This might be better in the Dog House. :o

[cloverfdx]

Hehe i thought about mentioning that, oops maybe i should have. :o

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I don't have any of those hobbies, but my husband does.
Justin reads/ collects comic books and he plays the collectible card game- Marvel VS. :rolleyes: I've always told him his hobbies were dorky now I have proof. :D

[micki76]

Nope, but I found the article hysterical. :D

[lute]

[Oggyflute]

Oh dear. #3 . I'm a Star Trek fan. :D

Scrapbooking is just helping you remember your favorite memories, and yes, I do it a little, but I'm proud! I can't stand Star Trek.;)

Aww Suki, "To boldy go where no man has gone before"
How good's that. :D

[christa]

I've made ONE scrapbook . . . guess I was just having a "geeky moment" ;)

[wolfsoul]

I scrapbook. But I've taken a break because I became a little too obsessed. I would stay up an entire 24 hours straight working on one page until it was perfect. I decided the next time I start up again will be when I get my puppy. I won't be sleeping anyways, right? :D

I did collect Pokemon cards when I was like...10. Lol. I still have them. I'm desperatly hoping they will be worth money one day. Desperatly hoping. I have sooo many of them.

I do enjoy reading comic books, but I don't make a habit of it. I buy them maybe once every couple of years.

[smokey the elder]

9, 7 and 3. I got addicted to role playing in college and our group still gets together several times a year. (Sad, huh>:p ;) ) I've been a Star Wars and Star Trek fan from w-a-a-a-y back. :D

[PJ's Mom]

I love Trek (DS9) collect Magic the Gathering cards (over 5,000 and counting) and even like Star Wars! :eek:

I guess I'm a geek. ;)

[slick]

I used to scrapbook when I was a kid but not anymore.

I'm definitely a Trekker.....and I have my own tribble! :)

Beam me up Scotty....there's no intelligent life here! :D :D

[catnapper]

Whew... dodged the bullet. Though at the moment I am elbow deep in paint and glue for making scrapbook shadowboxes to sell at a craft show. To my defense, the whole time I'm making them I AM thinking how utterly silly they are. I've never understood the whole scrapbook thing. I think its the picture framer in me... all those years of cutting mats and putting things in frames, it freaks me to see people cut their pictures into heart shapes and glue it to a heart decorated paper, ugh. I like clean lines and clean color.

I guess all that over-analyzing scrapbooking makes me a geek in myself???

One of my very favourite episodes was "The Trouble with Tribbles" and I fell in love with those darling creatures. I saved for a couple of months and finally went to our local Trek store and bought my own. She's battery operated and really does squeak and purr. Funny, I never did name her...:confused:

Too bad we didn't live closer....I could get you to babysit once in a while. :D

[Oggyflute]

I dont mind being named after a tribble.
You could call it Trev the tribble. :D

OK, but my tribble is a "she".....maybe I could call her Trevelle??? That has a nice ring to it, don't you think?? ;)

Yeah, I like it. :D

[PJ's Mom]

I had a tribble, too. Peej ended up claiming it as his. He loved the tribble noise it made. Then one of the cats threw up on it, I had to wash it, and now it's just a hairy ball.

Does that make me any less geeky? :D

[jazzzytina]

And here all this time I've been telling my husband he's a geek for being in.....


AMATEUR RADIO!!!!


AND IT DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE LIST!!! WOOHOO!! HE'S NOT A GEEK ANYMORE!!!

:D :D :D :D

HE'S COOL! :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

(i'll keep telling myself that)

[Twisterdog]

I'm rather relieved that I don't do any of these things. I usually can relate to all the "geek"-type quizzes. LOL

I like Star Trek ... but how does one make a hobby out of a TV show? I guess the very fact that I don't "get it" means I'm not geeky enough, eh?

;)

[IRescue452]

Would liking star trek voyager be a trekkie thing? Almost all the characters are humans and they really play down this wierd scifi stuff. Not that I'd ever run around with a triangle attached to my shirt I'm not into it much but its a good show to turn on once ina while. Role playing can get you a more interesting bedroom life once ina while, but yes it is geeky when a person starts making their own scripts. I have never gotten around to scrapbooking but if I had the time and wanted to put in the effort to tape some pictures to a book I'd definatly be a geek until I run out of pictures. I have a hard enough time remembering to bring in film to be developed. Rather amusing perspective on geeky hobbies though. I'm glad antique dealing is not in there. Hey, ya make some good bank doing that. I'd like to add Harry Potter fans to the geeky list though. Sorry guys.

Absolutely not. :D You got a tribble too?! *sigh* Now I'm going to have to try and find one. :D
Of course it would be coming into a dangerous situation, what with Oggy & Flute on the prowl. :D We had to put away our jumping tiger, becausing Oggy was itching to see what made it tick.:D

[Corinna]

Wheewww I made it none of the things I do are geeky. gee imagine that. I do have to complain about Everquest I have a great nephew who worked on the graphics for it. He designed Myst, Riven and Uru. I keep tring to get my techno greek son to send him some stuff and get a job designing.

[slick]

Hey Oggy....never fear.....Today I took a couple of pictures of Trevelle just for you and when I get it developed I'll post it for you, OK? Maybe we can arrange for you to be "GodDad" or something... :D ;)

That would be great. :D I feel attached to her already. :D

[cookieluver7]

I scrapbook. All my friends and classmates do too. Along with lots of you guys too. If you ask me, scrapbooking isn't geeky. lol. :p I really enjoyed reading this article!

[chelsea]

I guess I'm a dork since I like both Star Wars and Star trek but that's cool with me. I'll take sci-fi shows over all the stupid reality shows out these days, I just don't get what people see in them. ;)
