What Inspires you to Geek?

Being a geek is about more than just enjoying sci-fi, fantasy, or superhero stories. It’s about being a part of a community that sees more than just stories. We see ourselves in Han, and Aragorn, and Hermione. And we see the challenges they face in our world. What inspires me to be a geek? The characters that inspire us all.

Despite the movies and games, the community and fellowship are definitely things that inspire me to be a Geek. -Kristin

Geek is different, it doesn't fit the status quo and it is an escapism. 
-Peter

For geek it is to love something with a passion. To know the ins and out of something. Deep down we are all geeks in someway, some us just wear it on our sleeves. -Aaron
