geek or non a geek?

when it comes to words, many people define them as they want, think, percieve.
geek in a positive conotation and geek in some other, in some pejorative tone.
i was astonished on 'turbo geek'. i wonder do they ever sleep?
when do they sleep, eat, go to bed, go out for a walk?
where is the fine line between a geek and net addict?

i could never talk about this with my girl-friends as they /hardly understand, what it means to be a geek or to be with a geek. so, i talked yesterday over the pond with my friend, manager friendly geek @ Nortel, and he told me that geek is not neccesseraly bad person, as i know that by myself, living for awhile with one of them (difficult and nervious and romantic). so , my 'over pond' friend, told me (he is a big hiker and interesting person), that - e.g. he is a geek but he is in the second group of geeks - smart, well-informed but also broad-minded, curious for other things than computers, and romantic. and added: i am not difficult.
as good part of my life i am surrounded by geeks, in virtual and real life, i am lucky to know those positive geeks who wouldn't 'cheat' their girlfriends on some 'matching' web site 'telling lies' on single status and so...
the last one was of of those from the first group of geeks.
bad.

i'll stick to the second group as I, multitasking (in quitting this bad habit) woman, can learn a lot from them as well as there is always a little kid hidden inside of them.
