      I have to ask... Why did someone say you weren't really a geek, and what _was_ your geek score?

        Myhubby was the fella who said I wasn't geeky enough.

        Why? Becuase I don't personally invlve myself in quite a few things "geeky", such as:

        1.) Multiplayer RPGs - I like to plan video games, but haven't gotten into online games. Even though hubby loves UT and Tribes. I don't care that he plays (and I even encourage him), just not my deal.

        2.) Unlike him, I don't have a laptop that I insist on taking on vacation. This makes me crazy! How naked do I need to be to make him close that damn thing? (that was a rhetorical question incidently :)

        3.) I don't "do" wireless - why not? Becuase everything I need to do I can do with a cable, and there is just too much to worry about with regard to staying secure. I tend to be very conservative when it comes to security and technolgy, and prefer to enjoy my time off.

        It's been a couple of years since I took the geek test. Since I am BORED out of my skull being stuck in an Ethical Hacking class (yes, oxymoron, I know) maybe I'll go take the test and be back with scores in a bit...

            I am 49.90138% Super Geek.

            and, 47.92899% even when I take off the bonus points for being a girl geek, and take off "I can think of other things that should get me points on this test".

              hmmmm...

              1) That's geek social culture, much like B5 and Star Trek/Star Wars - not a requirement to being a geek (see grammar nazism, bad pun generator, juggling, lock-picking, and other associated activities of social geekdom)

              2) You sounds like you pace yourself, which, as everyone knows, makes for a longer-lasting and more intensely flavored geek ;)

              3) Ah ha! He's got you here! You are <drumroll> ...a closeted security geek!! Realize your geekdom and feel the Pow-ah! *end He-Man theme music*

              *muffled giggle*

              ok, so I negated the last one just because I could... =)

              4) True sign of geekdom. Geek girls do indeed love geek boys.

              I wonder what your hubby would score...?

      Are we bringing our our dead or are we not dead yet???

      I'm sure it's not even close to my geekiest, but some examples from this week...

      * I chose to forgo dinner one evening to get quests & levels done on EQII

      * Crashed AND resurrected my boss' computer

      * Found email address for & emailed fave teacher from high school. And got super-excited when he emailed me back.

      * Book purchases this week? Thomas Paine, Theodore Sturgeon, Mary Leaky, some literary criticism by Eco, and some turgenev book I'd never heard of...

      * Going to see HHGTG Saturday!!

      But this week was so busy, I'm lucky I got to geek at all. :-)

        I recently inventoried my comic book collection and have to limit my computer game playing to 4 hours a week so that I can keep up with my studies.

        Besides I am getting a PhD in an academic field, I think that in itself might be frightfully geeky (which is good!)

        Dating a man who doesn't "get" Monty Python would be pretty much like dating a republican I think, no firm foundation on which to build a relationship, you know?

                Okay here goes--
                I'm a librarian
                14 years experience in technology installing, troubleshooting
                Taught technical writing for 4 years
                Was on the Internet starting in 1991, started programming in html (one workshop) in 1994
                I collect robots
                Went to my first scifi convention in 1974, with my great-uncle, an uber scifi geek
                That makes me a legacy
                Took critical theory and film theory in grad school and liked it
                Love Scifi channel
                I love office supply stores and finally
                I'm a project analyst and my bosses so worship my anal retentiveness. They get psyched when I come up with new ways of doing things. I work with programmers, project managers, and network engineers and I feel like the translator in the fucking United Nations. It rocks.
                This tribe rocks too. That is why the boys must adore us ;)

                And yeah -- academia = geekiness to the tenth power. to live it and survive you have to be a righteous geek
