When I went to spain for 2 weeks I spend over £2 to check the NS forums quickly on the hotel PC.
I bought my PS2 at the airport on another holiday to Spain. I spent most of the holiday playing the MGS2 demo and I completed Monkey Island 4. I only went onto the beach opposite our Hotel when I was forced to by my parents.

I'm such a gaming geek it's untrue. I hum gametunes whenever I'm whistling or bored, I always notice PC sound effects being used in other things (films usually, for example there's one in Return of the King from Magic Carpet).

I'm a closet geek. Unfortunately, that means I'm very boring to be around, because I don't let people know the things that interest me, interest me, if you see what I mean. So I do all my geeky things when I think noone's around.
teh geekiest thing i do is when im out side im always alert for skulks and when i see a cat, i say racatacacacacaca!! die! and if the kitty runs away, i chase after it lolz.
I wouldn't say calling yourself after a Pratchett character is geeky - no more than calling yourself after any other book or movie character, anyway. Unless you mean renaming yourself Twoflower in real life, which would be scary.
I have already used 'lol', when I was supposed to chuckle. And when I happen to be writing something on a piece of paper, I keep wanting to press ALT+S, because I'm afraid the paper will crash.... *sigh*

I sometimes argue with things just to see what reactions i get off people, like in school i started screaming at my table and got up and punched it and stuff. That was fun.
Watching Saving Private Ryan in school (history class, woo), when the sniper died i jumped up and screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" because he kicked too much **** to die.
I really don't like crowds so if I have to walk through a crowd, i start twitching my neck and mouthing songs (rap songs work best because it looks more like you're talking to yourself rather than singing) and people really do move out of your way.
Those are more weird than geeky i guess. The most geeky thing i've done was when watching The Day After Tomorrow, there's a bit where they walk into a room and the whole room is covered with ice and snow (so it's all white) and i remember thinking "WTH they couldn't be bothered to texture the model?"

Then how do you define a geek? I consider myself a Star Trek geek. I didn't have any idea about that TK 442 stuff. Does that mean I'm not a geek at all?

...What?
I have touched myself up while thinking of a drawing.
Is being able to design the Firebat's flamethrower concept from scratch geeky?
I planned my material usage and MAG feeding regimes in PSO to make sure I had the best Force possible.
