LOSER ~ A "normal" person. Will read a book once. Will watch a movie once. Will not look for deeper meaning, mistakes, incongruities.

NERD ~ Will read a book a few times. Will watch a movie a few times. Will take in main elements of a story, but has trouble remembering specific details. Discusses with other people ((usually in RL))

GEEK ~ Often reads a book every year/two years for their entire life ((often at the same time each year!)). Will buy the video, the DVD and the Special/Extended Edition DVD, after having already watched the movie at least three times at the cinema.
Writes good fanfiction. Joins forums and chats and discusses on the internet. ((However, simply joining a forum does not qualify for GEEK status - without the other elements you are merely a high-level NERD.))

OBSESSIVE ~ With all the same elements of GEEK, but with additions. You are a Moderator on Forums. You read related books, eg. The Origins of Tolkein's Middle-Earth For Dummies or The Wydest Link. You know strange and obscure facts, and notice mistakes, trivia and incongruities in movies. You are able to talk a non-OBSESSIVE into beoming one. When watching a movie ((book-adaption)) you will loudly say "That didn't happen in the book!" and "Where's Tom Bombadil?"
Most importantly, you admit to being obsessed.

FREAK ~ All the elements of OBSESSIVE and then some. You may be an Administrator. you certainly create your own webpages. You record/buy TV series and watch them again and again and again. You write very involved fanfiction which sticks retentively well to te original, or may even correct mistakes from the original. You own soundtracks, to which you know all the words. People do not need to know what you want for your birthday, but they may need to check that you do not already have So You Think You Know The Star Wars Universe or the One Ring of Power.
You quote, often and annoyingly. You do impressions. You make Fan Art.
Most importantly, you know you are a FREAK. Don't you, my prreciousss...

What are you...?

((Me and my mates made this up last night! We have decided that I qualify as a very, very high level OBSESSIVE, but have not quite graduated into FREAK just yet...))

Well I'm somewhere between a nerd and a geek I guess, despite the fact I don't like how that sounds

Ok, so we have 1 NERD, 1 GEEK, 1 OBSESSIVE...

i gess by that definition im between a loser and nerd

Hello, I'm David and I'm a geek.

*Weeps*

Awww.....(puts arms around Mech)

I'm Lisa and I'm obsessive...nice to meet ya.

Thanks Gun.

*squeezes Gundy's bum*

Perverted geek ! *smacks Mech upside the head*

I'm a geek

Meh, it was well worth it.

Take two aspirin and call me in the morning, Mech dear....

Thats nothing to be ashamed of, Silver Tears. We love ALL geeks in here....

Except Trekkies.

*shudders*

everyone on KMC is geek or higher

I'm more like a Bookworm so you can call me a geek.

I'm a high-level geek, getting closer and closer to obssession.....

um...... a loser

geek, tho I dislike the terms here phoe

Nerd/Geek

I' m between a nerd and a geek.

erm... what does software programmed to talk about nonsense and starwars qualify for?

ive decided to upgrade myself to a freak

I don't think you can just decide that yourself. You have to prepare a full case to present to the High Council and then convince a full jury of certified geeks and...

Good lord, I am a geek.

well I hardly ever read...
I dont write, least of all fanfiction...
Ive only joined a couple of fourms, but I don't have proper discussions..
I tend to watch movies once at the cinema, but of course I buy the special edition on DVD...
I discuss movies and stuff with my RL friends mostly...

does that make me a high level nerd

I dont fit into any of those

am i still the only loser?

That appears to be the case...

hmm... When it comes to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, I'm somewhere in between "obsessive" and "freak". I am an admin. Just... not here...

I'm a nerd!!!!!

nerds are awesome!!! A lot of my friends are nerds... Well, freaks by this definition but nerds to everyone else.

But their specially made by me! So they is SPECIAL

low to medium level nerd

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!! I am the mighty freak of Korriban!!!!!!!!!!!!! *fries everyone around him with force lightning*

I'll skip the poll..

bastards I can't read!!!

I'm a geek. I tried writing fanfiction (star wars) but it never comes out right. I DO write during free time though. I'm currently working on a vampire novel.

got my freak on

I'd pay to see that.

I'm a full time geek

TeeHeehttp://images.killermovies.com/forums/moresmilies/devil2.gif

I'll drink to that!

I'm more of a Geek, but I can be Obsessive and even Freakish, though not publicly.

freakish in which ways

you know rex, they got pills for that too

I am between nerd an freak. It depends of the topic.

as long as you're not a hunchback

well, u know im a high level nerd,phoe, but i am just toooooo damn lazy to progress to freak!

Obsessive.

I'm obsessive..minus the moderator part...but with the HP game...well that would almost count..hee hee

ninja/nerd

Iam obsessive..lol...except the administrator thing...I'm a mod some places..but Im not an administrator anywhere..

FREAK, but i am no admin, though

Looks like the obsessives are in the lead.

We need a separate category for Ush though....

'Pontificate at Large'

Or something.

ALL OF YOU PEOPLE ARE DUMB.
YOU CAN NEVA GET WITH THE LUNATIC.

I'll take your word for it, but can you switch your caps off?

i play a shitload of sport, watch movies once, get the dvds of the ones i like, am writing a fantasy novel, and play cs and wc3, wat does dat make me?

<-- I like kids, but i don't think i could eat a whole one -->

Easy, lunatic. No need to shout now.

