What's your inner geekiness?
 
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?

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.

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.

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!

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 10-31-2002 06:37 AM

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*

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.
