We are all ugly and alone...

Well, maybe not. I know I am. But I'm sure there are two or three people around here who have hundreds of friends and were really popular at school. Anyone...anyone...hello?

Anyway, I'd like you please to inform everybody of the geekiest thing you have ever said or done. This game will rub off on you, sooner or later. When was the moment you realised "oh, crap! I'm a geek!"

For me, it was a Saturday night three or four years ago. Me and about six friends were sitting in my living room. Two of us were reading D&D manuals and/or adjusting characters, two of us were playing Magic: The Gathering, another two of us were playing the Star Trek CCG and we were all watching Deep Space Nine.

I looked around the room, and said "Oh, Christ, what have I become?"

Then I kept playing. Of course I did.

And I've never looked back.

The geekiest moment I ever had happened ages ago, and it really wasn't all that bad.

A buddy and I had decided to just hang around his place that night, instead of going out - we were young and poor. So, anyway, we were flipping through comics when his roommate brought over his very attractive girlfriend, and proceeded to have incredibly loud sex with her in the next room.

About 10 minutes into their little fleshy symphony, I just started laughing. My friend stared at me, so I pointed at the door and said "That's how close he is to a woman right now", then held up the Justice League comic I was reading to a splash page of Wonder Woman and said "and this is how close we are."

We couldn't stop laughing for about 15 minutes.

I went to a face to face meeting with a woman I met on the internet. We were both geeks but I think scared her a bit with my geekeyness.. We meet at a comic shop which had closed by the time we got there. We went my car but could not decide where to go. We sat in the car talking comics and gaming for hours. That was as close to a date I've ever had and it was years ago.

We talked online and on the phone a couple times after but she stopped talking to me.

Ya well still being in high school I would say that it depends on what you say is a geek, I mean I play dnd here and there and video games so I admit Im a geek, but i only do this with people online and a few other friends some friends dont play some play different things like I have a group of people who play super smash like a lot and i play that with them but nothing else, and another good group of friends to just play anything. On the other hand I am also a runner at my school and do track and I have other friends girls and guys where I just hang out and do regular stuff go to movies parties ect... So pretty much I think of myself as not just a geek but many things.

As for most geekiest moment umm well havnt had one as funny as arcane runes but i dont know cant really think of anything im pretty laid back

My geekiest moment arrived when I read this story about 1,000 YEARS of POWER and I e-mailed the link to everyone I knew.

I used to play hockey when I was younger and my body wasn't so broken.. We used to goto different tournaments, generally to have a good time and trash hotels..

One game (used to play at least two a day in tournaments) we were getting hammered, we already lost one game and this one wasn't going well. I think it was some time in the second period we were down 3 or 4 by then, weh my geekist moment hit.. We had a few idiots on our team (Tournament teams were made up of people from our league that normally didn't play together) that believed if we weren't winning then lets hurt someone..

One of our Defensemen Devistates the other othe team's Right winger in the cornor of the boards. Everyone was shoked and silent, not thinking of who I was around,I was on our bench at the time I mistakenly said "ouch, he obvousily failed his Save VS. Death". Well my whole team (and the linesman) stared at me like WTF. It took some explaining (A very lot) to other my team what that ment. I believe I was called Dork for a long time after that =)

I turned down sex to watch Battlestar Galactica.

Well, at GenCon 2003, right after the Ennies ceremony, Cthulu's Librarian, Eric Noah and I had a conversation about the fact that all three of us are librarians. As a matter of fact, I believe Eric referred to it later as a Geek-Fest.

It was when I briefly but seriously thought about how hard it would be to purchase some body armour, weapons, cape and a mask and become a real life crime fighter.

I am married to a librarian. I believe that she prefers the term "nerd" to "geek."
