You might be a geek if...
11. Monitor tan.
10. Before heading to the bathroom you inform your friends you're off to download and log out.
9. You become physically ill at the mention of the RIAA, and visibly excited at the mention of object-oriented programming.
8. You have a poster on your wall of the Linux penguin.
7. You're mad because all your friends got goodnight kisses after prom, but your sister just slugged you in the arm and said "Thanks, bro."
6. You think having twice as many computers as there are people in the house is a bare minimum.
5. You feel that living life like the movie "tron" wouldn't be so bad.
4. In your little black book, you list (both) the girls you know in order by IP address.
3. You can type faster than you can speak.
2. When your shrink says "Mother . . . " you say " . . . Board."

And the Number One Sign You're Becoming a Geek...

1. If, by some happy accident, you someday have kids, you want to name them after your favorite fonts.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...

Hey, what's wrong with "Bernhard," "Verdana," or "Arial"?

Phew, I'm none of those. But I'm a few that should be added to the list.

"You're walking past a sign and shout out 'That heading is made in Copperplate Gothic Bold'"

"The first thing you do when you walk into the house after being out for the evening is to go straight to your PC and check your email (and the male version - download porn from newsgroups)"

*big grin* [I think that's about all my brain is capable of at this point]

Did someone say something about object oriented programming?! Man! Is it hot in here or is it just me? *Looks up at Tux for comfort.*

Twice as many computers ... huh, that might explain the uneasiness that's been in the back of my mind with only 3 computers for two people.

Just checked on the kids and little Tahoma and Georgia are doing fine ... Century Gothic apparently got picked on at school again today, though. :\ Oh yeah, and did I mention that I typed this entire reply before I finished saying "That's funny"? :)

Well I haven't all of them yet but I'm working on them :P

I don't think there's anything that strange about #1, and neither do my kids Cooper, Garamond and Tahoma.

you meet people IRL and lose interest in them the second they say they don't blog.

I'm with Jessica, I always seem to know the names of fonts in commercials, signs, etc.

And so what if we have 4 computers at home for two people and each have a computer at work? :P
