My half-coherent sleepy response? "I roll to disbelieve." :-) Had to share: when my wife got up before me this past Saturday, she shook me and said “time to get up!”

Note: You don't have to be doing all of them at the same time or same time in your life, but it helps. I have found this to be a very good decision rule for true geekdom. I'm a huge comic geek! My husband writes reference book entries for Marvel, and I get to proof them for him - life is good! I love it that so many librarians are comics junkies...

Wow, does that take me back. I don't think my RPG geekiness usually comes out at work that much (although I don't hide the fact that I play RPGs). My geekiness for superhero comics, however, is in full effect much of the time. But I'm pretty much in favor of everyone letting their freak flag fly. Tenser’s Floating Disk!

But I strongly believe the word is not dork, but geek. I have a whole theory on the Cafeteria System for Determining if You Are a Geek...
