"Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection. It means never having to play it cool about how much you like something. It’s basically a license to proudly emote on a somewhat childish level rather than behave like a supposed adult. Being a geek is extremely liberating."
So come on geeks, wear that love with pride. Today is our day!
Cynicism and casual dismissal be damned, shout about the fandoms that you love.
May the fourth be with you. |

Judge me by my size do you and well you should not
For my ally is the force and a powerfull ally it is
Life breeds it makes it grow the tree the rock
Luminous beings are we not this crude matter |

"I’m only really geeky for Star Wars and RuPaul’s Drag Race. I’m even wearing Ewok socks in tribute of this special day. "
Nicely done!
I've got one storm trooper, one HP sock, a marvel and a superman t shirt on... |

Trek, Star Wars, Marvel, Warham me 40k.
Being a geek is good, being a geek is admitting to the world that you are capable of love. You love these things, be proud of that. |

Exactly! The quote in my OP from Simon Pegg really sums it up for me. |

I dont have any particular fandom but I'm definitely a geek and proud, everyone should have a bit of geek to them. I've always been an avid gamer, lover of scifi and in the last couple of years have really got into anime which is funny as I used to absolutely hate it |

I think that everyone has something that they're geeky about. |

I never thought myself geeky until a beautiful woman called me a "power geek" recently, and she's ALWAYS right....!!!   |

I’m a space geek. I track the ISS, I get up at silly hours to watch rockets blast off into space - I spent stupid money to be as close as you could get to a Falcon Heavy launch last month. I have a telescope and marvel at celestial bodies  |

I'm a fan of Marvel but I haven't read the comic books so I don't know whether that makes me a genuine geek or not?
Love all the Disney films too and have a Disney book of some of the stories that I got when I was five years old

I rescinded my comment as I realised that I was being reactionary and that's rather unlike me. Apologies for any offence caused. |

Über geek reporting for duty. My dog is named after a firefly character and I attended my first Star Trek con at 16.
I've done PA and green room for a friend who used to run conventions and have met Pinhead, Riggs, George Takei,5 Doctor Who's, half the cast of Buffy and Angel and R2D2. |

Genuine geek? If you love it and you're into it, then you're a geek. You don't need to pass an exam on issue numbers or approval panel about spiderman organic webslingers... |

Its amazing! Did so many tours of where things were filmed. In the end brought a location book, loaded up the 4x4 and just went driving around |

Yes, yes yes!
What's your dogs name? I omitted firefly from my list, but anything Whedon gets my vote! (one of my children is named after a Buffy character! |
