I'm beyond nerd at this point, really. I don't play WoW anymore (I played for a while though,, when I lived in AZ. Undead Rogue FTW!), so I'm a nerd with downtime... a very dangerous thing.
I think you should be proud of who you are, not in a "White Pride- seig heil" sense, but an embracing sense that you don't deny who you are just because you think that it's lame or people would think differently of you.
Because it'd take too long to explain A LOT of the geeky shit I do, I figured I'd make a simple list (all nice things come in list forms. Breakup letters excluded):
1. I anticipated a translation an english translation patch for a GBA ROM. (It was Mother 3, which I beat a few days back. EPIC ending)
2. I've SEARCHED the internet for hours looking for that special copy of The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past with the Chris Houlihan room that contained tons of rupees.
3. I constantly have my Google RSS feeder open in some window so I can read the newest updates from Wired.com and Filmschoolrejects.com, (an RSS feeder essentially makes it so you don't have to go straight to a website to see if they've updated stories and they just come to you. Kinda like someone sending you an e-mail of a newstory.
4. I listen to podcasts dedicated to video games and I have an RSS folder specifically FOR video game podcasts.
5. I pride myself on my saved episodes of The X-Files on my DvR.
6. I have Firebug extention on my Firefox so I can take and edit HTML to my liking.
7. I wrote my own symphony on Mario Paint (Not my video below, but a cool example of what Mario Paint was/is).
8. I've DOWNLOADED and LISTENED to an entire video game soundtrack... and liked it.
9. I've debated online about who shot first- Han or Greedo.
10. I've written a Final Fantasy 7 fanfic and felt bad about myself when it received poor reviews (no I'm not giving you that link. ever.)
I guess the point here is... be yourself. Many people here have read about my drunken escapades and bouts with various people of various authority positions... so why should you be afraid to let your geek flag fly.
Come on- be honest, we all got a LITTLE geek in us if we're reading this fucking blog.

Wow. For someone who has seen, and DATED some of the geekiest people alive...(hey, nerds can be quite sexy)..THIS is a first for me.
Mario paint??? I have no CLUE what that is.. as for downloading the ENTIRE soundtrack to a video game and actually liking it... Add some more tape to the glasses, Pocket Protector Man.
But hey, keep it up.
God knows I've seen your *geek flag* fly more times than I can count.
