Other than going to conventions and being a gamer, what makes you geeky?
One of my several things is naming my dog Galadriel.

Have you seen mine postcount?? 
Other then gaming, there is the usually big fan of most things sci fi and fantasy related. There is my love for filks, good filks.
edit: I also refernce movies and books are not familar with or at the very least don't even realize I'm referencing something. It's all about the self amusement.

Small I know.... but some of us just aren't geeky enough I guess.
1) convincing my science club teacher that it was a valid way to use school money to drive four hours and hit the 30 year Star Trek convention in Huntsville
2) convincing my Orch teach that since Star Trek and my high school both had big anniversaries in one year (30 for ST/90 for my HS) we should play the medley of various ST score music at our year end concert.
4) getting dice earings as a present from good friends, and wearing them for normal things like work. Actually a good start to a conversation.
5) and all those small ones that most of us do to express out geekyiness daily

What makes me geeky:
I am a Gamer.
I study Computer Science / I am a computer programmer.
I have 5 computers. (most of them barely worth $20)
I also study Theology - many just can't believe that when they see me.
I have a pet: a cat named 'Putin'
I visit Slashdot.org and enworld.org
I read userfriendly.org and Order of the stick online comics
I own a longsword

What makes me geeky:
I am a DM and Player of D&D.
I've played D&D more than half my life.
I think about D&D when I'm not playing.
I know the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars.
And I have profound, well-thought-out opinions about who would win in a blaster/phaser firefight. (Rebel Alliance beats NGEnterprise beats Stormtroopers, hands down)
I program computers to do funny things.
I know the significance of 42.
I can pronounce prestidigitation.
My nickname on the 7th grade basketball team was "Talented".
Because I wasn't.
I know why the Starship Enterprise keeps "Star Trekkin', across the universe..."
I tried to convince my wife to name our first child after my current character.
I have friends with CHA scores below 10.
I think about my friends in D&D attribute terms.
I've been quoted in a professionally written, mainstream article about the 30th anniversary of D&D.
I quote that quote in my sig.
My wife vetoed my idea to wear a sword at my wedding.
Mostly because she was afraid I would poke someone's eye out with it.
Yeah. I'm a geek.

That wasn't geeky when Ozzy did it to bats -- it was k3wl.Piratecat said:
My wife always said I was geeky when I used to meet her where she worked while we were engaged (she was a manager at an Arby's, and I got to get a lot of free food) with a copy of In Search of the Indo-Europeans by J.P. Mallory, that I had bought because I liked to reread it so much.
And of course, my fascination with linguistics was directly inspired by reading Tolkien long before anyone had thought of making the movies.
