When I first met those boys sitting around playing dice, I have to admit, I was mostly looking at the dice. I had recently started a collection, since I did not really collect anything else at the time and so I thought, �Oh my, isn�t that nice, they�re playing a game with dice,� although I might have not rhymed twice. Since then, the Geekdom has been good to me. It has provided me with virtually all my friends and all of my relationships. I have socked a lot of time into making myself a good geek, too (although I fail at it as much as I succeed). I watch all the right shows and read most of the right books. I have developed novel opinions on different things, learned to speak the language and the way I have tended to dress places me firmly amongst their ranks. I know it seems a bit contrived, in some ways, it is, but then again, fitting in has always been something a bit contrived for me, someone who, like most geeks, grates with a grim determination against any kind of catalog.

In a way, being a geek has become my class, not socio-economically, but like in D&D: ranger, wizard, druid, bard, sorcerer � geek! However, in spite of acquiring a considerable amount of levels in this class, I find myself at a point where I kind of want multi-class. I mean, you cannot reroll yourself, after all, all you can do is learn new skills, but then there you are, back at level one and you don�t even know what to call this class that you are trying to get in to? "Health nut"? "Climber"? "Jesus Freak"? I'm not sure, but maybe this time, I might want to take a look at the boys.
