Says it all, really. Link nicked from Sofy's blog (see R. column).

Wow. Another really good link, courtesy of Sofy. It appears to be a morning for startling revelations:
Five Geek Social Fallacies
I can positively say that I've got a severe case of GSF4, with a bit of GSF1 & 2 thrown in. I think I need to start compartmentalizing my social life a little more. Maybe make a little Venn diagram of people I know who can safely socialize with each other. Or something.

I'm a sick and twisted little geek. But then you might want to be let in on a little secret. I read the entire article on GSF with a slight sexual inuendo. Okay, a very HEAVY sexual inuendo.

Well, the article's equally applicable in that case. If not more so. Although the subset of people I game with who I'd also invite to my bed is considerably smaller.

Geek Social Fallacy #6: The world must to be made to fit the Metanarrative (dammit!)
Wherein all phenomena, conversations, electronic interactions and similar conscious actions ('true-willed' action?) must be brought into line with the most powerful memeplex in your affections. This also includes, in a postmodern way, trying to bring your 'art' into a more popular/better funded realm.
This maybe a similar idea to Tim Leary's/RAW's 'Reality Tunnels', except the perceptual gloss in both irrational and instinctual terms can thus link into GSF1, GSF2, GSF3, GSF4 and GSF5 like a Russian doll. Of course, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe".
We usually get around that by calling "Geek On!" or less commonly, "Mage On!" Unless everyone in the room is a geek or a practicing magician, in which case it's pretty much a given that the conversation will at some point (if not continuously) be about gaming or magic or some combination thereof.
