Geeks: Celebrate your eccentricities here
--I studied each Star Wars prequel trailer with the same care Oliver Stone did with the Zapruder film; and I've just finished a two-hour conversation with a friend in which I defended Padme's now infamous "death by broken heart."

--When I experience anything that could be construed as abnormal, I'm prone to composing Rod Serling narratives in my head.


Suffice to say, I spend my weekends at home.

1. I have memorized huge passages from more than one
Law & Order episode. Before they started coming out on DVD, I taped the marathons. Now, I can tape over them and buy the DVDs!

3. I was about to post some of my eccentricities.
Being Greek and all.

Of course, I'm also a geek. :D

7. I can regale you for hours...
On the matter of tweaking Mandriva Linux for features and performance optimizations.

Now that's geekishly inclined...

10. I'm geeky about...
I Love Lucy, I know every episode title.

I know that Lucille Ball had 5 cocker spaniels and I know their names: Honey, Candy, Taffy, Tommy, and Spotty.

even geekier, I'm a rabid collector of I Love Lucy-abilia

I don't know how to resize this but here's a small part of my room (I'm also a geek about autographs and antiques and... ah.. I don't like to say this though... junk), My Lucy dolls and my Lucy autographs are a minuscule fraction of the collection.

Yep I'm also a geek about Abraham Lincoln (that's an original button from his campaign and a New York Times detailing the Lincoln assassination trail) and JFK (reached my ultimate geek fantasy, partying with the Kennedys at Hyannisport).



But it's I Love Lucy I'm geekiest about.
