I checked nerd because geek wasn't an option and that was as close as I could get.
I was fairly well the acknowledged alpha-geek of my HS. (I know, shocking!)

Fascinating. I was decidedly behind the senior sysadmins, being only a junior one. (Who worked on Macs and Novell, and not the Real Work, Linux.)

Pssh. Geeks are nerds in denial. Maybe they're closer to be "normal" or "cool" than the other nerds but they're living contradictions b.c. of it. Simply by not fully embracing their nerdom and accepting their true selves they prevent themselves from ever actually realizing their full potential to be cool. Poor poor geeks  I now dangle to the left....my tassle. Get your minds out of the gutter.

Brad, you're a Chic? Wow. Do you ever need more makeup! Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

I've been going to a private/catholic school for going on 12years, and let me say there have been very few Jesus freaks I want to be remembered when I'm dead. I want books written about me. I want songs sung about me. And then, hundreds of years from now, I want episodes of my life to be played out weekly at half past nine by some great heroic actor of the age.

I am definitely a geek (nerds don't have marketable skills) but fencing was the largest varsity team in my HS (weird!) and I was epee captain so I guess that could make me a jock as well? It was a pretty geeky HS... The only way to atone for being occasionally a little over-dressed is by being always absolutely over-educated. -Oscar Wilde

Where I went, the whole campus was brainwashed or something. They even had on campus "retreats" where your whole class would gather in the gym or on the football field.... Freaky.

well we still have retreats, but mostly no really gets in to it. If my memory serves me, the predominate conversation of the day was what does your dress for winter formal look like?

Lucky for you. It was like a Cult or some kind of horror movie or something at the school I used to go to. Maybe it was something in the water...
