"List 5 reasons why you are a geek. And make them good reasons. Justify them. Explain them. Be loud and proud about how big of a geek you are! Then pick the 5 biggest geeks you know and have them do the meme."
1. My gaming library. It's grown over the 20+ years that I've been gaming. I have 8 half-height bookshelves, all organized to each hold a certain game system or genre. Also, I usually have at least one gaming book with me in my backpack.
2. My comic book collection. Most of it is still at my parents' place, and the older ones aren't in mint condition -- they've been read! Many times over! I get comics to read, not to collect and hang on to until the Apocalypse.
3. My affinity for watching Food Network's UberGeek Emeritus, Alton Brown, and wanting to cook like him, and have his gadgetry.
4. I can write and read Tolkein's Elvish alphabet, typically when writing English in it. I haven't gotten to the point where I speak Quenya or Sindarin as of yet, though.
5. Techno-geekery. I like to know what the newest thing is, and see if it fits in with me. To that end, I'm a PalmOne geek. I won't touch anything with PocketPC or WindowsCE anymore.
Who should answer these for themselves? Anyone who wants to.
