It's All Geek to Me

I am not a geek. I have some geek-like qualities, but I am not a geek. I've only recently realized this fully.

I like geeks. I have many geek friends to whom I relate well. Nevertheless, I am not a geek. There is no activity in which I engage with the fervor of a geek. I program computers for a living, but I never touch them for anything other than writing otherwise. I love music, and I know a lot about it, but I do not actively seek out music or musical knowledge. I watch very few movies, and even fewer television shows. I hate almost all television shows (except Saturday Night Live). Whatever your favorite show is, I hate it. Please don't take this personally.

I will never show you any of the following things, because these things will never exist:

1. My collection of swords
2. My collection of shot glasses from all the US state capitols
3. My complete DVD set of every episode of some TV show
4. My collection of mechanical hamsters that wear various costumes and dance to various songs when you press a button
5. My high score or stat sheet on some video game on which I spend several hours each day or week
6. My large screen home theatre with 18 speaker surround sound and integrated internet stereo system with a 60 disc changer

So, what am I into? I enjoy people. People are my real hobby and interest, I think. Whenever I try to muster enthusiasm for anything else, it's always fleeting.

And how about you?

Later. Love.
