What's the geekiest thing you do?

I used to do the D&D/Paranoia/CarWars thing back in the day..

Like mcable...didnt quit cause I didnt like it...just dont have the time anymore.....

Uprising, if you feel geeky for doing pbp in chat...imagine how I feel....noit only do I normally spend the time to do score and time updates during Rockets games....but then I spend 3 hours afterwards editing and encoding the games for a bunch of guys I have never met.



I also am a huge Discovery Channel geek...
I enjoy cheesy movies with names like Kentucky Fried Movie
I love to read Harry POtter books and other scifi/fantasy books
and I know all about the Star Trek and Star Wars universes..
and last but not least.....I spend at least 80% of my internet time reading this site...

 

I have McFarlane Action figures all over my computer room and computer desk.

 

I have a blog. I win.

 

That was waaayy more info than I needed..

Please at least tell me that its to the Jessica Alba and Power Dancer threads..

 

it's too the Sishir Chang threads

 

LOL! Between this and someone offering to give oral pleasure to R2K...

 

Talk about mental masturbation since I've never posted a pic of myself or a description here.

Anyway its good to be loved, or at least lusted..

 

My roomate plays this game, and oh does he play it. He's had it for around a month now and he's logged 8 FULL days and 10-odd something hours. That's a lot of sitting in front of the computer screen. Also, everyone who he knows that plays the game plays it non-stop, also. Sorry to you WoW fans out there, but it looks like the nerdiest/gayest game ever made. I'm sorry.

I'm surprised people here still remember that; I thought it was long forgotten. I saved it as a Word document and read it again from time-to-time; it was that classic. It'd be a good thread to bring way back from the dead, so all the people who have no idea what that reference is can understand it's hilarity.


Anyways as for me.... I USED TO, USED TO play an unhealthy amount of Starcraft and Diablo 2. That was a looong time ago, however. Blizzard (company who made those 2 games and World of Warcraft) doesn't make a lot of games, but when they do, they are huge sellers that are highly addictive games.

The only thing I do now which I'd consider nerdy is check this site... A LOT. I also spend long amounts of time going through my massive iTunes library organizing music; that takes an extremely long time because.... well, I might have happened to stumble on a lot of pirated music that has the wrong information - I didn't download it, though...

 

I instantly start doing The Robot whenever I hear Dancing Machine by The Jacksons.

 

I usually do that when I hear those Geico commercials.

 

see my post count

 

Collect baseball cards.

 

I have Homies all over my computer desk in my home office....

I still wear retainers.

 

My wife and I watch "The Critical Hour" on Discovery Health.

I carefully monitor my plants in the green house- I am dying to take them out, but fear a freeze or cold weather...

I'm not a civil engineer, but enjoy problem solving on estimates.

I am 48 and used to be the youngest one on the job. I was the "kid". I was treated very well and enjoyed the role as the apprentice.

The older engineers taught me to use a slide rule- extremely cool!!

Now I am the "old man". The youngsters and I work very hard, but have a good time with puns and problem solving. I am directing the "kids " to polish their resumes, learn new skills, and take tech writing. I like to collect old construction drawings from 1940 and older - fascinating details... The young people really are fascinated with the older symbols, abbreviations on old layout, piling, structurals steel, and concrete drawings.



They teach me more than I teach them....

I weigh my dog's food to keep them healthy....

I take my golden retriever ( now retired) to wetland - coastal areas for exercise- I bring the small (.410 ga)shotgun and never fire it. I take pictures of her..

I am a super geek.....

 

Probably my ridiculous knowledge of guitar pedals and my love of cheesy horror movies.

 

Still read and collect comic books. I also still have all of my old star wars action figures as well as many binders of comic, baseball, basketball, and football cards. I have the old 8-bit nintendo NES system and a few role playing games. They still work. Probably the geekiest thing I do is spend way too much time at the UNM library studying.

 

I don't do a lot of the standard geek things, though my college group of friends was pretty bad about it. Roleplaying games and hours upon hours of movies don't interest me; not interactive enough. I've been exposed to a lot of Star Trek and Dr. Who against my will. I would always bring something to study in case they decided to watch those.

Which sounds geeky in itself, but it's not because I loved to study; more because I knew I needed to make myself. I teach chemistry, which also sounds bad, but I'm not really that into science deep down. Which is good in terms of me teaching classes to non-science majors; they like me because I relate to them. Not good in terms of my long-term career as a "scientist", though.

The only science I do for fun is nature & bird watching. OK, here's the geeky part. I have seen 300 species of birds. It's fun if you do it once in a while, and you get to be outdoors. I wouldn't want to do it all the time though.

And I'm into different weird stuff than everybody else. Like watching figure skating.

 

Oh, and I'm probably a lifetime band geek; I enjoy playing in marching bands (and their relatives) and playing classical music.

 

I can solve a Rubix cube. (How's that for geekiness?)

I can also recite the introduction to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Just get it over with and stamp 'nerd' on my forehead.
