Geek Pride

Patton Oswalt, in an interview in the latest Wired Magazine:

Wired: There's a great line on your new album, Werewolves: "My geekiness is getting in the way of my nerdiness." What's the distinction?

Oswalt: A lot of nerds aren't aware they're nerds. A geek has thrown his hands up to the universe and gone, "I speak Klingon — who am I fooling? You win! I'm just gonna openly like what I like." Geeks tend to be a little happier with themselves.

Like I always say:
There are 10 types of people in this world.
Those who understand binary code, and those who don't.

Are you trying to justify something or anything that has to do with Harry Potter?
