See, I still feel I could never advertise on Geek 2 Geek because I'd be selling myself too hard. There are so many geeky things I don't know shit about.
I was sorta' thinking that while perusing some profiles. I'd have to immediately own up to the "not really that much into gaming" thing... and the "having never dressed up and gone to a con" might disqualify me from true geekdom in some eyes....
Well (as with anything else), those people aren't your match, then, right?

There's more than one kind of geek.
Yep, "The Body."
It's so painful to watch that anything in my life going on seems not so bad.
I only pull that one out rarely. It's not pleasure viewing. It's like castor oil.
OMWF is more the usual thing, as it is more actively cheerful (in comparison).
Hmm. I think geek self-labeling is self-identication. I mean, there will always be an Elevator Lady, who will pull "Geekier Than Thou" card, but I think geekery contains multitudes.

On the flip side, there's always someone to point at to say, "At least I'm not like
them
...."
Somewhere, someone will always say something.
It's my new koan.
Well, I went to my mini-mart, and it turns out that all those police things were because a 7 year old jumped off the pier and drowned.
Very sad.
My non-fannish, non tv-watching uncle stopped while flipping channels to watch The Body because he was so mesmerised by how well it portrayed the feeling when a parent died.
