I disagree. If you have Star Trek decorative items (or simply the DVDs), then you are a geek. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being a geek. One of my best friends has a strong social life, a gf, and he does sports so his life is pretty normal in that aspect and everybody likes him. However, he is also a geek because he watches anime, collects posters with dragons, plays video games about 4 yours a day, and plays D & D. I think geek is kind of like what your interests are and what gets you excited. In fact, I consider myself a geek to an extent since I get overly excited about movies in general. But yeah, back to the point. People that are really into Sci Fi are geeks.
