Geek/Nerd Debate

There is a difference between geeks and nerds.

Nerds are smart, people who lack much of a social life. They often have very few friends. Nerds don't talk much, and don't expect others to talk much to them. They are usually nice people, but don't have the social skills to go out and meet new friends.

Geeks are different from nerds in the fact that they have social lives. However, these social lives are often spent pursuing some passion that the geek is obsessed with (i.e. Yu-Gi-Oh!). They spend all their time thinking about their one obsession, and play it in all of their free time. Geeks are usually only friends with other geeks, and attempts to converse with geeks is futile, unless, of course, you want to talk about Star Trek or whatever the certain geek is obsessed with.

Examples of geek obsessions are Star Trek, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic the Gathering, StarCraft, and basically any other RPG.
Nerds are often very shy, while geeks are more outgoing.

Nerds spend most of their free time studying, while geeks make free time so they can play Dungeons and Dragons.

Nerds care what others think of them, but geeks are almost oblivious to the existence of those outside of their geek clan.

Based on all this, I would have to conclude that it is easier to befriend a nerd than a geek, but a geek would probably be a more interesting person.

geeked up

first of all, you can get geeked up from many differnt drugs including; meth, cocaine, ecstasy.
the feeling of being geeked up includes; talking rapidly, talking an excessive amount, not feeling the need for food or sleep. usually your senses are stronger, and your heart beats faster. some people may shake, get hot, sweat etc.
here's something most people don't think about when they get geeked up. geek drugs like cocaine, ice, etc. have come downs which is when the drug starts to wear off.
this feeling can make some people want to commit suicide, cry, and sometimes just break down.
if you are suicidal it's not in your best intrest to mess with any sort of drug, besides weed.
the time period that you are geeked up, depends on the drug, meth can last up to about 2 days.
cocaine lasts around 45 minutes.
ecstasy usually lasts anywhere from 3-6 hours. but i have experienced ex pills that last over 12.
before anyone tries any serious drug like all of these, they should seriously make sure they are going to be able, to make sure every time they do these drugs, they see the fine line between want and need. these drugs are very addictive, and can ruin your life, but if you have a hold on them they can be very pleasureable and fun.
