What's the Geekiest thing you've ever done? - Page 5

I used Plan 9 almost exclusively for about a week.

I hung out with an actual Star Wars fan club once, back when I was in Pittsburgh.

I drove over 400 miles to hang out with webcomic artists.

I attended Trilogy Tuesday in Washington DC.

I co-choreographed a lightsaber fight to perform live, and didn't go through with it only because the convention rules considered our dowel rods weapons.

Oh, and I spent over $4000 and three years of my life attempting to make a Lord of the Rings parody movie.

There's probably more, but those are all I can think of at the moment.

- Went to a comic convention and waited around an extra couple of hours to have dinner with some webcomic designers.

- I own around 400 comic books.

- Drew and entire book of superheroes with my friend during 6th grade lunch recesses in the library.

- Wrote Pokemon quizzes for my friends and I, complete with "whose that Pokemon" shadow drawings in 7th grade.

- Wrote the following papers in college:

Why Superman and superheroes in general are inherently evil
A 53 page honor's thesis on Wizards and their characterization

Geekiest thing I've ever done: seeing this, and thinking, "Wow, I'd like to read that actually."

Pft, couples cosplay is not geeky at all compared to the fact that we have "Imzadi" engraved into our wedding bands.

Some years back, I commissioned a replica of Liono's Mystic Sword of Omens from a swordsmith.
