I'm all three. Dork, nerd and geek.

Also, haven't been blocked from the forum, so I guess I'm okay. Although, I haven't done anything to contribute to it either.

I like to think of myself as a disturbing hybrid of cultural acceptableness and geekiness. I love dungeons and dragons and video games and old cartoons, but I also try to be well-versed in "regular people topics" so I have something to talk about with everyone. I am not very technically proficient aside from film equipment, though.

Ha, I saw that before I came on here and saw the thread. How awesome.

But yeah, I'm a Geek/Nerd hybrid... though more nerdy than anything else.

I think xkcd has a few of our places bugged sometimes:

I believe I'm just a nerd and a dork. Geek doesnt seem to fit too well on me.

I'm a total mix of the three. Around my friends I am a total geek, bragging about the cool things that I buy and my computer. When I'm alone I tend to become more of a nerd, expanding my knowledge via the internet or books. Around strangers I'm a total dork.

Lmao. You need a budget, Katana. A very small, well rounded budget

Tell that to my bank account.

One of my friends likes to argue Geek was his time, and nerds were our time. But I dunno. Oh well!

I am "awesome" in the end.

Adorkable suits you well. XD

And thank you for the clarification, Rogue. Not sure if it was off topic or not, but the thread title reminded me of the conundrum. Either way, I'm thinking being "cool" might be cheaper. I've been looking at the money I spend for my fandom, and the money "cool" people are spending and...Well, I can see why I'm always broke and my nieces aren't. :p

"Adorkable" aye? I'll accept that.

There is indeed a difference.

Geek refers more to a follower of fandoms and nifty-type dealies, while a nerd is more into technical stuff and spending time edifying themselves. A dork is someone who's awkward in every which way.

Personally, I think Xeu's more adorkable.

..there's a difference?

I was under the impression that all three were the same.

I made this apparent to my superiors at work and they all laughed their asses off. So being in the army makes you not as geeky as people think you are. What the crap?

Isn't there a difference between the terms "Nerd" "Geek" and "Dork"? My "cool" little cousin was trying to teach me, cuz one day I actually professed to turning to the "cool" side because being a "nerd" was too expensive, and she started correcting me...and then I realized I didn't understand "popular" talk, so I tuned her out.

Damn thats a lot of quotes. XD

Does this mean I'm geeky enough? XD XD XD

Yep, you're geeky enough for us. Maybe they've had a rash of trolls and thought you were one. Geeks just love power, so yeah. Most of the time they're geeky douches.

Let me join just for the hell of it. I wanna see if I get popped off.
