Geeks!

[Z]

Salaam. Peace and greetings everyone.

So geeks are cool. I know it, there's no need for you to correct me. I'm wondering how much geeks we have on this board. And what kind of geeks.

The poll is just to find out whether you're a geek or not, and if you vote 'Yes', then you're obliged to reply with a post and let us know what you're geek in.

I'll go first, deal?

[sapphire]

ummmm......geeks???hate that term.....oh welll......

[Nawal89]

I am no way a geek. At least i think so..What are the conditions of becoming a geek? :D:D:D

[Z]

Salaam.

Might aswell add this.

'A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.'

W'salaam

[Z]

Salaam.

[Safa]

:sl:

Dyamn right geeks are cool.

'A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.'

I'm more into scientific pursuits than technical. I wouldn't call myself socially inept though. That would make me what, sort of a geek.

:w:

[Z]

Salaam.

Yes, you can be a 'poetry geek'. Welcome to the club. Ok, so now that's two geeks on this board. Great, we're increasing.

Ah, another geek. You can be a 'sci-geek'. Welcome.

[Re.TiReD]

:sl: ok....well that would make u a scientifeek geek lol (we gta make it rhyme dont we!?) :)

[sapphire]

llllllllooooooool....so everyone is a geek of what they love doing?????hmmmm....i wont say what i am.......

[Z]

Salaam.

Yes, it'll be better if you keep it to yourself. It's a Thursday.

[Muezzin]

I'm not so much a geek as I am just weird.

But everyone's a geek in some way. If you obsess over anything (sports teams for example) you're a geek. Embrace the geekishness.

Or something.

[Re.TiReD]

Salaam.

Yes, it'll be better if you keep it to yourself. It's a Thursday.

lol why bro? are geeks not alllowed to own up 2 their geekishness on a thursday? :sister:

[Khaldun]

:sl:

*walks in, and worries about the sudden increase of geeks on the forums*

Sorry guys, im not a geek, really im not :brother:

[Z]

Salaam.

Let's not commercialise geeks now. It's obvious to tell whether someone is a geek or not. So don't fake it.

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

:sl:

I humbly accept the fact that i am a geek, not only of 1 thing but 2, computers and halo :shade:

[Z]

Salaam.

Ahoy! It's Ahmed. Welcome my fellow geek-brother.

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

:sl:

Can i be considered an LI geek? Cuz that also im sure i am :smile:

[Z]

Salaam.

This is getting out of hand. Why does everyone want to be a geek now? Feeling left out already 'eh. Ha.

[Z]

Salaam.

Yeah, but with people who think they are geeks. Not cool.

[BlissfullyJaded]

:sl:

Wow...so many people in denial... I'll bet Arwa will come in here saying she's not a geek too. :rolleyes:

And, contrary to popular opinion, I'm not a geek. :)

So you're admitting Far7an? :D

[Far7an]

:sl:

The following definition is what most people think of, when the word "geek" comes to mind. The same applies to the majority on this forum too.

A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy

So you're admitting Far7an? :D

I'm going to get a second opinion on that.

[Z]

Salaam.

No no, it's all changed. Just like the word 'gay'.

[nafy]

now im jus confused lol ;)

[Z]

Salaam.

Nice description brother Far7an, sounds like you and ...It is as it were the same... [Surah Naml Ayah 42] :nervous:

Wow...so many people in denial... I'll bet Arwa will come in here saying she's not a geek too. :rolleyes:

Assalamu Alaikum

Salaam.

He who made that defined..hath defined himself ^^^^^^^

in other words...who the heck has time to write out a great load of a definition upon the word "geek"..but a geek himself.

this has become a confession box lol

erm.. i dunno i like a variety of different things, never quite stuck on one thing sooooooooooooo..im just wierd, different, and unique :) not a geek

fi aman Allah
w'salaam

[Sahabiyaat]

yes
but being wierd,different,and unique is being a geek
ur a geek
i'm a geek
were all geeks

i hate that word
geeks geeks geeks
carry on saying it and it sounds like ur saying leeks/leaks :okay:

[WHITEMUSK]

:sl:

i think for the poll you should have had a third option...... which was borderline geeks/ non geeks!! where i mean half and half.

you have geeky traits, yet you're normal....

cz if you're a geek/ a boffin/ a whiz kid/ or simply different cz u excell in the computer and scientificky type of stuff....i dont believe u become a geek cz it comes naturally to you??

why i say this is because some people they have an area of interest but they have to work really really hard to get some where with it. As is the case with me!! I can be thick 50% of the times.... in a goood way, but then the other 50% of the time i might do something out of the normal and even suprise my self.

so i dont know what category i would come under:? :?

If im not making sense..... then i'l give an example.:)

with me.....

my family: might consider me as a geek! why? because i'm always studying, have my head in my books....:confused: but i doubt everyones interpretation of geek are the same:-\

my friends: would consider me as immature, thick and silly.... because there jokes and level of conversations are just on another level and i never understand them....:-\

my tutors: may consider me as a star pupil, becuase i tend to get the best results for my assignments and uni work and they think i'm a hard worker:).... which i am, yet exams are my weakness:confused:

the reality of it all...... is somewhat different

I think everyone has me wrong. I find my area of study is really hard.... i dont understand it.... so i feel, just to be on the same level of understanding compared to the rest of my classmates i have to study four times as hard as all of them.... hence the reason for my head always in books..... I find it really hard, competeing with everyone so i am always under the pressure to do my best..... and usually all the hard work pays off..... but no way does it come naturally to me.... and no way do i do it for fun, i do it so i am not seen as a failure because, my family, friends, relatives and tutors have too high expectations of me and its really hard to meet them:enough!:

& if that makes me a geek in their eyes... i disagree.... and if its based on the fact that i enjoy doing something that is unusual and cz not many people do it then thats just wierd to class someone in a group because they dont conform to the 'normal' or 'boring' areas of interest. :confused:

& no i dont wear glasses.... (although my eyesights not as good as it used to be but i blame the computer screen for that)... and no, neither do i dress funny, like tank tops and stripy, zig zagish sweaters.....(although i think theyre cute)!! I'm a normal person. I hope:eek:

plus sometimes i take things too serious!!

so referring back to the geek question....... i'm neither:nervous: :peace: :blind: :coolious:

:w:

[Shadow]

:sl:
im not a geek mainly because im more into things other than science
to me religion and philosophy is interesting
i love soccer too so i dont think i qualify as a geek
but if geek means to obsess over something then im a "muslim soccer geek"

[The Architect]

'A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.'

I guess that means I'm half geek. lol I'm accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits, but I have a very good social life.

[Qurratul Ayn]

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM

Brother Z, some people associate people who read books as geeks and I love reading books so I guess I am a kind of a geek.

A boy in my school told me that I am a geek and I said to him that it is better being thought of as a geek by people than a bad girl who does negative things and he said true and he never said anything after that!

Assalamu Alaikum
Shakirah

[Nawal89]
