Your secret geekiness

My boyfriend and I drive all over town to all the thrift stores looking for books. Books are literally taking over our house.

We are serious Chuck fans (doesn't get much geekier than Chuck) We even dressed up as Chuck and Sarah for Halloween last year.

We make homemade sausage every year. That includes the grinding, seasoning and packaging. I don't know if that's geeky but people always look at me weird when I tell them.

I want to make my own sausage. In fact I want my own sausage shop. However , my significant other says he refuses to one day me married to "mrs sausage"

Secret geekiness. Hmmm
<---- See shirt
I LOVE text books. I pop on my nerdy glasses and curl up with a highlighter and notebook. I buy entirely too many. Never stop learning!

My geekiness isn't much of a secret, i'm pretty much a geek geek. :P


Every Tuesday my friends and I get together to play Settlers of Catan, that's pretty much the highlight of my week. Settlers is an amazing game, we get so into it and you see the claws come out... over a board game.

I adore reading dystopian fiction. I love 1984 by George Orwell, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, and A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess... Not a fan of all dystopian lit *cough*a brave new world*cough* but I like most of the books i've read in that genre.

Shakespeare is my hero. I've read all of his plays and they're all fantastic. I have lines memorized from so many different plays. Hamlet is my favourite.

I'm a photonerd. I can go on about cameras, lenses, exposures, apertures, white balance, and etc. I love learning about fuctionality of cameras and how you can manipulate light. Light is an amazing thing, I especially like doing long exposures. Photography is amazing, amazing I say.

I game. I don't play things like Halo or L4D but I am into Zelda and Mario games.

I'm a bit of a comicbook geek, especially DC comics, not so much of a fan of Marvel. I don't buy any comic books though but when I'm at the comic book store I just read them. x)

I still play Neopets and I'm 21. [not sure if this is geeky but I figure it is.]

I PLAY RUNESCAPE 24/7!!! haha ok maybe not 24/7 but I play ALOT!

OP I'll see your level of geekiness and raise you mine:

1.- Husband and I met on WoW, 6 years ago. He was a paladin tank during BC and I a hunter. He was in my hardcore raiding guild (I was Gm) and he was our main tank. We got together towards the end of BC and married during Wrath!
2.- I play WoW, Rift, Sims, Minecraft, LoL, Dragon Age, battlefield, CoD, video games in general etc etc etc.
3.- I still have the early 1980's late 1970's atari and all the games.
4.- I have all the collection Strawberry Shortcake dolls from 1979/1980 from when I was a kid. I have the house and all the items that go with the house from 1980. Some of the dolls have never been removed from the box and the box is in mint condition from 1979!!!!!
5.- I still have the first Nintendo Entertainment System from 1983 with all the original games.
6.- I have all my collection of Garbage Pail Kids from when I was 7.
7.- We too go to the Ren Fest here in Texas, each year!
8.- I went to mid-night openings for Harry Potter releases for the books.
9.- Husband and I went to every single midnight release of WoW expansions, lol! Yup we were standing in line for 1-2 hours lol.
10.- I am the only one at work with a WoW mousepad, and screen saver lol

I am completely addicted to buying books. I have shelves of them lined up to read, and I still keep buying.
I walk around with a book in my purse at all times.

i still have a gameboy advance and play donkey kong, super marioland, tetris, pokemons silver and yellow

...quite avidly might i add..

I love Harry Potter. The books, movies, theme park. I even learned to make homemade Butterbeer last weekend.

I also love The Dresden Files. The books, not the show...though I do own the only season of the show ever made on DVD.

I've spent many an hour playing Mario Kart, Mario Party, and Castlevania games.

I will play most any board or trivia game, anytime, anywhere.

I can spend an entire day in a bookstore, or browsing bookstores in general. And I'm perfectly content to spend my Friday nights in, reading a book. Like tonight. :P

I'm a roller coaster junkie. I'll get on any ride. I fear none!

I'm a complete holiday nut. I love decorating for holidays, making decorations and cards and gifts, etc.

I'm sure there's much more that makes me geeky...those are just what come to mind immediately.

Well, I'm finishing up a bachelor's degree in math with a minor in physics and starting to apply for grad schools. Can't get a whole lot geekier than that! Especially since my focus is number theory. I want to go into cryptology, specifically using math to break codes (sound like Charlie Epps or Tim McGee much? lol)

But I do get geekier:
1- I play WoW, too. 3 85's and 7 between 40 and 75. And that's just on my main server (I play on Vek'nilash, main is a human rogue named Annitra). I'm an officer in my guild.

2- Member of a Start Trek/general science fiction/fantasy club. We meet monthly and I also write stories about characters on the ship for our quarterly fanzine.

3- Part of the planning committee for the annual SF/fantasy convention in town. Have been involved in it for 14 years, doing security for the past 10.

4- Seriously miss the paper-and-dice RPGs we used to play. Sadly, too many of us in the group have so many RL things going on (like kids, jobs, etc) that we haven't gotten together recently. But I have been teaching MY kids how to play. Hey, I was taught by my parents, might as well pass it on (not to mention all the skills they gain from it!)

Since I work in cyber security I deal with cryptology pretty regularly and understand it at a high level. Actual cryptologists blow my f’ing mind, though.

Cryptography is one of the things I'm possibly interested in doing w/ my math degree when I get it.

Anatomy/Physiology/Kinesiology fanatic...

Yeah that's me too
