How Geeky Am I....
This is just a compendium of my life's passions. And I love that about me. Feel free to click on the links, I worked hard making them so people who didn't know what the deuce I was talking about could find out, and those that do can share my love for all things geeky. If you recognize everything on this list, not only do you deserve a gold star, but we can be best friends now, CONGRATULATIONS!

I could go on, but I'm going to quit while I still have some dang shred of street cred left. I could go much deeper in the darkest reccesses of my nerdity but I don't think most people are ready for this jelly. I love being a geek tho, I think we're some of the coolest, nicest people in the world, and I wouldn't change a thing about me for all the latinum bars in the 'Verse.

Oh dear God! I know more than half of what you're talking about. You lost me a little with Monty Python but majority... MAJORITY of what you mentioned, I knew...
lol, very nice.
I have to remove one geek point from you for not including Frell in your alien curse word vocabulary. :)
Of course! I LOVED Farscape, as you can see on the banner on the bottom of my page. But, you're right, I dropped the ball on that one. I will now force myself to listen to Justin Bieber for ten minutes straight.
