Ding, Ding, Ding. We have a winner. I used to be really into Magic the Gathering. And I would play D&D about once a week. I stopped all that now, not because I feared the geekiness of the whole thing, but I just don't really have time for that stuff anymore.
probably just this site...it's the only thing people question me about - wondering why i'm always at the same site all the time. wondering how a fansite made a team in houston my favorite NBA team. etc.
Used to: Play RPGs (D&D, Vampire, Rifts) Build Star Trek models (never got around to finishing that light-up Enterprise D ) HEAVILY collect comic cards Now that I've grown up, the only geeky passion I have time for is comic book collecting. I've also developed a retrogaming addiction, if that counts.
The geekiest thing I do is refresh this (and several other forums) several times per minute for 8 hrs while I am at work
I'm a home improvement GEEK. I enjoy watching other people do work on their homes, knowing I can't afford to do these $50,000 kitchen makeovers. I'd love to chat, but Sensible Chic is coming on now. Later.
What if you are one of the few that makes $20k a year on the side by beating 12 year olds at money tournaments Not saying I'm personally talented enough to do that but there are people that do.
I've got you beat...I have my pc hooked up to my widescreen TV in my living room, and my wife and I are playing with our puppy, and I'm reading this thread to her.
I guess that would be Geek romance. At least I'm getting ready to meet some friends for a beer so there is hope.
I can cross-reference Mopar, AC Delco, Motorcraft, Performax and Fram oil/air filter numbers with Pennzoil #s without a book. That's geeky...so is the memorization of drive train fluid service manuals and common bolt sizes for all makes of cars. Oh, and I masturbate 4 or 5 times a day...to this website.
