Geeky/Nerdy Guilty Pleasure

I have a love for all things alien, supernatural or cryptozoological.0

Duuuuune I love both versions. Also, I read linguistics textbooks and programming books for fun.0
-
The I.T. Crowd!!!!!!!
Yeah !! Trouble is, I've met people like that in my professional life. Love it though.0 -
I frequently catch logical fallacies in shows that aren't based in reality. Like in Farscape -- they all have "translator microbes" that enable them to understand each other, and that's ok with me. But those microbes wouldn't actually change the way they move their mouths when they speak, so when Aeryn mouthed something to John and he understood it even though he couldn't hear it, I got angry.0

I love Dark Angel! LOL0

I love that one too mostly because I work in IT and have been the only female in the group many times.0

Not sure this makes me a geek, but it is definitely my guilty pleasure:
geeky guys.
I know, I know. Maybe I just want to be geeky by proxy. Maybe my use of the word proxy makes me slightly geeky. Who knows. But I love a smart man. Even better if he is totally geeked out like Sheldon. Ohhh how I love thee Sheldon.
REF: Big Bang Theory. But, hopefully you already knew that.0 -
My husband and I run a guild on World of Warcraft (Alliance, Shandris server) - and I am admittedly obsessed with the game. Our guild, some of them, have become as close to us as some family members. I take my job as GM quite seriously and have a blast with it. From creating events for our members, celebrating birthdays, and just doing silly things in game.
I'm also a chain mail artist - but not sure if that's really geeky/nerdy - though I HAVE made dice bags.....
I am a HUGE Harry Chapin, Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow fan as well.
You sound awesome. If only you weren't Alliance. *sigh*0 -
Did I miss it, or am I the only one here who watches The Guild and Red vs Blue??
I LOVE the Guild, I have the music video for "Do you want to date my avatar" on my phone! The song itself is one of my ringtones.
I have that, every song from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, Doctorin' the Tardis, the Ghostbusters theme, Blood Gulch Blues (from RvB), the theme song from Big Bang Theory and oh who knows what else, on my phone. Then I rock out in my car :laugh:0 -
I read books. Not kindle. Paperback and hardback.
And I like anything that has to do with math or science. Scientific studies are most interesting because they involve both. *nerdy smile/wink*0 -
****ens. Just had to see if it would block me too. LOL0

I love The Guild!
Also Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show. I can't help it...I sing along with the Wheel of Fun and giggle at Unicow.0 -
I am massively in love with everything Joss Whedon has done. Even Dollhouse.
I can sing every line to the "Once More With Feeling" soundtrack.
I own my own gaming dice...they're purple and silver glitter.
I love reading fanfic p0rn.
I have a serious girl-crush on Felicia Day.
I have about 3 years worth of Grammar Girl podcasts on my computer.
I'm sure there's more...0 -
i have Bill Bryson " a short history of nearly everything" on my Ipod, and e-reader and two version in book form0

I love video games that are definitely meant for kids and not 30 year old women. Ratchet & Clank, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario. I just finished Lego Star Wars and am going to move onto Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4.0
-
I love "words" words words words, the roots and when they were introduced into the language, how they have changed with culture, and words give away who the person is by how they use them, and I love to play words with friends and have about 10 games going. I subscribe to word blogs, and even check out books on words......and words are all I have....lol0

Based on what I've read here these are some of the things I love that probably make me nerdy:
NPR, The Guild, My WoW flashbacks, Nature shows, Nova, Mythbusters, Microsoft Excel, being a grammar nazi, LOTR, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, scrabble, and etymology.
I also watch an episode of M*A*S*H almost every night before I go to bed, I have seen the movie Amadeus more than any other movie except for A Christmas Story, I am a poker geek, and I quote Mr. Show all of the time even though no one else ever knows what I'm talking about.0 -
Excel!
Favorite function? VLOOKUP.0 -
Let me see. I have every single computer console i have ever owned since I was 8, and the one I didn't own but played on (it was my parents), I still buy and read comics although these days it's just the "bumper" packs with the graphic novels, Alan Moore, Daniel Clowes, The Brothers Hernandez. I love anything like The Twilight Zone, Red Dwarf, The Outer Limits, Round the Twist, Eerie Indiana. I like action figures, and buy/collect. I also collect old Tomy games, like the water ones and for the sake of it, not really geeky but I have to mention it as it was one of the most amazing series that should still be going, I love "Jonathan Creek" - if you haven't seen it, watch it. I also buy cartoons that I loved as a child on dvd. I love John Wyndham, he's one of my favourite authors.0

I'm watching Contact right now, but when I'm sick all I want to watch is Dune and sometimes Dark Angel...judge me about the Dune and I'll cut you, judge me for the Dark Angel and I'll nod in agreement.
I loved Dark Angel!
I love reading and I am an all out Fantasy nerd LOTR, Dragonlance, Eragon, Harry Potter etc. I also love Vampire/Werewolf books.
I am a Trekkie Original or New Generation preferred. I Love Star Wars, and can't wait to see Episode One in 3D this weekend. I also love Indiana Jones and Comic Book Movies, especially the X men, and Batman.
And this is just the tip of the Geek/Nerd Iceberg.0 -

Ooh, and I love Jeopardy, crossword puzzles, linguistics, have read encyclopedias for fun.0

I've been watching Doctor Who since the first episode with Christopher and I love it! In high school I found out our new chemistry teacher is obsessed with DW, so I got to watch all the previous Doctors, too. I love reading DW fanfic and usually spend a few hours at a time.
I watched the Transformers cartoons (Armada, Energon, etc) as a kid and was so excited when I found out about the cartoon movie while walking around a video store! My brother and I rented that movie really often.
I play horse sim games online and have for years now. (Horseland, Howrse, Horsephenomena)
I started playing Runescape in middle school and still have my account. I go through spurts of paying for a membership and playing for a bit nonstop.
My preferred videogames are things like sims, harvest moon, etc.
I used to do roleplaying online (text-based) and have been wanting to get back into that. I mostly stuck with animal characters.
I love Aqua and I wish I had their new album right this second.
Almost 20 years old and I still use my Pooh and Tigger comforter as well as my Spongebob comforter.
My boyfriend is a nerd and I think that's why we go so well together. He plays D&D every week if possible, owns nearly every Zelda game and plays them religiously, loves Boondock Saints as much as I do, is obsessed with Star Wars, LOTR, etc.0 -
