What kind of geek are you?

musical, literary

Why do you consider yourself a geek?

I'm actually more of a nerd; extrapolating the imaginative possibilities of technology makes me a geek. And that summer I worked as a carny.

How did you find out about our Geek community?

In a dream.

What are your "geeky equipment" specs?

I have a pile of computer parts that I am sure fit together. And a borrowed iMac.

I also have a '79 Strat, a G&L with a B-bender, a Les Paul Studio, a passel of notebooks and a Dixon Ticonderoga #2 pencil I'm too lazy to sharpen.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

A fire engine. A big red one, not one of those sissy lime green bastards.

What makes you laugh?

My own misfortune.

What is the thing in life you treasure most?

It's all one big, sacred mural.

What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?

I once shaved the entire text of Principia Mathematica into the hair of my left bum cheek. Talk about razor burn...

What do you do to entertain yourself?

Creative sex, prosing, Planet of the Apes film marathons, guitar, lots of books.

Favorite music, movies, books, shows, artists, games, people, events, hobbies, etc.?

Are you still reading this? If so, I prolly like all the same stuff you do.

And yes, I realize Myspace is no longer 'cool.' That's why I use it.

What's your Web site / blog address?
