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.

LOL oh yeahhh that's Roman the roaming gnome. Gosh I've had him for almost 8 yrs.lol He looks good for his age.
I left out the fact that I used to collect comics up until I go married...I had tons of unopened Star Wars figures,etc...Toys from Japan,I sold all that stuff right before my ex & I had got married & moved to Maine,just because I honestly felt I was becoming a hoarder (before it was fashionable to be one & have yer' own tv show) I really have kept my geekiness to a dull roar over the past 10 yrs or so,because if I'm not careful I just get too involved in it. LOL I'm a sick sick man.

Well first of all. The definition of geek from google is:
Noun

  1. An unfashionable or socially inept person.
  2. A person with an eccentric devotion to a particular interest: "a computer geek"

Its unfair of them to put unfashionable in there. What does fashion have to do with anything? As far as socially inept goes. Yea I'm pretty socially inept. I do have a devotion to electronics, but I would not call it eccentric. I also love apologetics. Anyway this definition kind of bothers me a little. So anyone who has a deep passion for something has "an eccentric devotion".

Anyway I have just proven myself to be a geek by looking up the definition and over-analyzing it. ;)

Umm...technically a lot of things (or at least fanaticism of them) makes one a 'geek' (or a fan...)...

So, in that respect, I'm a geek when it comes to movies, music, games, technology-related things in general...war stuff...especially the old school war stuff like knights and wizards...which may or may not be fantasy...

...and then...I like wolves...and music related stuff (band equipment..think guitar center)...and...broadcasting...ah...

Just, pretty much anything technology related - (minus) tv and such...

I also like history and travel (geography) and culture...and philosophy...and theology...and many 'the study ofs'...

Yeah...

Have you SEEN how many posts I've made today? I think I refresh every 30 minutes or so. Granted, I'm randomly sick today and have nothing better to do. Lol
