I am a Geek - Right?

I guess I've always been a bit of a geek. More of a geekling, really. I read sci-fi and fantasy and much preferred staying in and reading on the weekends to going out. Not that I had anywhere to go, mind you. I was, after all, a geek.

Do you remember the geek test? I took that test regularly, hoping my score would miraculously change from the last time. I often exaggerated or outright lied in hopes of bettering my score (if you know what I'm talking about without clicking the link, you're just as bad as I am, don't deny it). My dad once described hexidecimal to me - yep, check that I know hex. My brother has all the Star Trek films and watches them over and over again...close enough, check that one too. Played D&D for 12 hours straight...well, it was 6, but 6x2=12, so, yep, check that one.

Then I met my husband. He plays WoW. He can describe, for hours on end, just exactly what the latest patch is going to do to whatever that spell is that paladins use or how I need to respec my warlock because if I use this spell instead of that spell, and get this talent, I'll do like 5 million times more DPS...and I can't even remember the names of the spells he's talking about.

He also plays D&D, and I swear he knows every detail about every class that has ever been invented. This last campaign, I said, "I want to be Keira Knightley in POTC" and sure enough, he knows a class that fits the description.

Me, on the other hand? I just manage to accidentally turn myself chaotic evil. But that's a whole 'nother post...
