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!
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..."    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 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...

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.
