OK.  I am afraid that I would have to be included in the "geek" category.  I do computer sstuff for a living, as well as play the piano.  Is that official enough for you?

[i_m_robot]

What type of system board do you have (an ultimate show of geekdum)?

[Tash]

But i think geeks are like ... fanboys. nerds aren't at that level yet.

I was a geek when I was young and I'm still a geek now at fifty-seven in the eyes of most people around here where I live. I was never prepared to bend over backwards to change myself to suit fashion or society. I have always just been myself, geeky or otherwise. After many years you realise that feeling differently about many things is a pretty good way to be and you get very proud of it. It gives you insights into all sorts of things. I've kept my friends, some for more than fifty years. I've experienced love, marriage, family - all the sustaining life forces - without compromising my geekness an inch. It doesn't mean you can't interact socially - the trick is not to change yourself to do it - be yourself and others can take it or leave it.

Nerd here.  Computers.  Piano.  Music theory.  Violin.  Technicalities.  Vocab size woes.  Obsessions.  Obsessions with rules.  Maths.  Physics.  And I actually like studying.  (Out of class.  Some classes are boring enough to make you hate a subject) 

In my class, we have an unofficial nerd club.  Five members.  To qualify as a nerd, you've got to be really elite.  High grades are a minimum.  And we have privilages.

well, it does. Most people my age (around 20) seem to be in a massive hurry to become jaded and world weary. I however want to be a joyful child for the rest of my life, remaining stupefied by the amazing, beautiful mystery of the universe and all the wondrous things in it (such as piano music).

I love nerds!

I'd say I'm more of a dweeb.  Which is the worst thing you can be. At least nerds get good jobs.  And geeks, despite their terrible smell, at least enjoy being geeks.

anorak   Noun. An often socially inept person, having an obsessive interest in a hobby or subject. Usually has little or no fashion sense, and errs towards eccentricity. Originates from the 'trainspotter' look, of wearing anoraks; spending so much time at the end of station platforms in all weathersnecessitates the wearing of such attire. Cf. 'trainspotter'. Derog

Are you geeks and nerds distinguished from anoraks by your fashion sense?

[paris]

[minimozart007]

[raymagini]

beat this, i once counted the number of individual notes in a piece i was working on

Chopin op. 53   =  5971

[i_m_robot]

1200+

chopin 10-1 forgot the exact number

[musik_man]

I think the following joke is very funny

Heisenburg is driving down the road, and a cop pulls him over.  The cop walks up and asks Heisenburg, "do you know how fast you were going?"  Heisenburg responds, "No, but I know exactly where I am."

If you thought that joke was funny, you are officially a nerd.

[i_m_robot]

what if you though it was funny only after reading it three times then finally remembering who heisensburg was

[dinosaurtales]

Who's Heisenberg? I'm not sure.

[i_m_robot]

he was a scientist who had a theory like so:

the more you know about the speed of a an electron the less you know about its location

the more you know about its location the less you know about its speed

Heisenberg is driving down the road, and a cop pulls him over.  The cop walks up and asks Heisenberg, "do you know how fast you were going?"  Heisenberg responds, "No, but I know exactly where I am."

[i_m_robot]

how bout this one

you know your a geek if this not only makes sense to you (as a nerd would know as well) but you actually have your own theories as to how to prove it wrong

You guys think your geeks? I[m such a geek that while my friends are drinking in my basement i came upstairst to post on pianoforum.net.

what up.

[whynot]

Rob47, that definitely qualifies in my opinion.

I'm not as educated as most of you, but I think I'm still a geek because this is my favorite joke (actually, it's the only joke I know):  "Three popes walk into a bar in Avignon."

lol, I get this one and I get the Heisenburg joke.  I think I must be some sort of super-geek.

[Dazzer]

i don't get the pope one... yay!!!!!

[musik_man]

i don't get the pope one... yay!!!!!

It's a history joke.  It refers to the Babylonian captivity.  Basically, in the 1300's there were two popes.  One stationed in Rome and one in France.  People were split on who the real pope was.

[Dazzer]

but then why three? lol

[Dazzer]

for the geeks

good laugh!

[chopinisque]

LOL

A warning to dabblers!

[whynot]

Thank you for getting my joke!  I don't get to tell it very often.  The papal schism (word geeks can check the O.E.D. for various pronunciations of schism) was something like the late 1300's, when the Italians already had a pope, then the French elected another one, and a council that was formed to sort it all out ended up electing a third.  I don't think it lasted long...

I did not get the Heisenberg, but my husband thought it was funny, so I guess I'm a geek by association.
