    Where is the book geek category?! I would be Book geek with a side order of Internet geek and small parts film and sci-fi geek.

    I agree the absence of Book Geek is bothersome - I'm a bit of one of those too... Wow, I'm too many types of geek.

    Science geek (if we can add to the list) otherwise I am 97% encyclopedica geek..... Since 2010 I have all of wikipedia downloaded on my phone (for those times I cannot get signal.) Before that I had it on my PDA.


    Knowledge rules!

    I would be the how does it work; I can fix it and make it better than before (*I hear the six million dollar man music in my head again*... ) even if I am up all night.

    I am the I love colored pens and posties geek. I get a buzz in bookstores, libraries, office supply and computer stores. The kind of geek that has a listening device. Eeks, the kind that when offering a friend an extra drink, I say "You should take it, they are just going to delete it". Ugh <rolling eyes>

    IT Crowd - Rocks... "Have you tried turning it off and on?"

    According to the graphic, what we're dealing with here is "das Übergeek". But the breathing part is exaggerated. I mean I hear it during the interviews and other things but that's normal right? Normal? I also dabble into Star Wars and Video Games as needed.

    ...and Gamer. But any gamer-geek worth his salt knows that you play on a PC. Final Fantasy and DoA my buttocks.

    I would say any gamer-geek worth their salt knows you play with a stack of books and dice...but maybe I'm just old...<grin>...I pick the pocket of the lich...

    Hmmm... I guess it's chick geek / star wars geek / gamer geek for me.

    Can I get a "weirdo geek" thrown in there? How about a "grammar geek"? Most people just look at me and shake their heads.

    Also in the defense of Old Navy, they have really nice jeans for fat chicks.
