Geek?
A guy from Greece........
Anyways, here's a defintion (a portion) of the word "geek":
A geek is someone who spends time being "social" on a computer. This could mean chatting on IRC or ICB, playing multi-user games, posting to alt.***.bondage.particle.physics, or even writing shareware. Someone who just uses their computer for work, but doesn't spend their free time "on line" is not a geek. Most geeks are technically adept and have a great love of computers, but not all geeks are programming wizards. Some just know enough unix to read mail and telnet out to their favorite MUD.
Geeks are generally social outcasts from mainstream America. The ranks of geekdom are swelled with gamers, ravers, science fiction fans, punks, perverts, programmers, nerds, subgenii, and trekkies. These are people who did not go to their high school proms, and many would be offended by the suggestion that they should have even wanted to. Geeks prefer to socialize with other geeks, the self proclaimed weird. Therefore they go online to organize parties, food runs, drink runs, and movie nights, and be assured that their companions would rather talk about superheros as modern mythology than the latest football scores.

^^been called a nerd. spent 6 months of my life in straight reading. (8-12 am; 1-7pm; 8pm-2 am, my sched for 6 months)
didn't go to the malls, except power plant to eat lunch.
no social life for 6 months. no interaction, except when there's extreme necessity. no text nor calls. me and my books.
after those loneliest days...m back into the mainstream. a party animal, sometimes.
occasionally, i did try to beat Zuma/Luxor in just one game...but when i just started knowing zuma, i couldn't sleep because i wanted to reach the final stage. my eyes got irritated; maybe in this sense, i am a geek.
when i pursue the things that i like, my enthusiasm tends to be uncontrollable and unreasonable.

As of December 25 2008, this is officially THE geekiest thing about me:
The G-Shock G9200-1DR Riseman, from Casio's redesigned Master of G series.

I'm gunning for a second Master of G by next week:

Hmm...probably my glasses (I need to wear glasses) and my PSP. Other than that...no more I think. My teenage kid thinks I'm a cool dad - and she's far from being a geek.
