A lot of the members here distinguish between "nerd" and "geek" ... I'm sure the precise distinction varies from person to person, but I agree there's a difference. I think the general pattern is to associate "nerd" with the more intellectual or academic, while "geek" applies to those obsessed solely with videogames, Harry Potter, or other pop-culture variants of nerdiness. Ex - A historical researcher who lives to catalogue moldy books describing medieval magical rituals is a nerd; someone who plays Magic the Gathering is a geek.
Forgive me if I offend anyone, or am completely wrong here!
Actually, you make me think of what I might have been like if I hadn't gone to an engineering school. My dorm room is probably 1/20th of the space of the room in those pictures, but it's just as packed with my laptop, desktop, various monitors, server, etc... plus the keyboard, which everyone BUT me plays. I like the baby grand in the practice room. But I digress. Your obsession with gadgets, collecting ridiculous numbers of computers, and dabbling in every aspect of music just screams "nerd!" to me.
Thanks, graphic design is really my main thing at this point. I work and go to school way too much to sit down and put my music together. the first song hosted on purevolume, 'class' was started in class during my programming logic class and finished in between that and my next class in the library.
If you don't let people re-apply I'm going to ask stop this now, if you do, then I'll see how it plays out as is.
After reading this over, I need more sleep before I write anything like this out. ...More sleep, information, food and I should probably clean my room. The bag with the bears is from christmas and I haven't even looked to see what's inside. I hope it's not a puppy. :(

Sorry. You just aren't a nerd. Nor a geek.
