I have turned down weekends of sex for marathon games too many times to count. Funny, it only seems to make them hornier.

No idea when I realized my geekdom, although maybe it was the "Hardy Boys" TV show I produced for my 5th grade class.
I realized how awesome it was to be dating a geek when my girlfriend (now wife) assigned a pleasant action to every number on a d20 and had me roll.
Yes, I introduced her to D&D and it was my greatest achievement!

I've known I was a nerd for a long time, but it never particularly bothered me. I was not unduly ostracized in school for my hobby, and managed to make it through with a lot of acquaintances and quite a few close friends.
That being said, my nerdiest moment was probably one morning when I was taking my sister to school. I'd been playing a lot of Star Wars, and happened to be thinking about it as I navigated the icy roadway. She accidently set her elbow on the "window down" button on her side, rolling the window down and letting the cold outdoor air in to the still-cold van. Without a moment's hesitation, I yell, "Dammit Callee! Roll up the window! You're venting atmosphere!"
And then I thought, "Oh my God...that was the nerdiest thing I have ever unintentionally said."
...and it still is.

Bit o' the ol' persecution complex?tetsujin28 said:As a general rule, I have found that anyone who considers high school the 'best years of their life' is really not someone you want to know
I dug high school. The only reason that it wasn't the "best years of my life" is because I had not yet met my wife. High school rocked.

Because I was such a big dork in high school, I got really depressed- my life degenerated into drugs, booze, heavy metal, and whatever forms of self-destruction I could find.
The effect being that I was really popular in college. Sometimes when something went wrong, such as someone puking all over themselves at a party, I would yell out “CRITICAL FAAAAILURE!!!!” Eventually, people around me picked it up and started using it too… Never having any idea they were screaming D&D terms in rooms full of hot women.
Man, those were the days. I’d never want to re-live them, but I’m glad I had them.

Hmmm....not to bring down the fun mood or anything, but I honestly really dislike terms like "geek", "nerd", "dork" etc etc. In any context. I dont like to label myself, or have other people label me.
I'm a human being. My primary areas of interest are indeed stories and ideas and games...fantasy and horror and science fiction, philosophy, religion...all these things.
I've had moments like the ones described here. But its not "geeky", its simply a person living their life and loving what they love.
Partially its just cause I dont like labels, and partially its because for me, those terms have been used so much in such derogatory and pejorative ways, its like...certain racial epithets that I will not type here.

Well, I'd say one of the times my geekiness really showed was when I and the rest of the group went bowling and we started using D&D terminology. For example when one of us got a strike, we all agreed that he/she must have been using Power Attack... Just one of those days, I guess. Got to love being a geek/nerd/whatever-you-call-it

The geekiest moment I can think of would be when Futurama was about to start and there was an article in Spin magazine about the show. The reporter visited the writers of the show, and wrote that there was, on the table in the room, the Dungeon Master's Guide to Monsters. At that moment, that reporter was the stupidest man alive...
