[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 2441648, member: 20686"] Well, let's see- [B]sloppy[/B] - I'm actually often accused of being a neat freak, both in appearance and environment. [B]unwashed[/B] - absolutely not [B]obsessive[/B] - Well, I don't know if I'd call 30+ hours/week on geeky hobbies [I]excessive[/I]. :) OK, yes, big time. [B]skinny/fat guy[/B] - Yep. I often joke that I'm as large as Jabba the Hut (notice how I even describe my geekiness in geek terms) [B]poor social skills [/B] - actually, my social skills are far better than most "non-geeks" [B]male[/B] - yes [B]under 30 [/B] - not for entirely too many years. [B]bearded[/B] - Yes. Long hair, too. [B]wears lots of black t-shirts[/B] - I don't think I own a t-shirt that [I]isn't [/I] black. The vast majority of them have fantasy motifs, too. [B]plays Evercrack obsessively[/B] - Not Evercrack, but other CRPGs. So it counts. [B]lives in his parents' basement[/B] - Nope. Own my own house. There's actually a good chance that one of my parents or in-laws might need to move in with [I]me[/I]. [B]doesn't have a job[/B] - Professional career type. So no. [B]never had a girlfriend[/B] - Married for over 14 years. Even have a teenage son. However, I am teaching him to paint miniatures, which puts this item on the the geek list for creating "Gamer: The Next Generation." :D [B]enjoys geeky hobbies apart form gaming[/B] - every sci-fi show from Star Trek to Farscape, science fiction, conventions, costuming, computers - actually, I can't really think of a "geeky" hobby I haven't been into at one time or another. Overall, I'm not just [I]a[/I] geek - I might just be [I]the[/I] geek. [/QUOTE]
