Were you a geek growing up?

Definitely. But we're all geeks growing up. Let's face it, it was hell. But it's kinda hip to show those junior-high-school pictures now, the orthodontic gear around the head. It's like a badge of honor. I had braces with rubber bands. I could actually shoot them across the room. You had to tilt your head for the right trajectory or you'd hit your nose, and that's just not cool.

So you've learned to love your inner geek?

Embrace your dorkdom, or rail against it. The choice is yours.
