Option #3 should be changed to: Obviously in denial about being option #1

 

Huge sports/computer geek myself. Frankly, I think I may be sick with SUPERBOWL FEVER!!!! And yes, contrary to the results of another Armory poll, I am not yet dead, just busy. =D

That sums it up for me. I don't care anymore what people think and I wish I was more like that when I was in my teens than just now when I am older.

Agreed. So long as you don't become an abuser or disrespectful of others. :D :D
so i have a good social life and still play video games...u have to compromise
nope i can't say i'm a geek or a nerd.

 

i do play on line computer games,but i don't know even the most basic of things about computer.i think PC dummy best descibes me

Yeah...this is me as well!!! :)

I used to be a big computer geek, was never really a nerd. I knew all computers, everything about em, but I'm starting to get out of the hardware loop, but I still know basically I need to know. I have drifted more into an electronics (PCBs, transistors, resistors etc) geek, as I just took a class in that stuff, and something along the line of being an Electrician could be a possible career. I might take a mechanical or architectual course next year as I am more interested in blue collar work, that would still have decent pay, instead of sitting around in a cube 10 hours a day, if you know what I mean.

 

As flipster said, you could call me transient as I have many friends withen different groups, only people that never really accepted were some of the football and basketball jocks.
