Question Am I a cool geek?

It seems in this day and age, The term geek is some what a good thing, Unlike ten years ago when it meant you were 72 lbs with glasses that had nothing better to do than play DnD with your imaginary friend named Fred (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Im just curious as to how everyone else looks at it, and how they look at them selfs as someone who knows more than the basic's about IT.

Daviet, you definately forgot your medication today!!

Quote from the dictionary:

geek - a sideshow performer who bites the heads off or eats live animals (C19: probably variant of Scottish geck fool, from Middle Low German geck)

Ozzie Osborne

With that head biting thing, I guess that makes Ozzie Osborne a geek. Not exactly what I was thinking of in the way of a geek.

I'm a party geek, usually when I'm not on here or studying for certs, I'm out doing something I shouldn't.

Cool

Amen to that, Actually, I have to study twice as much to get things to stick, simply because of all the brain cell's that get demolished From Partying just a little to much on the week-ends.
