    Urban Dictionary: geek
    www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=geek
    A geek is a person who is socially excluded from a general population. Unlike nerds, geeks do not necessarily have to be smart.

    Urban Dictionary: Nerd
    www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nerd
    A person who gains pleasure from amassing large quantities of knowledge about subjects often too detailed or complicated for most other people to be bothered with.

    Urban Dictionary: dork
    www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dork
    Someone who has odd interests, and is often silly at times. A dork is also someone who can be themselves and not care what anyone thinks.

    according to these definitions, I'd say Nerd/Dork for me. Not geek.

    I definitely have some nerdy tendencies.

    I'm a gamer. I devour any Elder Scroll game and still play my N64 all the time. Currently playing Majora's Mask. :) I also like Pokemon and play DDR/Stepmania/ITG.

    I'm definitely a movie nerd. I love anything from Studio Ghibli and Disney to horror to stupid comedy. Some of my favourites are Oldboy, Spirited Away, Paprika, Ratatouille, Drag Me to Hell and Cabin in the Woods.

    And I love making stuff. I'm an artist, graphic designer and face painter. I also make my own cold-process soap, cross-stitch, make jewelry, and paint on any surface possible. And I love to cook.

    I have a lot of hobbies. :/

    i don't like today's definition of nerd. it used to be somebody who studies really hard and gets good grades. not someone who watches star trek or collects stamps.

    Why do you assume those that love Star Trek or collect stamps are not smart? A person can have hobbies and things they enjoy while still being intelligent. I love Star Trek and would watch it every night while going through school and yet I excelled.
    I was in AP, the marching band , I can speak two languages, play multiple instruments etc. I think you're judging a bit too quickly. I love learning on a continual basis but I also enjoy other things as well. People lists things they enjoy doing because it's almost a given that certain types of people like certain types of things and generally a place of common ground.

    Haha, I agree. I'm not the best nerd in terms of doing math..actually very bad at it. But I love art and theory and I read dry material all the time for school while trying to play Settlers of Catan online on the side. Being a nerd this day in age is so different.

    I disagree. I think a GEEK is into odd interests. A dork is socially excluded. Hence the term "geeking out" and "sci fi geek" "drama geek", etc
