May the force be with you.

I tend to bring up the weather topic in any conversation. Whenever someone says "Oh it's gonna rain today." I say "Oh totally. I really hope it thunders today as well. Then it'll probably break the record for the most rain, which was 4 inches since 1988".

Yeah, I'm THAT much of a weather geek.
 
I've done oh so many geeky things. I own around 10 anime DVDs that aren't newer anime. I own 50+ manga volumes, 30 of those being Negima!. I make it a point to seek out locations of hobby shops, video game stores, and bookstores wherever I am, and often go to either the electronics, books, or trading card sections of whatever store I'm in. I also am almost obsessed with finding out the specs of people's computers at times. I go to LAN parties. I have been a DM for D&D and D&D like games. And much more that escapes my memory at the moment.

I have a pretty large Warhammer collection.

Doesn't get much worse than that.

If Warhammer weren't so expensive I'd probably be in the same boat. I have several friends who play. Are we talking large by "normal people" standards or large by geek standards?

I do something like this way too often, myself.

Playing the Star Wars edition of Trivial Pursuit against some of the nerdiest kids at my school... and winning.

"What are the approximate odds of successfully navigating through an asteroid field?"

I can imagine the look on their faces when that happened. Although I consider Star Wars.

Someone tried to tell me they've seen more anime and read more manga series than I have. So I bet him $20.

Most upsetting $20 I've ever acquired. He was pretty mad, too. He's still mad. He's like. Actually mad at me for being a bigger nerd than he is lmfao ):

Oh, wow. Overreaction on his part much? :x
 
Talking about Star Wars in great detail and explaining things to people, humming Star Wars songs constantly, making Darth Vader breathing noises, pretending to wield a lightsaber, giving punny food-related Star Wars names to all my classmates (see here), making people call me by a fake Sith name I made for myself, making my parents play Star Wars Trivial Pursuit with me despite the fact that they know nothing about it, randomly quoting Doctor Who / Star Wars / My Little Pony in conversations (complete with fake British accent for Doctor Who quotes and fluffy girly voices for ponies), publicly brohoofing people, obsessively whistling the Doctor Who theme song in public, going into huge depth about Pokémon while talking to people who don't understand the games at all and never will, quoting random movies . . .

Too long a list. xD Those are my little nerd achievements since I don't have any big ones. <3
 
Sometimes when I am talking to my boyfriend alone, I tend to talk a little too much about Pokemon and their status and other good stuff about them; sometimes I tend to do it with my two best friends also. I don't mean to do it but it doesn't seem to annoy them (except for my boyfriend sometimes) so I don't feel the need to stop until they tell me that it annoys them. As for the most geekiest thing I have ever done, it is wasting a lot of money on my collection of 300 plus Pokemon dolls and taking pictures of my favorite ones.

Me and my neighbors used to play really intense games of Cops and Robbers outside, which I always spearheaded. We were playing at my brother's graduation party and I remember running into the backyard with like half a dozen other kids behind me and shouting "Now for wrath, now for ruin!" as this was during my LOTR obsession. The party was in the backyard so just about everyone there looked over and I was quite embarassed of my nerdiness.
 
When I quote TeamFourStar's Dragonball Z Abridged.

"But Vegeta, then you have to worry about the fraggles!"
 
Yesterday at work:
Colleague (trying to be some sort of psychologist): have you ever been in love.
Me: once, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
 
When my friends went to see The Last Airbender, when some guy in the movie spouted a obscure fact about Iroh, I immediately corrected him out loud.

Sadly, that was the best part of the movie.
 
MOST OF THESE AREN'T EVEN ALL THAT NERDY!!!

As for me, I speak in Thalassian semi-regularly at home and in public. Bam!
 
My whole life feels like a giant geek-fest. I cosplay, I used to roleplay DBZ when I was a kid in the playground. I write game-fanfiction. I draw game-fanart. I play DnD..
>_> Now at work we have this awesome street-fighter machine in the lunchroom.. so I play videogames regularly at lunchtime.
I've explained EV training in pokemon to people, too... I just.. the list is endless.
 
When people keep bugging me about something irl, I tell them it's not very effective.
