Poll question: Are you a geek?
Or are you something else?

I'm a nerd, but I have geeky inclinations.

29. I liked it
I thought I was a geek but then when I read it I turned out not to be so much of a geek. It's pretty bad when you don't even qualify to be a geek or a nerd, lol.

5. I am a nerd at work.
One guy even joked that my childhood memories were replaced with the info from the refernce book for our job. I think he was just jealous. Or at least that is what I tell myself.
