You know you're a geek when...

(just add to the list)

• You spend your Friday nights with your 3 best friends programming, watching Homestar Runner cartoons, and website designing
• Your parents pay your allowance via PayPal
• You bookmark the Sonic 4 official site, and go to it every day

 

You pretend to go to the bathroom on a hot date but are secretly Binging the origin of a word on your Blackberry.

You can't work out which monitor your cursor is on.

You turn your house thermostat on the coldest setting and wear Arctic clothing during the summer just to keep your quad core cool.

When asked for references during a job interview you show printouts of your Facebook friends list and your Ebay feedback score.

Your wife asks you to show more emotion so double the size of your smiley folder.

When people started queuing for the Ipad the line started behind your tent.

 

When you know how to code a list using <li> tags...

 

..You start making lists within your lists.

..And realize it's only your shopping list.

 

When your dreams are in megabytes and gigabytes.

 

When you go buy a morning paper at 7.30am then log on and don't read it till 4.00pm !

:-o thats me !!!!!!!

 

You start suffering from withdrawals if you don't check your MG account for 24 hours.

I'm staying in a house on the water, well not actually ON it, for the week. Thought I'd take the week off from MG as well,:-o

So I check my email, that's mandatory, and I'm poking around, thought I'd just come and lurk here to see what's up.

C'est la vie.

 

you know you're a geek when you are in your mid thirties, still living in your parents basement, and haven't french kissed a girl.

 

That's what I do :-D I walk past my laptop turn it on then go into the kitchen and turn on the coffee machine then come back to the laptop and log on while the coffee machine's warming up.

 

If your still doing this, you could even be Josef Fritzl not just a geek LOL

 

Speaking for yourself, motc7?rolleyes:wave

 

Ah. French kissing. What fun

 

Get to feck matey...lol

 

roflmao:duck

 

You just did,Laura.

 

I have a whole different life outside of MG I'm actually quite the ladies man. A pimp, if you will. Like for example, yesterday I went to a concert. Me, and 8 girls.

I was supposed to play in said concert, but our damned bassist bailed on us.:cry

 

To keep the thread on topic I corrected that for you Dawg. :-D

 

Well smegging played mate....lol

 

LMFAO! If you don't believe me, I'll post some pictures on my blog

You know you're a Geek when you think 'VirtuGirl' makes you a Pimp....roflmao

 

Kids these days consider being a ladies man or being a pimp indistinguishable? :-D

I must be getting old But then again even back in my day the only thing to differentiate them was the amount of money each had in their pocket at the end of the night.

 

You know you're a geek zDawg32 when you fix every laptop in my house at least twice. XD

 

I usually had the "ladies man" pockets, only without the ladies. :cry

 

AbbySue gives you the title "Ultra Geek" after you post that your new heatsink didn't come with thermal paste, but you haven't done laundry so you just wore a skirt to the store instead of waiting. :-D

 

Happened to me just last night.

 

some I kifed off another site.


# you see a good-looking girl and you DESPERATELY want her e-mail address so you can get to know her.
# you wake up and realize that your sleep pattern has been following an algorithm.
# your computer chair has the permanent and stiff indentation of your butt in it.
# the only tan you’ve ever acquired comes from your monitor.
# you have assembled your own Linux distribution, and re-wrote some of the more inefficient code, just for fun. ( Hmmm… it’s a thought… )
# every time someone says “I like iMacs” you get mad and shout out “So you only go for the looks, do you? Superficial guy! The inner qualities are what’s important, not the looks! Beauty is only skin-deep!”

 

• you and a friend spend all day trying to install Ubuntu onto a netbook without a disc drive
• you go nuts posting everywhere possible, just to reach that 1000 mark:-D

 

gf: (gf walks in while I'm resetting the BIOS for OC'ing) Why is your finger pushing something inside the computer, is there something wrong with your new computer? Why are you counting?

me: I'm just waiting to reset the BIOS dear. It takes time to clear it to start fresh.

gf: Oh OK. So why do you often sit there with your left hand clicking a switch on the back and your right one pushing buttons on top and swearing in between each click of your hands?

me: The BIOS needs a few power cycles to reboot after I've cleared my previous adjustments. It's a quicker way to get this machine going faster.

gf: Why do you always want to do things quicker? I've had enough of this quicker crap, I'm leaving you!

me: Hmm, now where was that setting to disable the auto JMicron RAID search to speed up the boot sequence!:-D

...or there abouts.

 

When you make a video similar to this :-D

Whoo Hoo!! I'm not a Geek!!
I watched the first minute of that video and barely have ANY idea what on gods green earth this dude is rambling about lol

 

You know you are a geek when you need to to get physical therapy for you back, which is messed up because you have spent years hunched over a keyboard and the weight of you head has messed up your back.

Or you have had to have physical therapy twice for your hands.

Or you get bigger monitors instead of reading glasses.

:-D
