bookish… and a bit geeky

Monday is meme time! Berry has asked if we’re geeky, and what does it mean, anyway? Read all about it on her blog and answer the questions if you like!

What do you consider yourself to be? Geek? Nerd? Dork? None of the above? All of the above?
I’m probably a bit of geek and a bit of nerd, though I’m not socially awkward – I don’t really have problems talking to people I don’t know or even talking in front of large groups, after the initial stage fright has been overcome – interestingly, I find it harder to talk to people in SL, and I’m pretty sure it’s because I can’t see their faces and gauge their reactions to my often dark sense of humour! But I enjoy video games, love being on the internet and are pretty obsessive about my hobbies, and I love learning about a great variety of things. I’m not dorkish, I don’t think! But maybe just a little crazy 😀 Oh and I still like old fashioned books, hence the pics. What does that make me?
What was the first computer you ever owned?
I got my first computer because of Diablo 1. I remember visiting a computer store with my dad and seeing the game being played there – that was that! I remember my first machine to be a Pentium something-or-other. I just looked up the release date for Diablo, must’ve been around 1997 then…
When and how did you first get on the internet?
I don’t really remember, but not too long after I started with Diablo. I remember my first provider was called NDH, today they cater to companies only, but in the beginning they provided reasonably priced and fast services to everyone.
Which geek fandom do you subscribe to?
I love Harry Potter, I love New Battlestar Galactica, I love Babylon 5, I love both Star Trek and Star Wars, and yet I’m not crazy into it. At least I’m not obsessing about any of the above. I just love to watch them all.
Star Trek or Star Wars?
I love both! I don’t understand why I should have to choose one over the other, because they’re just different and good, each in their own way. If I was allowed to shoot one character though, it would definitely be Jar Jar Bings.
How Geeky Are You?
Well I took the test, and what can I say? I got 51%. Mhmmm…. 😀
