasses. (Well, I have them, and I should, but I sometimes forget to bring them when I leave the house)

-I adore my computer.

-Athletics and I are complete strangers. In high school, I got a 33 in gym. That's a percentage.

Those are all that I can come up with right now, but I'm sure there are more that I'm missing.

 

About the only trait that marks someone as a geek is the shear inability to communicate/interact (sucessfully, mind you) with your fellow humans, inhabiting planet Earth.

I've seen a *WHOLE* (<<<< emphasis) bunch of EE (electrical engineering) geeks, Mathmatical geeks, Compsci (Computer Science) geeks, and Physics geeks.

Not seen too many Biology geeks. Nor Agriculterial Communication geeks.

And, no. Sucessful interaction with your fellow humans does not have to include consumption of ethyl alcohol...

 

I am one.

1.I adore my computer
2.I reply to this
3.I AM NOT athletic
4.I sleep 6 hours usually(once i slept 2 hrs.)
6.I read fantasy books
7.I talk about fantasy stuff
8.I write fantasy stuff
9.I read fantasy books in classes
10.I dont have any popular friends,but they are cool

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
OUT OF TOPIC
I got "The Tails of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" yesterday. Lot of kitty-mitty funny stuff. I have to say that it is one kickass book!It is sooo funny.LOL.
OUT OF TOPIC END

-I don't go out or see friends on weekends at all.
-I read fantasy.
-I've never been on a date with a guy (though I've been asked out, so I don't know if that counts)
-I read Jane Austen when I was in 3rd grade.. and understood it! *gasp*
-I write bad poetry.

 

Well, I can't say I am a geek but here are on of the reasons why I am geeky:
-I stay on the computer 5 hours a day
-I'd rather stay inside to read a book or something than going outside [this is only in winter mind you]
-My ass did *not* hurt after watching the LoTR movie.

 

let's begin shall we...

1. I posted to this
2. I am continuously on my computer
3. I am in a C++ class (leaning more towards networking though)
4. I enjoy DnD
5. I am just now attempting to get a girl friend at 15

But i am balanced also...

I play baseball(catcher, team won second in city as a minor league team in a major league tornament [in a junior league])
I look like I lift wieghts alot, but I don't as much as I should (big shoulders)
and I also don't read all that much

 

~I wear glasses
~I dont fit in with any one at school
~I like the computer
~No one wants to be seen with me
~I try to be part of a group by wearing what they wear and such

I stink over all and will never acoplish to anything, I give geeks a bad name.

Don't know at all, what a geek is. As i already meantioned i can't even understand your language (1.). Suppose i'm not a geek.
2. My Boyfriend stands between me and my computer, but i use my second compi (won't say puter, because that's a bird for me).
3. I have a 1 (best note) in Visual Basic. But that's no real programming language.

 

Oblate- 'note' is translated as 'grade' or 'mark' in english (are you french?)

ejsmith- i study biology at a specialist science and technology college, and can assure you that there are just as many natsci geeks as e.g. compsci geeks.

 

Eze&Shark: You speak Finnish? Cool!

I am a geek, because...

I reply to this thread
I have glasses, that I have to use if I want to be able to see even my own nose
If I woyuld put a little more effort on studying, I'd get As, but as I am lazy as hell and rather spend time on my computer than studying, I get grades from B to C without even trying.
I spend at least six hours on a computer every day.
I love books, and learned to read without any help before I was 4.
I read stuff like Thhe Egyptian or Shogun in Elementary school
I love computer games (Bought IWD & HoW when I was on vacation... see me happy?)
I love all sorts of fantasy books, and can brag that I have read all the DL Chronicles AND legends on a same day
I have no friends to speak of
I have never dated anyone...
I hate any sorts of physical activity except for downhill skiing and cycling
I have been picked on because I am a geek for a decade
When I was in junior high, I took computer studies of sorts... and it usually took me about five to ten minutes to do the assingment, when for others t took the whole two periods... Actually, my recrd was forty-five seconds...
I am skipping school to catch up on the boards after my holiday...

That's a few

Hey, definition time. Is there any distinction between "geek", "nerd", "dork" etc., and if so what are the precise definitions. These things I must know...
