geek = metal head...

I'd consider myself to be a nerd. I enjoy playing video games competitively, my good friends also happen to be very avid gamers. I don't really care since I find drinking to be very boring, I also don't like the atmosphere at parties so I often hang out on the weekends with a couple good friends rather then attend larger parties.
 
:lol:, I love how so many preppy kids are amazed at the fact that they don't listen to the music that they're supposed to like. It's not that uncommon.

Indeed, I for one don't fit the metal-head stereotype.

stoner metalheads. Their population is large here. Weird things they are.

You got plenty of them who are morons and you add drugs to the equation = clusterfuck.
 
I think if I had a ridiculous amount of money I'd probably at first try to do something but eventually wind up living on my couch and only getting up to grab the phone to call for another pizza and hooker.
 
I'd have stupidly big car and motorcycle collection, a stupidly big music collection, 10 or 11 stupidly expensive hifis, a civilionised (or something) 2 seater jet fighter, a castle with a moat and drawbridge and a mountain retreat in some random country somewhere with gun installations, my own island (not one of the dubhai ones) with an underground base with mini trains and shit, I've have myself cloned and I'd have a trusty pet cat sat on my lap at all times.
 
I would buy music CDs like there's no tomorrow. I'd also ditch torrenting and just buy whole discographies if I want to get into a band. I'd also have a collection of top-of-the-line guitars, and would buy myself every instrument known to man.
 
It can't be generalized like that.

I guess others do see me as geekish/nerdish, but I've never really thought of myself as a real geek. Dunno, I have (or at least used to have) lots of different interests and I know a lot of (quite useless) stuff that very few others know (and will probably never need in their lives, so I can't blame them), I was among the best students at high school (although I was really studying very little), I used to play video games and knew a lot about computers but in the last year or two I lost interest at that (but still many friends contact me when they have computer problems)... Well, I do lack social life. It's not that bad, I have lots of friends, but I don't really have any 'best friends', those that you normally spend every weekend with and stuff like that. I go out every now and then, get drunk, visit almost every gig of local cover/demo bands... but when you sum it all up, I spend most of my time here, in this chair... It does bother me a lot, makes me very depressed often, especially since I have some interests and there are lots of things I'd like to own, do, try and/or learn but there's no way since I live in a poor third world country which is like at least 20-30 years behind the western world, and I'm... ok, I'm not really poor for our standards, but compared to an average family in the western Europe, I'm very poor. I do feel like I'm wasting my life.

Most of metallers here are different; metal is normally considered as "extreme music for extreme people" here. They're not really extreme, but most people are kind of outcasts, bad students who go out every night, get drunk often...

I've been inspired to create a new thread. I hope it doesn't suck.
