Think Geek

OK, I'll admit that...my skin barely sees enough sunlight to make the vitamin D I need to survive, I spend nearly every waking hour with my nose buried in a book or the computer, and I have sudoku on my phone...but does that make me a geek?

One of my best friends sent me a link to a geek test, because she was curious about my score. (Does that make me a geek?) I was curious too...so I took the test. She felt it was a crime I didn't get 100%, but I was shocked that I scored as high as I did. Take the test, leave a comment with your score (please...I want to see), THEN read on.

I must admit, I really don't know what is geeky...but this quiz brought up a few things that I would like to address:
  • Spending time on a computer for fun, does not make you geeky. It's what you do on said computer that makes you geeky. I am sure that there are plenty of non-geeky things to do on a computer...I just don't enjoy any of them.
  • ***SPOILER ALERT***James Maxwell could have been a lucky guess. You're not geeky till you know what he's famous for....and can derive it in less than half a page.
  • This is a very tech-savoy age...who doesn't know how much RAM their computer has.
  • A high GPA doesn't necessarily mean geeky...you may have majored in underwater basket weaving.
  • Yes, the real element is there...OK, that was geeky.
  • Why does only having a few friends make you geeky?
  • Those pointy ears stick out!
  • Just because I choose a TI over an HP doesn't mean I'm geeky! True the HP is the better calculator (at least they were when I was buying calculators), but they speak backwards Pollock.
  • Just because you know that they are programming languages doesn't mean that you know what to do with them.
  • Multi-colored notes are pretty!
So, have I been dethroned?
