What's your inner geekiness?

[dannyk]

Ok, admit it! We all have something inside of us that we think the world will consider geeky. An encyclopediac knowledge of certain movie genres (Trek, Bond, Star Wars), certain types of literature (comic books, Harry Potter), or even a class of music (Zamfir, William Shatner sings Priceline). Maybe you hide your knowledge of computers or those late-night D&D games you still play... with real dice! :D

Me? I would have to say my comic books. I used to be ashamed to talk about it outside of the circle, becuase of the assumed stigma attached, but thanks to recent movies (most of which I find sucked!), it's okay to be a reader again!

Or, as I constantly tell people, 'imagine a room of PhD's and BSc's, smoking pipes and wearing the padded-elbow jackets. Suddenly one guy jumps up and says, "Listen to this idea! *a-hem* Rubber Ducky, you're the one..." :D:D:D Hey, you never watched the credits?

[skipthisone]

Im a Stephen King geek (Have all the books, short-stories, most movie posters) and and I have this thing for Dune the movie and books...before pixies i used to play a Dune Computer Game everyday.

[Sharni]

Highlander
There Can Be Only One

Actually there's two *LOL*....Also way into D&D...wether it be the old fashion way(with dice) or PC games

[axe31]

iam a supergeek seen every trek babylon 5,space 1999,almost
every scifi film\episodes read alot, roleplaying,cartoons and i did
have a starfleet uniform (next gen)
how come some one who had huge amoun of knolage about
star trek is a geek but some one who can tell you the score
of a football match in 1969 is normal :confused:

[dicksbro]

Suppose some computer strategy or tycoon games like Steel Panthers; Civiliztion(1 and 2 in particular); Transportation Tycoon; and Roller Coaster Tycoon. Don't know if that makes a person geeky or not, though.

[Janie]

I write my own Sci-Fi stories. sort of in the pattern of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.
I love Stargate. Michael Crichton books.
Classical Music and Literature.

is that geeky? I'm just being me

[Lorelei]

I love studying psychology and philosophy. I love Shakespeare and reading/writing poetry.

I'm a bookworm. I own about 1,500 books. Fan of THE PRISONER TV series. :)

[LixyChick]

I'm trying to come up with something here..........

Nope! Not a geek! Hmmmmmmmmm???

Now I feel left out.........but I've always said of myself........I know a little bit about a lot of things!

Oh Gawdddddd........That's pathetic! If I think of something more specific........I'll be back!

[scotzoidman]

I guess most who know me here know I'm the music perfessor...friends & family ask me when they wanna know who did that song back in the 60s or 70s, & I usually can come up the the most obscure one-hit-wonders within a few minutes...but then I have a photographic memory with a bit of OCD, whatever I'm into at the moment I wanna know everything about it...

[LixyChick]

scotz......Everyone has a photographic memory! Some just have no film in theirs!

Here's a song fer ya......"We're still having fun......and you're still the one".......One hit wonders that everyone thinks they know but......just try and remember who did that one!

As to the OCD.......I'm gonna keep coming back here till you answer this! LOL!

*kisses*

[legend]

ask me something about Australian cricket scorecards, players, stats.....I'd probably know it

[Scarlett]

I too am a Stephen King geek. I have all the books and I have read most of them more than once.

[SOULMINER]

Nation Public Radio...need I say more?

[Santiago]

I have around 38 books from the Dragonlance dungeons and dragons series...

...I also have all of Anne Rice's books (except her erotica series and her new one that I am hopefully getting this weekend) and a shitload of Stephen King books.

[Scarecrow]

Avid Sci-Fi reader Hienlien, Asimov, Nivin, Frank Herbert and Anne McCaffry.

[Scarlett]

Santiago, I have all of Anne Rice's books too including the erotica. I didn't even know she had a new one. What's it called?

[dicksbro]

Scarlett ... don't know if I ever welcomed you to Pixies. I really believe it's the best site on the web and you'll quickly find out we're a lot like family ... kinky family maybe ... hee hee ... but family. :)

[Lorelei]

Oh I forgot to add, I have all the books by Kurt Vonnegut. :cool:

[Scarlett]

Why thank you Dicksbro for the warm welcome. I am really enjoying the forum!

[LixyChick]

legend??????

What about your roses?????

I know you know roses!

[Nice Guy]

I'm a Sci-Fi geek(Trek, Starwars, Babylon5, etc...) Anime, D&D(I play with the national association), Computers.

But don't judge me by what I enjoy. I was also able to play sports well in highschool :).

Lorelei you should meet my bro. He majored in Psych.

[MilkToast]

let's see... I have been told that I am repository of useless information... but usually only in science and technical categories.

Add that to the fact that ham-radio is my hobby (no not talking on the radio, but building them), web page publication (though my artistic side is useless), the stack of PCs in my "guest room" (six in pieces), and all the other electronic gadgets...

Inner geekiness? well more like overt geekiness :)

I didn't even know crickets could fill out scorecards:eek:! Now that's geeky:rolleyes: (who gives them the tiny pencils?):confused:

[Santiago]

Scarlett: its called Blackwood Farm..besides the fact that she blends the mayfair witches in with the vampires, it gives you news about Lestat's recovery..or so I gather from the description (go to www.annerice.com)

Lorelei: I have just finished Timequake and I have read Slaughterhouse 5...which one should I read next??

[Booger]

you too Lorelei I love Vonnegut too

[Christine]

I'm a sci-fi fan, and I love comic books.
I'm a film buff and a book worm (love everything from Shakespeare to King to Sartre). I'm also an endless source of useless celebrity gossip.
Oh...and I love Nick, Kevin, AJ, Howie and Brian...I have all their albums, several books and videos! How's that for geeky! :p

[Nikki]

Hmmmmmmm............jigsaw puzzles and crosswords...........
:rolleyes:

Hmmmmmmm.......but it wouldn't be geeky if i did them in the nude.....!!!!!!......but damn......i'm as geeky as the next person..

Cool! :D

I studied Psych in high school, and I've done a TON of studying on my own. Not my profession; just for my personal knowledge of understanding others/myself, and helping my friends. :cool:

For me, I like reading his books in order--as they were published.

You can read PLAYER PIANO next. After that, the next one is one of my favorite Vonnegut books, THE SIRENS OF TITAN. Awesome story! :D

:D I also have the videos (don't have them on DVD yet), the 3 volumes of Kurt Vonnegut's MONKEY HOUSE and HARRISON BERGERON.

[PantyFanatic]

This really scared me when I started reading it.
whatever I'm into at the moment I wanna know everything about it...
Nation Public Radio...need I say more?

Add that to the fact that ham-radio is my hobbyonly DX'ind now
the stack of PCs in my "guest room" (six in pieces), and all the other electronic gadgets... Hmmmmmmm............jigsaw puzzles and crosswords...........actually logic puzzles instead of crosswords

And books! ………OMG
I have 7 book cases full. Not many novels. Tech and reference mostly. And that doesn’t count the boxes in the basement and attic. (I just got finished throwing out 3 shelves of old computer books.- At an average of $18 each, it hurt.)

And now the last straw- My daughter once told me to never tell anybody I belong to such a geeky thing as Nother Ohio Map Society!!!


not going to even mention the mushrooms, the telescope, the microscope……………:o

[PantyFanatic]

and before UncleSilky or SkipThisOne gets here, NO! I don't eat the mushrooms. ;)

[Pussy Willow]

I love reading anything to do with the supernatural.

I've been watching the Travel Channel's series on "Most Haunted
Location."

I LOVE Sylvia Brown and John Edwards.

I write High Fantasy stories (dragons, witches, fairies, Magic, etc)

And my kids tell people that their mom talks to dead people.
I talk to various loved ones who have "passed over".

Thanks for asking!!!!!

[scotzoidman]

Ok, Lixy, I did have to confirm this one with a bud of mine, but "Still the One" was by Orleans, & I don't think they were technically one-hit wonders, tho I can't remember any other hits they had...& I guess I don't really have OCD, just perfectionist tendencies about myself...
