Ok, spill it! If you are a self-proclaimed geek, what is it exactly that makes you one?

One of the many things that are considered geeky about me is that I LOOOOOOOVVVEEE Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I'm re-watching the entire series for like...the fourth or fifth time right now. It's sooooo clever and wonderful!

Now it's your turn!
I'll add more later on. ^_^

I love Star Trek: The Next Generation.

I also get made fun of because I remember minor details of popular books I read, and so I end up correcting people when they're talking about it...

Totally kills conversation, and everyone's all "Man, that girl is such a geek."

Catlynn, I don't really know you, but I love Buffy too! I love Joss Whedon and I will watch anything he makes. So, because of our mutual love...

Let's see, I geek out over...


Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I can quote you lines, give you details, I can draw out a timeline of events. I recently got into an in depth conversation about Buffy's MBTI.

Angel. I love Angel, and Angelius too. I have issues.

Medicine. In class I always have the correct answer and some of the other people in class snicker because I'm "a show off". Whatevs. I Actually read the chapter(s). Deal with it.

The Walking Dead. Okay, if you haven't seen this show, give it a shot. It's so well done! When I have a little more money saved I'm going to read the graphic novels.

Theology. I love theology!

Psychology. The study of who people actually are and not who they project themselves to be fascinates me.

I have, but I'm not as big of a fan as I am of Whedon's tv shows. Although I do love Serenity and The Avengers.

Well, it certainly puts a smile on my face.

I'm also a huge Tim Burton fan. I have this dark side that I only let out on special occasions...mwahaha!

and Chrono Trigger....

yeeeaaahhhh
WINWINWINWINWINWIN!

I'm not super big into RPGs, but Chrono Trigger is my most favorite video game of all time, hands down. It was the sole reason I had to OWN a SNES, because renting one for the weekend just wouldn't get me through the game. I cried after Marle resurrected Crono. I have replayed it countless times (and yes, I've gotten all 13 original endings), and I never tire of it. My text message sound is Crono's sword strike (and nobody ever recognizes it).

Rabid fandom of Chrono Trigger aside...

I was a huge X-Men fan through high school and college.

I was a big anime and manga geek too; I worked Chicago's AnimeCentral convention for several years.

I'm a car nut. I've never owned a car without three pedals.

I've got a bit of a Trekkie streak, although my knowledge isn't super extensive. Wrath of Khan is best movie. (Not best Star Trek movie. Best movie. Period.)

It would be unfair to say I'm a music geek, since having two degrees in it takes it to whole other level. I'm a scholar. ^_^

I'm a kitchen nerd, and I have two sides: one that wants all the gadgets (sous vide machine! induction cooktop! CO2 cartridge foamer!) and the Alton Brown that says I only need a stockpot, a cast iron skillet, a nonstick fry pan, and some good knives.

And, as it has been well documented, I are a brony. I have been so dorky about it that some of my students caught on, and THEY became bronies, and then last year, they wouldn't stop bugging me until I arranged one of their favorite MLP:FiM songs for them to play as an ensemble. So, out there on YouTube is a version of Winter Wrap Up played by my students (and me), because we are huge brony geeks.

Geek level: eleventy billion and threeve.

Wow ummmm...no one ever called me a geek in high school or anything,but I'd say all the things I like,most nerds do too...
FireFly
Buffy
Angel
I was reading J.R.R. stuff at the age of 6
Star Wars (everything)
Up until about 5 years ago I used to customize Star Wars figures & sell them on eBay...ummm prob cashed in well over 3K doing that for a few yrs...hmmmm
The music I listen to..pretty "out cast from the norm" worthy..metal,industrial,elcetro,dub step...oh and umm..a lot of it's christian.
Oh,sure being a christian makes you geeky.lol
I don't dress for fashion-I dress comfy. (and no that doesn't mean going to the store in flip flops & pajama bottoms)
The new version of Battle Star Galactica
Japanese Anime
Old Godzilla flicks
Adventure Time with Finn & Jake
well...ok...basically...here's what my office looked like 2 months ago...and yes the Darth Vader talks as well.
Wait...maybe I'm not a geek...maybe I'm a fetus. Anyways,his is toned down compared to when I was married...because then you had my ex-wife's geekyness of Legolas,Johnny Depp & Wonder Woman stuff crammed in the office as well.

Tim Burton is a genius. Flat out. How do you feel about superhero movies? I have a dark side and I let it out often. I used to be rather like Dark Willow. No, really. PM me if you'd like to know why.

Dr. Horrible is just one of his TV shows smushed into 45 minutes! With singing! How can you not be a big fan? *pouty face*


I costumed up as Dr.Horrible for Halloween last year, complete with freeze ray. Part of me wants to arrange the music as a suite for marching band.
