Today 36 years ago, Earth first encountered a galaxy far, far away in the form of Star Wars: A New Hope. With our lives changed by the space opera, sci-fi addicts, wannabe space explorers, and anyone who finds their interests aligning with the geeky side of life celebrates May 25 as Geek Pride Day.

Not that we'd expect you to keep your geek side under wraps any other day, but today, geeks, let your love of science fiction, fantasy, comic books, and video games stand out loud and proud. Click on for some of our favorite ways to declare your geek pride, and don't forget share your day's activities with the hashtag #GeekPrideDay.
