you-know-youre-a-geek-if

I found several lists, modified them and put them together. The fact that I modified this list should tell you how much of a geek I am…
I definitely fall into most of these!!!

  • You can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie.
  • You window shop at Best Buy.
  • You don’t even know where the cover to your personal computer is.
  • You truly believe aliens are living among us (they do I tell you!!).
  • The salespeople at Circuit City can’t answer any of your questions.
  • You have more toys than a kid.
  • You can remember 7 computer passwords but not your anniversary.
  • Your checkbook always balances.
  • You have more friends on the Internet than in real life.
  • You spend more money on your home computer than your car.
  • Your custom built computer costs more than your car.
  • You look at a movie trailer and think, “I have that font.”
  • You set up an automatic rerouting of your e-mail to your pager.
  • You get sudden attacks of bittersweet nostalgic feelings when thinking about your long-lost old Commodore 64, Sinclair ZX-81, TRS-80 (or whatever hardware you were raised on), and use large amounts of money/time trying to track one down.
  • You are wearing ten year old spectacles, made of steel.
  • You realize you never cook, eating only take-out pizza.
  • You check your web access_page more than once a day.
  • You seriously consider devoting a web page to your computer. (Not the brand, mind you, but the actual computer itself)
  • You have more e-mail addresses than you do pairs of shoes.
  • You already know what you want to write both Master’s papers and your dissertation about, and you just graduated from College.
  • You can discuss the philosophical and physical differences among the Tangos.
  • …Although vaguely insulted by pocket-protector jokes, you still find them funny.
  • You plan to get two Masters degrees.
  • Someone asks you what languages you know, and you reply Upper Slavic, French, Esperanto and C.
  • You are on the Obscure Software and Computer Crap Junk Mailing Lists.
  • Sleep and nighttime are no longer irrevocably linked.
  • You arrange to get e-mail access no matter where you go.
  • You walk past a Con and people know who you are.
  • You rig up elaborate mechanisms to do really basic tasks.
  • You get REALLY excited when people from countries with limited access to the ‘net are frequent visitors to your pages.
  • You write web pages about your web pages.
  • You can remember your web address faster than your phone number.
  • You do your best work after 11 p.m.
  • You work in a building where you need a badge to move between floors.
  • You calculate the odds of getting one of the prime parking spaces in relation to your apartment, factoring in time, weather, season, etc, and are accurate over 80% of the time.
  • You can count the number of moderately good hacker/computer dude type films on one hand. (I promised not to froth at the mouth when I went to go see The Net — I failed miserably.)
  • You’ve bought one of those license plate holders on which you can have your URL or E-Mail address embossed.
  • You can track the geek gene through your family tree.
  • You froth at the mouth when someone talks about the “Information Superhighway.”
  • Not only is your computer in the center of your room, it’s set up to allow ‘netting from your couch, as well as your desk chair.
  • You arrange your jobs so you can telecommute.
  • You organize your CDs, so the tops all face upward, alphabetically, or by record label (If you do more than one of these, you are an Anal-Retentive Geek).
  • You carry an 88 mb removable cartridge to and from work.
  • You can sing “Smooth Rider” from Grease 2. If you do the hand movements while singing, you should get out more. (So what if I do this!!?)
