Random geeky things you've done

The geekiest period of my life was when I had this crush on a girl and I started writing poems to try and impress her. For over 2 months this went on and wrote over 20 poems (mind you I was 14 then, so most of them were quite useless). However the effect was opposite of what I wanted. The girl began to think I was a weirdo and got freaked. She started avoiding me thereafter

I learned the 150 original Pokemon off by heart, but unlike Beefy I stuck to the Blue/Red/Yellow series (Yellow was the first game I got). Silver, Gold etc just didn't feel the same. But those first 150 Pokemon have a place in my heart. [sentimental smilies goes here]

When I was 12-15 I played tabletop wargames.

When I was in primary school, probably around age 9, I could name all 151 pokemon in order.

As a kid I used to build box forts.

No girls allowed.

Are you kidding me? That isn't geeky in the slightest! Box forts are the best thing known to mankind, and the epitome of boyhood.

Also, getting two box forts and fighting with a friend is awesome. Better with an enemy.

I knew about the aussie capital but i always thought rio was brazil's capital... another one of those trick ones!

Another slightly geeky thing... occasionally whenever shopping or splitting a bill comes up i am used as a human clalculator!

Why is it girls dont want us to be romantic outside of arelationship, but then as soon as you're in one, you have to be? We should find a female orgah and interrogate her...

People may know the pokemon in order... but do they know all the evolutions and levels... that's sad...

quick poll... who's actually completed a pokedex aside from me?

Mine was ruby version's... whilst I was sitting as an artist model... i couldn't help but raise my fist in celebration. Then I realised, I had a lot more to do.

All 150 a few months after red/blue first came out.

I was so ashamed I erased the game immediately to hide my transgressions.

Unfortunately people have gotten dull since the olden times. Before, the more well-to-do people cared about poetry. Nowadays no one does. That tactic would never work with today's women. Not unless they are literature geeks...

As for Pokemon, yes I was in the craze too. I was in Russia, in 1st-3rd grade, and I spent it in Pokemon. At that time, every boy had what we called kepsi, or plastic, round trading cards that were slammed against the floor, and if they flipped to the picture of the Pokemon, you won the round. The two players would go on util one got the picture, and one did not. Then that round card would go to the player that got the picture. I also know all of the original Pokemon. Ahh, those were good days...
