Other things you take to a "Geek" level

Fishing and Kayaking. Anytime I can I am outside on the water. If I cannot be on the water, I love coding and helping people fix stuff on computers. Only a slight nerd here ;)

Fishing, one of the few activities out there that can be as equally geeky as redneck-y.

And here's what remained from a catch straight out of my personal real-life shark-week experience

I also make my own lures and tie my own flies

My biggest 'geek-out' of my life was 8 years playing ultima online. Best MMO there ever was, but after kicking the habit for the sake of college classes, I couldn't get back into it once I had time again.

I also have collected marvel comics and cards since I was in the third grate (I'm 28 now). My son (Logan) will have a plethora to enjoy when he's older.

My husband and I are pretty geek but most wouldn't know it at first... unless they hear Weird Al's 'White and Nerdy' blaring from the car (eh, no one's perfect).:rolleyes:

Ugh, 4th edition D&D. Don't even get my GF started on how awful that is. (She "tolerates" 3rd edition, while still pining for 2nd. :P)

Its been tough but I have to move on. Very few of us old timers left out there. I move often (military) and its hard to find a steady group thats experienced. I had to give up and move on to the newer stuff because noobs want to be current. :(

If any of you are gaming geeks- my husband bought me a PAX three day pass:D

I believe is a Cod Specie... and Nice catch :gj:

My geek level passes from different things with time, and always makes a full circle, right now I am on snakes and for some weird reason F1 racing?!?!, normally it goes something like:

competitive video games
guns/hunting
fishing
competitive shooting
vehicles (usually my Jeep but can be motorcycles and fast cars)
Computers (had a real rough case of it about 2 years ago...spent wayyy to much $...but I have a kick-a$$ computer!)

Like I said, it always finds its way back around to one thing or the other! But when I am on something, its all I can think of and I research the crap out of it!

Comic Books Started collecting in 1973 & Model Trains:rage:

Used to have a blast playing 2nd edition with some good friends, what a great game! Later we discovered a complete set of 1st edition in my brothers old stuff(didn't even know he played) and had a fun summer playing with those but always ended up back in 2nd edition, good times.
