I want to poke a dead body with it.As for me, geekiest thing I ever did? Rebuild my Vic-20 from the circuit diagrams in the back of the user's manual after the roof sprang a leak.When I new I had a tendency to be a nerd? When I realized that Star Trek was kind of boring, and Star Wars was just a fun, imaginative movie, and not two things to define my life over (not that I ever did, the ludriciousness of someone dedicating thier life to one of those two things, to spend ALL of thier time in a make believe world, and then looking down at RPG players while whining that they don't have a life, just struck me as funny)It's when I realized that programming wasn't fun any more, so I quit. It was when I found out I could build a crossbow, and finished taking metal shop to the point that I could cold-forge or sand pit my own weapons.I realized I was a nerd when I realized that I wanted to know more than the spoon fed crap that the teachers were shoving down everyone's throat in rote memorization patterns while blathering on about uniqueness and using your mind.I realized I was a geek when I discovered it was more fun to go gaming than to go to the drunken orgy/bashes at someone's house or out in the woods.So yeah, I'm a geek, and a nerd.I'm also much, much cooler than I ever thought I'd be. (I can go into a bar, by myself, order a drink, and hang out without feeling self-conscious, can you?)</blockquote>