Although I'm sure some of us are extremely dumb in some areas, we're extremely clever in others.

Hmmm....now I just need to back that up.....

well, if you need the exception that confirms the rule, that some are dumb in all areas, I'm your waffle

i am me and nothing else so there

I think I'm Obsessive, minus the Moderator part...

I'm between geek and obsessive, and proud of it!!!

^same

Concerning Tolkien, obsessive with elements of freak, but Im no admin (only supermod), I do not create an own page (though I write for a page); there are no real tv series for LoTR, and I do not write too many fanfictions, only some few lexts.

Now the BIG question is, how many will REMAIN obsessive long after EP3 ?

Thats the true measure of a fan.

BTW, has anyone else noticed how the poll shows a normal distribution curve?

Oh dear, I think I've just been promoted to super-geek.

waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.. i hate to say this but im a nerd...

We love nerds too ! Come on in !

lol erm i think im in the geek category lol

Bit of all i suppose.

im obsessive

I'm a nerd and proud to be one!

I vaguely remember that from GCSE Maths...

*sidles in*

*bumps*

*sidles out*

Ressurection

Freak

i'm a freaky geek yeah?

A human being

If you cut me, do i not bleed?!?


ok geek it is then

yes...green blood you pointy eared vulcan...

dunno I was too bored to read them
probably obsessive

I'm a poor Geek.
Meaning I'd easily be an obsessive if I had more money to spemd on stuff but I don't so Im just a Geek!

Geek

I've been a moderator on a forum before. I buy special edition movies a lot and discuss them A LOT, but I don't read at all unless its about sports or movies.

I really don't like the wording.

Geek

Freak... I am so a freak!!!

I can watch matrix for about a week everytime I have free time..

I can do that with LotR

you're the worse kind phoe

hrm....i could watch over and over with a movie with a kind of mystery thing, where you notcie stuff you didn't first time that's important to the plot,......like "the usual suspects" for instance

yeah, first time you watch it with your eyes open, than with your eyes closed and the next time half open and ...

and if i do

or face it backwards

How would you face it backwards??

you turn your back on it ... like Scar on Mufassa in The Lion King

I do that ... yes, I watch Shrek every time I have free time

I think I'm a low level geek with aspirations of obsessiveness. My broadranging geekiness prevents me from putting any one genre under the microscope.

I like your terms just fine. Its about time people stopped thinking of the labels geek, nerd, etc. as negatives. Those are compliments if you ask me. Why would you be insulted at being called "too smart, and interested in all that sci-fi crap", as thats what being called geek/nerd inplies? I use those words as terms of affection.

Im between obsessive and freak....i read Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk, i watched films numerous times, i know obscure facts, i complain about the scene in the bar, because it didnt happen in a book....etc, etc...

I suppose its similar with Stephen King's works

Milla...you became a Fight Club nerd.

Just like I am with Star Wars.

i am a big time star wars geek.

I'm getting Hyperspace, so

you're now categorised as hopeless

nerd

*hugs*

yeah, my friends use it affectionately.

They call me their little Buffy geek, or their LotR Freak

nice friends

KMC has the most Obsessives

i'm not any of those, i have 2 say. I am ME! :-)

im obsessive and proud of it

Theres quite a competition of what we've got most of... nerds, geeks or obsessives...

im a nerd

I'm a geek.

Though I don't know why I'm telling everybody this.

me a

Apparantly im a Geek. whatever

GEEKS REIGH SUPREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!

Let's see...

Website/forums admin? check.
Record TV shows & watch it a lot? check.
Write fanfiction? check.
Own soundtracks? check.
People always know what I want for birthdays/Christmas/whatever? check.
Randomly quote? check.
Draw fanart? check.

Guess what, looks like I'd be a freak by this scale

so am I

THE OBSESSIVES ARE WINNING!!!


*everyone stares*

I'll just go now, shall I...?

*sidles in*

*bumps*

*sidles out*

I guess I'm somewhere in between Loser and Nerd, cuz I'd never buy a "special edition" of a movie or anything... and I've seen many movies more than twice...
but I guess when it comes to books Im like obsessive.. I luv reading... I know I sound like a dork but reading's the most fun I can have without taking my clothes off

I'm obsessive , I don't try to hide it! Its 26 people for obsessives!!!

I am what i am, my coming spells the end of all existance and of humanity mahahahahahahaahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not any of them.
I am a child of god ( plus my mom & lat father to)

im a nerd

I am strange and weild but none of anything you put on that list.JM

i must be a nerd bordering on geek

I am next step from Freak:

DANGEROUS

You are lethal to people around you. If someone else makes mistake from your favorite movie, you will kill them in cold blood. You watch all the movies at least fifty times each, and remember the exact lines of each. The local movie theater workers are informed to call the SWAT if you appear to the movie theater, but you have learned to use clever disguises and sneaking "ala James Bond". You buy all the DVD and VHS versions of all movies, as you haven't met an unlikable movie yet.

Lol, no really. I am an nerd.

All of them - I'm all over the place.

very close b/t geek and nerd for me...which one is smarter:-)?

Geek/Obsessive
Obsessive for certain things like pulp fiction i see at least excerpts from at least once a month i think. same for american beauty.

Props for the very creative thread poll, very nice

I'm an infinite number of shiny bubbles.
