The new version of the Geek Meme

(Snagged from snowgrouse; the following commentary is a slightly edited reply I wrote to her post)

(Begin commentary)
I scored simple Geek: 21.40221%. But I wasn't sure how to catagorize my hosting of the Pro-Fun Troll Hoedowns, on Usenet, three years running -- that's got to be worth extra credit. I don't think they're quite the same as RPGs, so I clicked and unclicked that button. There were questions relating to reading and writing fanfic, but I didn't see any questions for collaborative writing (fanfic, or original)

And the subscription to magazines. If I had easy daily access to geeky magazines (ie access to the library), I'd read them every day. But I can't deal with all the extra clutter they'd cause by owning them for myself. So that's a whole 'nother set of buttons I clicked and then unclicked for honesty.

And I didn't see any questions for helping people with their English homework -- lots of questions about helping people with accounting, math, and computer programming -- but nothing for helping people interpret a poem or Shakespeare passage for their homework. And I actually earned scholarship in college for that good deed in College, and was given a "medal" when I gaduated. Both the fact that I got the medal (and kept it) should be worth extra credit, too, right?

I probably would have scored higher, too, if I were still in school, and had the stuff I learned still fresh in my brain.
