Name a geeky thing (to other people) you like doing

[LostinVA]

I'll start: I love going to Celtic Festivals and Highland Games.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

1. I like looking in the dictionary for a word I don't know...

and then using it that day!

[idgiehkt]

15. lol

I play dictionary tag...I always find a word in the definition that I don't know what it means and I have to look it up too...I can sit there for hours doing this, lol. I'm a complete nerd.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

18. join the club....

I'm a spelling bee nerd so I guess that's where I got it from!

[SeattleGirl]

34. I like doing that too.

I've always been that way. :blush:

[NewWaveChick1981]

2. I like going to science fiction conventions.

Going to one this weekend, in fact. :P

[RedXIII]

3. Listening to Renaissance Faire music....

like Blackmore's Night And the Medieaval Baebes.

[LostinVA]

9. Your post about them made me think of starting this thread

The Richmond Highland Games are in about two months (one of the best on the East Coast, imo, although the Potomac Celtic Festival is the classiest), and we're also gonna try to get up to Maryland soon, too.

[LostinVA]

5. Just don't flirt with anyone at a traffic light

[NewWaveChick1981]

7. I promise.

[LostinVA]

11. Or let a lesbian corrupt you

[NewWaveChick1981]

13. I keep telling you---I'm ALREADY corrupt...

:rofl: If you think you can make me any more corrupt than I already am, you're welcome to try. :P

:hi:

[LostinVA]

16. I'm only 2 1/2 hours from NC, remember...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. Is flirting with someone while stuck in traffic okay?

Because I've done that.

[LostinVA]

[wildhorses]

4. I like period films...Jane Austen and the Renassiance Festival

I like forensics and working with corpses does not bother me:shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. I spend two years waiting in anticipation of the Dodge Poetry Festival.

www.grdodge.org/poetry/

It's the biggest poetry festival around. And to further cement my geekiness, I will wait in line for half an hour just to get a book signed from a poet I like.

[LostinVA]

12. I'm so geeky I recognized Homer Hickam in a restaurant near here

And went up to him and got all excited talking to him. He seemed tres thrilled to be recognized.

[Broken_Hero]

8. collect comics,

toys, magic the gathering....D and D...:)

[Benfea]

30. Crack the Gathering?

I managed to stay away from that one. I have an addictive personality as it is!

[taterguy]

10. Talk about the Church Committee Report on Intelligence . . .

Activities and the Rights of Americans.

It usually leads to rolling eyes and causes conversation to grind to a halt. I still enjoy doing it

[WritingIsMyReligion]

14. I like thoroughly scouring the liner notes of all my CDs.

Holy fuck, how I love a good fat book of liner notes!

:bounce:

:P

[1gobluedem]

17. Love local historical museums

My friends think I'm nuts.

[Benfea]

19. Comic books, anime, sci-fi, Star Trek, RPG, CRPG, MMORPG,....

...you know, the usual stuff.

[leeroysphitz]

20. I enjoy alphabetizing my display of Sanrio's "Hello Kitty" figurines.

[LostinVA]

[leeroysphitz]

23. Badtz-Maru!

Not just playing, but using the teaching option on ChessMaster.

[Smudge]

24. Marching Band..

Theatre, Reading.

Just about everything I do.

[calico1]

25. Crossword puzzles and jumbles,

and watching old 30's and 40's movies.

[Fox Mulder]

27. Reading about the paranormal, the unknown, and the unexplained.

And I enjoy going to haunted places (even though I've never seen a ghost...I've heard strange noises, though).

[Gormy Cuss]

31. Genealogy.

Finding dead relatives is fun to me.

[QuestionAll...]

32. please define geeky, that sounds coooool to me....

[LostinVA]

37. Things that people you know say are geeky

Even if you think they're cool.

Like, take the SCA: I went to a few gatherings, it wasn't my cup of tea, but I could see where people would love doing it.

[NMMNG]

33. Needlework

Crosstitch & crochet. I'd love to learn knitting at some point.

[SeattleGirl]

35. I like watching BookTV on CSPAN.

I read all the credits after a movie is over.

I read the forwards and afterwards of all the books I read.

I love maps. (One of my friends calls me the Map Queen.)

[LostinVA]

39. We are soul mates, my pet

Because I like doing all of the same things. Too bad you're not gay.

I also rush onto imdb after I watch a movie to see what other movies/TV shows the actors were in.

[Omphaloskepsis]

36. BEAM robotics............

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BEAM

Stuff like this:

[ghostsofgiants]

38. Nevermind the Ajax and whatnot.

[Bassic]

40. I still play Dungeon's and Dragons

from time to time.

[Lowell]

41. Writing code

and building webpages. Most of the guys I hang out with are dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to computers. They all marvel at something as simple as compiling code or building a webpage.

[RumpusCat]

42. I love going to Ren Fests and state fairs

And all other similar festivals.

My gf and I are having our one-year anniversary and have decided to go to Medieval Times, which for those who don't know is a silly-ass medieval-themed restaurant. We decided we'd rather do that than have a super fancy pretentious dinner.

Yup, definitely geeky. :blush:
