    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



    They sure catch fish too






    They also catch turtles apparently

    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.

    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. )

    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
    0.1 Pastel Lesser Platinum (BP)
    0.1 Dumerils Boa
    0.1 Indian Sand Boa (Sunset)
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa (Anery)
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa (Rufescen)
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa (Paradox Albino)
    1.0 Kenyan Sand Boa (Paradox Snow)
    And a lot of Tarantulas

    Re: Other things you take to a "Geek" level

    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!

    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.
