Top Ten Geekiest Hobbies

Coding for fun == ... == mate attraction

Hah! Thus are you exposed! You're no coder, after all!

Holy crap..I do 8 of them

Not the furries though...you can relax.

Actually, I worry more about blood-drinking vampires than I do people who dress up as squirrels to go out on dates.

Scratch that; no, I don't.

Ssh! Don't tell my boss. They keep paying me!

Whew! I only got one category and that is for Role-Playing. I disagree with their comments though. I haven't got a single Heavy Metal T-Shirt nor do I have a button down with wrap-around flames. Thank goodness for the stylistic influences of significant others/spouses. Friends don't let friends wear nerdy clothing. They also force them to use soap.

I found myself thinking the same thing as I read that article. Sure, I'm involved in all these geeky activities/interests, but I don't really fit the stereotype for any of them. I only one a few black T-shirts and they all have either an MU Tigers logo, Harley Davidson logo, or some other sports team on them! (Not your typical geek-wear.) Plus, I've never dressed up as a charater from Star Wars, though I did emulate Luke Skywalker a lot as a kid...

The article did re-affirm my belief that I'm not nearly as big of a geek as I once thought. After all, I don't fit the majority of the stereotypes. Whew!
