Or Chikabooms SugardanSen. Watch all in High Quality.
This is my third favorite. My favorite is Attack of the Otaku
and second favorite is Ouran High School Never Ends.

Enjoy them all you nerd/geeks.

*Makes mental note to return to thread to figure out what those are and how to watch them when monk-like boyfriend is not meditating*

You might be a nerd/geek if, when someone asks you to describe what it means to be dating someone who's basically a Buddhist monk, the examples that immediately come to mind are from Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service.

*Guilty*

You might be a nerd/geek if, when you see a teddy bear, you cry a little, thinking of the
* spoiler!*

Holocaust storyline in an issue of Pet Shop of Horrors manga (I think it was in #3?).
*Guilty*

You might be a nerd/geek if, when someone comments about how something is unexpectedly rapidly dissolving (Emergen-C vitamin packet in hot water), you immediately relive the 14th episode of Firefly, Objects in Space (I think it's called?), in which
* spoiler! *
River states that she's dissolved into the ship, Serenity (from a voice offscreen), which 'nobody knew' that she could do.
*This just happened Friday.*

You might be a nerd/geek if, when someone mentions the 'reverb' on a car stereo, you shudder, remembering the 'reavers' from the Serenity movie.

If, when your boyfriend tries to talk to you about Joan of Arc, you instead talk to him about Joan of Arcadia, you might be a nerd/geek.
*This just happened tonight!*

If one of the reasons you watched that show was having watched Amber Tamblyn as Dawn's friend on Buffy, you might be a nerd/geek.
*guilty*
If you'd already loved Amber as Emily Quartermaine on General Hospital, you might *really* be an old-school soap opera nerd/geek!
*guilty*
If you already knew that Amber's dad, Russ Tamblyn, was one of the Jets in West Side Story, you might *really* be an old-school theater nerd/geek!
*guilty*
If the other reason you watched Joan of Arcadia was loving Mary Steenburgen in Time After Time, you might *really* be an old-school sci-fi/fantasy nerd/geek!
*guilty bigtime*

You might be a nerd or a geek due to genetics.

I believe this is true in my case. (I was a geek before I even left the womb.)

You might be a nerd/geek if you majored in Medieval Studies, and even moreso if you relate everything to the Anglo-Saxons. Or if you own a klingon dictionary/grammar guide.

jaybug · « **Reply #160 on:** January 21, 2009, 03:42:05 pm »

You know that in Old English we used to axe questions, not ask them. And that the grammar is closer to Ebonics than to modern English.

uoarh · « **Reply #161 on:** January 21, 2009, 04:22:15 pm »

I sure ain't not didn't weren't not going to never know that. I wish that modern English still held that the more negatives in a sentence, the more negative the meaning of the sentence.

jaybug · « **Reply #162 on:** January 21, 2009, 04:53:21 pm »

Yeah, but we'd have to bring all the metaphors with it. I mean like, Beowulf was not the hero's real name. Or God is not His name, but His job description. Do we use whaelroad to mean the ocean anymore?

But it would make English poetry more interesting, don't you think?

-If you understand why 28 Days Later is not a real zombie movie.

About ten years ago, my church had a guest speaker who was talking about how important communicating is. He used that very same episode as an example.

If you debate on how to prove 1+1=2, you might be a nerd/geek.

Teasel · « **Reply #171 on:** February 09, 2009, 12:19:33 am »

If you've ever walked into a comic book store, and proceeded to go "OMG! I got to get that!", you might be a nerd or a geek.

I've done this before, but what I saw was the Zombie Survival Guide.

You may be a geek if you stumble into class 5 minutes late, mumbling about pigeons in Rome, after staying up till 6:00 AM reading fanfiction.
You may be a geek if you just blew your entire paycheck on one cosplay wig.
You may be a geek if you start sewing Dharma Initiative patches to every jacket you own.
You may be a geek if you cannot understand anything unless written on an online game site.

you know you're a nerd/geek when you're in the library, and ask the lady at the front of the teens section whether they've gotten anymore manga in (because you've read it all)
You know you're a nerd/geek if you stop going to your library's anime events because you've seen all of the anime movies they show, and all of the people around you talk about things that happened about 100 episodes ago in your book.
You know you're a nerd/geek if you're parents get mad at you for spending all of your time on forums, youtube, cosplay.com, and sewing your cosplays.
You know you're a nerd/geek if you wont sing a song in english in front of a crowd, but when they're an anime karaoke contest, you're in
You know you're a nerd/geek if you go to a comic book shop and teach the owner about some of the old dusty comics they have.

I don't have my DI patches yet.....but I do frequently dream in the Lost 'verse....so....you might be a geek if you frequently wake up, after a dream in which you were living in the universe of your chosen fandom, with an epiphany about which you just *have* to immediately (a) write fanfic; (b) call/text/skype/gchat a fellow addict within your fandom; and/or (c) post on forums or fan pages about your given fandom.

And you might be a geek if you are seriously considering getting a 2nd job, specifically to be able to (a) afford a hotel room at con; (b) attend the Browncoat Ball (yeah!)

If you experiment with characters in your comic book story, in a table RPG and use the battle system and dice to determine what happens in the fight scenes. (found it takes longer than I thought)

DancingTofu · « **Reply #182 on:** June 22, 2009, 03:02:58 am »

You generate tables detailing the marginal utility, likely marginal benefit, and marginal costs of doing various basic daily activities and act based on those tables.

If your ears perk up at the sound of a retro video game sound.

I was in a gas station mini mart and the price scanner didn't beep it chinged! The sound made when Sonic the hedgehog collects a ring.

You might be a nerd/geek if you can distinguish a voice actor from the voice over on a commercial.

Example: Maurice LaMarche (Brain from Pinky and the Brain and various actors from Futurama) is Toucan Sam from the Fruit Loops commercials and an old car commercial voice over.
The Professor from the Powerpuff girls is another common one.

Spike Spegiels actor was also Wolverine in Hulk Vs. Wolverine movie, but that's not a commercial. It was just flat-out weird.

I've begun taking Akido, does that count?
(I'm guessing it does)

IDEA!
I'm going to go through and count all of them. Then I'm going to type them up on another thread (with a link to this one) and have people tally points. You know, like how many of these things you can do?
I think that would be cool.

Umm I did that when I realized the "Wendy" from the Wendy's commercials is the same voice actress as Larxene from Kingdom Hearts..... haha

I do that at work.
I also look at folks random places like the bus station and mall and picture myself as the sorting hat what I'd think of them at first impression, what house I'd put them in (HP)
and/or whether they'd be on the side of destiny or reason, a science of faith (Lost).

if you try using your powers from a larp, tabletop, or video game in real life, than wonder why it's not working.

if you have spent years downloading stuff online that's information for a series you like, but then find out after a year, that you have downloaded so much, it takes up two full cardboard boxes just for that. (I have Full Metal Alchemist, and Star Wars taking up over half my closet in information alone)

Hell, when I'm sitting in a boring room, or watching tv I do that.

You know you're a nerd/geek (or just a freak) if when you're thinking in public places, and you wonder if someone around you can read your mind. With this thought, you begin talking to them.

(Yeah... I could just be mental)
