Geeks are the best type of people. They're more interesting, more fun to talk with. Also, though I hate stereotypes like this, I find that, more often than not, they're not afraid to be themselves...
A friend from university once told me that she spent all of highschool trying to hide her dorkiness/geekiness and that I've made her embrace it, just because I like to flaunt my dorkiness. I personally take that as a compliment.
