While I doubt I have even a shot at winning since some of you are truly masters of the art of geekdom, I felt bad that this contest doesn't seem to be getting that many submissions as of yet. So here we go:
1: For several years, while most of my friends were pining away for Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise in the early 90's, I was obsessed with Tim Curry and had a notebook filled with every single fact I could find about him from the blossoming Internet. (Note: The majority of it I took from the "TheCompleteTimCurry.com" which no longer exists... bastards)
2: I not only memorized but took pride in the fact that I memorized all the words to
3: As a pre-teen I used to write (and share) Star Trek Fan-scripts with my friends and family.
4: I used to lie and tell people my middle name was "Valares".
5: I would refer recording artist not by their chosen monikers but by their real names, thus thinking it made me seem smarter (i.e. I would call "Meatloaf" Marvin Lee Aday)
6: I would listen to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" on my headphones and belt out the lyrics while walking through public places.
7: I wore a stud in one ear and a big-hoop earring in another because I saw Madonna do it in an old music video.
8: Between birth and 1998 I had no idea who ANY mainstream recording artist was that did not release an album before 1990 since I listened to nothing but tapes of the before mentioned Rocky Horror, Billy Joel, Tim Curry (Didn't know he was a recording artist, didja?) and the like.
9: I used to make out with the image of William Shatner I had on my bedroom wall before I had my first kiss... and for several months afterward.
10: And finally, this is one of my cats. I named him Erwin. Only the TRULY geeky will appreciate the reference and the sheer witticism that is his name.

It's only twenty or so hours, so you definitely shouldn't. There's a dude somewhere back in the nineties still waiting for me to respond to his "HI".

Fey, I don't take your delay in responding to me personally.
Honest.

While I admire your effort, this is not geekiness, this is technically classified as dorkiness, a minor, yet significant difference.

I have a quote wall full of bits of paper and post its. I love post its. I have a photo wall of my mates. But the reason why only my sisters and select flatmates can see my room is because I have a Buffy wall. (that and my room is always so messy that I don't want people to see it)
I had always thought that there would be no way I could read fan fiction, until Buffy came along.

Multiple Choice Review:
A. You should put a caption on that lolcat of "Ded cat is ded."
B. Isn't it spelled "I-R-W-I-N"?
C. You obviously got that bag of puff-n-stuff from Sage.

not geeky in the sense they are looking for but you did make out with the Shat, that counts for something.

None of this is particularly geeky.
I smiled at #10 though. Shit theory though - after about four days that cat is gonna be fucking dead.

Yikes...how'd you ever finally lose your virginity?

Most likely from a tall man with hair. Therefore, not you.
