Google defines 'geek' as being someone who is especially devoted to one particular interest. (link)
Step one
In order to be a true Geek one must completely immerse themselves within their chosen Geekery. To clarify, one must wake up at 2 a.m. (or any other random time between 12:45 a.m. and 3:15 a.m.) and do their Geekery for a minimum of 30 minutes which typically will stretch until the alarm goes off.
Step two
Not only must one be completely knowledgeable about every little detail of their Geekery, they must also know all the rumors, politics, and insider dish (who's doing what to whom) about what's really going on. Without this depth of knowledge, one can never converse with other similar Geeks in an intelligent manner. If one struggles in this area, please go hide in a closet - you are a shame to all Geeks worldwide - you may come out once you have redeemed yourself.
Maintenance
Now that one has achieved their coveted status of Geekery, one should start to notice unusual, odd occurrences, such as completely unknown people asking for help with Geek. Obviously to help maintain one's status, one does whatever one can to help which reinforces their status of Geekery. GEEK IS WICKED FUN!!
