Notes

<p style="font-size:16px;color:#003366;font-weight:bold;">When you identify yourself as a geek, you are not saying anything about your personality traits or your ability to socialize,what you mean is that you are perpetually passionate about technology and inventions,
that you enjoy making robots and writing codes, and that you feel that same giddy rush towards cosmology as some do towards literature.<br><br>
…but that’s different than what it means for you to be a geek, right? Or a nerd, whichever you prefer.
You might not like gaming or sci-fi at all. Maybe you like urban fantasy or mathematics. Maybe you like programming or kitbashing or writing fanfic.<br><br>
We might have some similar interests, you and I, but quite possibly, we may not like any of the same stuff at all. Yet here we are, sharing the same virtual space, feeling kinship in our geekhood.
But what does all geeks have in common?
The thing that all geeks have in common (other than carbon) is not what they are interested in, but how they go about consuming their interests. “Consuming” is the perfect word for it, because geeks are rarely a passive audience.They devour their interests. They are driven to know how things work. It isn’t enough for them just to enjoy something. When something piques their interest or elicits an emotional response from them, they have to know why. They have to dissect it, put it under a microscope, and come to understand it on a molecular level .They enjoy seeing things that were made by like-minded people. They like making things that require them to be meticulous.
They like using their brains, and they like to interact with other people who like using their brains, even if they don’t use their brains for the same things.<br><br>
They are, perhaps, the most enthusiastic people on the planet.<br><br>
That said, being a geek doesn’t require one to be a walking encyclopedia. Being a geek is all about one's own personal level of enthusiasm, not how his level of enthusiasm measures up to others.
If you like something so much that a casual mention of it makes you whole being light up like a halogen lamp, if hearing a stranger fondly mention your favorite book or game is instant grounds for friendship,
if you have ever found yourself bouncing out of your chair because something you learned blew your mind so hard that you physically could not contain yourself— you are a geek and this is the right place for you to show up .So all you geekers out there come forward,take your geek pride and become the biggest geek of all time!
