So when I was young, like 10-13 I had a lot of button down shirts that all had a top pocket. My fav was the white one. I would fill the top pocket with my pocket microscope, test tube and pens and think I was a mad scientist. Latter on in school I would keep pens and a 3.5 disk in my pocket and always tried hacking into the At Ease system in the school. Since then I have always been interested in computers and what not. So I consider myself a geek, although my sister says I'm a dork. LOL!

What's say you?

Geek. I developed social skills over time. Unfortunately, too late for high school.

I was a jock, I was the most popular guy in school. Mainly because I had drugs though.

I like to consider myself to be a well-rounded jack of all trades. I'd part nerd, part geek and little bit of dork and jock tossed into the mix. In high school I played linebacker, centerfield and dungeons and dragons. Nobody knew what the heck I was.

I'd say I'm probably between geek and nerd but closer to geek spectrum. In school I hung out with mostly average people. Not so much jocks but they were more into sports than I was and did not care about anything technical and sometimes kind of roll their eyes at my geekness. It's kinda funny though since I'd have my name get called on the intercom, normally that means you're in trouble, but for me it meant somebody somewhere was having trouble with their computer.

I was also always known as the class "hacker". When I was bored I'd tend to make computers do weird stuff, or mess with other people's machines like change their wallpaper.

I'd always get people ask me if I can change their grades. :p I was not into doing anything malicious though, it was usually stuff that was fun and games. Though one kid kept bothering me in typing class all the time, I'd usually completely mess up his session to keep him busy for a while. Floppy + batch file. Insert the floppy when he's turned around, win key+E, open A: run batch file, remove floppy. Could usually do that in about 5 seconds. Next thing you know he has a billion solitaires opening and no way to stop it.

Fun times. I don't know why, people were scared of me when it came to computers. :p

Mostly a nerd but my mother says that I am very handsome, even if I do wear safety glasses every day.

Btw in the U.K. I think they call these girls manbeast correct me if I'm wrong

"Tomboy" doesn't have as strong a physical appearance implication to it, and the connotation isn't necessarily negative. Kaylee from Firefly is a good example of a tomboy (as is Winry Rockbell from FMA, which is Ruby's avatar). Even in a dress she's still a mechanic at heart:
