What's the Geekiest Thing about You?

There's no love like geek love.

Myself and my brother tend to sometimes express ourselves using some obscure movie quotes... and we use them to tend to talk in our own little code at times.

I read Marvel comics and I collect Pokemon cards 0-0

I once knew, by heart and without having intentionally memorized them, many of the 7400 series CMOS part number mappings.

I'm a total biology and medical nerd. Here are just a couple of examples.

- I'm watching spongebob (oops, guess that's geeky too ) and thinking "Wow, his parents are round, squareness must be recessive, if it's controlled by one gene..."
-At work I'm thinking about transplants and immunology and say "Man, it sucks to be a woman. HLA typing is harder once you have kids, you have potential markers against your baby daddy and babies!"

I do like World of Warcraft- haven't been playing lately because money and time are tight, but I do enjoy it.

I'm sure there's plenty more, but I was the one in high school that corrected the horrible spelling and grammar in the bathroom stalls... Yep. I'm so cool.

I had a level 16 cleric in D&D. Sometimes my party would dress as our characters and we'd play for days on end.

I'm a list maker.

I make lists about lists that I've made.

I can't function without them.

Also, my sister and I have our own language. People in our high school thought we were foreign because we developed sort of an accent because of it.

Until Sunday I would have said my Star Trek collection. Every series , every movie and all the fan film I can find. Also my Star Trek halloween costume that comes out about every other year.Now it is being more than a little upset that Transformers 3 has Leonard Nimoy doing the line "The needs of the many must outway the needs of the few." as a bad guy.

Obsessive much, why Yes I am.

Speaking of Star Trek, I own a life-sized replica of a TNG badge communicator. It's pinned to my satchel and goes with me everywhere.

Any couples here had a geeky wedding?



Love & Math are the only authorities I bow to.
