Would you call yourself a 'geek' or not?

If so why?

a nerd is someone who's life is ruled by computers and technology

a geek is someone who's life is ruled by computers and technology and likes it that way

I'm a geek/nerd, and too far engrossed in technology to care about which term correctly describes me. Friendless computer and electronics nut describes me less succinctly but more accurately. ;)

Because I spend way more time with my computer than with anybody else and I don't really mind that.

I am king of the geeks. I still play D&D, I get laid on a regular basis, I am a motorcycle nut (Harley's only, all of these customs can suck it. If you are going to have a true chopper then chop it. Quit fscking around with all the bolt on chrome bullsh!t!), I work on computers and am a Network Operations Manager for the company I work for, tote a gun, and was paid to kill people when necessary when I was an 11b for the Army.

Renaissance Man of Geekdom.

My love for gadgets makes me a geek. I have all kinds of gadgets around my house....

I use VoIP for my home phone service, have wireless in my house, voice activated lights in my living room, and I like online gaming when I get a chance... I actually like sunlight though and certainly like going out and having fun... (bars, clubs, bands, etc)

A geek is someone who is comfortable with their proclivity towards technology. And I'm oh-so comfortable with that in my life. :)
