The Geeks’ Tube Map by ChoqueFrontal

(via winterinthetardis)

Being a geek is all about your own personal level of enthusiasm, not how your level of enthusiasm measures up to others. If you like something so much that a casual mention of it makes your 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

The Mary Sue defines what it means to be a geek — and I couldn’t have said it better myself.

So guys. There are plenty of geeky girls who enjoy all the stuff you do, and if you stop treating us like a rare species that you want to poke and prod and patronisingly teach to walk and talk, then you might just meet one.

If, however, you need to feel superior to someone. Stop complaining that you can’t get a girlfriend who understands you.

One of my favorite bookstores in the whole world, Page One, is closing down in a month’s time. It opened about the same time I arrived in Singapore, so it feels like coming full circle to visit one of the places I’ve always felt most at home at before I leave. Also, I saved these books from disappearing into the ether.

I wanted to save them all.

After Page One closes, Kinokuniya will be the only big bookstore left in Singapore. That just breaks my heart.

I am a Geek

Call me a geek, a nerd, whatever. (Just not a dork. I do have social skills.) I’m a geek and I love being a geek.

Speak Out with your Geek Out →

gallifreygal:

Take a stance against baiting nerd rage and stereotypes of geeks.

Post about how much you love your geeky hobbies or vocation from Monday, September 12th, 2011 to Friday, September 16th on your blog, website, social media account or in a forum somewhere. Then come here and tell us about it. We’ll have a kick-off post where you can stand and be counted.

Let’s show the world why we’re awesome and why there is nothing wrong with being a geek.

This event came out of the whole Gizmodo stupidity wherein one of their writers basically played “mean girl” and publicly dissed her blind date because he was a nerd who played Magic: The Gathering. (Matter of fact, he was a M:TG world champion but I digress.) Instead of perpetuating negative stereotypes, Speak Out with your Geek out hopes to spread some positive energy about geeky hobbies/interests.

I like this idea. I’ll definitely be participating!

I’d rather be around a passionate nerd than a non-passionate cool person. Because if you lack passion, your soul is diminishing by the second. You have to be passionate about something. Call it obsessed or whatever you want, but be obsessed about something. Obsessed people care. I’m passionate about so many things, it becomes an issue at certain points, but at least you have the ability to feel that much about something.

:D

Of course I do.

Naturally.

…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness.’

I’m not a techie either, but even I know that just restarting my comp won’t work when the issue’s like this. @_@
