Well, there's the stuff that u just said, but it's also true that "Computer Geeks" are always lonely, 24/7 on a computer coming up with crazy stuff. They fit the category but i guess that we're just not that. (i noe i'm not really like that either. I go for many movies, girlfriends, parties etc.) But we also do some of the similar stuff. But somehow, people don't see us as "geeks" or "nerds". Or the guys here might be called computer buffs... a couple of months ago I had made a short anim and played it on the big sceen in my highschool theatre. Everyone liked it, and people kind of think ur cool and stuff. There's the thing of respect aswell... we might also be called geeks but in i different way. for some reason, everyone else (even those who have computers and stuff) still call the geeks, geeks. There's nothing u can do about it.
No matter what u do, people still "judge the book by its cover" and call computer geeks... geek, nerd etc. And i think its sad, they really should be given a second chance... they're the ones who technically run the COMPUTERS!!! If u just happen to fit the geek category, peoples respect drops for the person. But now, to date, people are accepting the fact that geeks and nerds are nothing but people too, who just like one thing which everyone else might not like (or do like). So maybe the distinguishing line between the nerds and the non-nerds or whatever, is getting erased, slowly, slowly....
whew, that was hard!
