Nerdy things you don't/didn't want friends to know?

[saucecode]

So I was rockin a 4 player squad in battlefield with some friends today, and one of them confessed to a fairly nerdy thing that she originally kept secret (which i won't reveal), and so I came to the thought that a lot of people have these little things they would rather not have other people know.

For me, I used to be obsesed with that game "Flight Simulator X", and so I really knew my way around planes. I find this a pretty "nerdy" thing, but the skill really shows through in jets in battlefield.

So care to share with us any ?

I collect action figures and figurines.....

while i have no problem telling people on the internet or who I know well in real life..I do refrain from mentioning it in general

Please, I have X-Plane and regularly make my own planes for the thing.
Love aircraft and I'm not too quiet about it.

Anyways, what I don't like to admit is the My Little Pony thing...

Not really a secret at all but my friends are often astounded by my knowledge of random nerdy trivia.

DOCTOR WHO.
IT HAS TAKEN OVER MY ENTIRE LIFE.
THE BOOKS, THE SHOW...
SOMEPONYBODY PLEASE HELP ME.

But seriously, I'm eccentric and egotistical enough that I don't really mind being open about a lot of the nerdy stuff I do. I made a few passing references to FiM last year in school, but that didn't really take off quite as much as I thought it would've.

I played and thoroughly enjoyed FFVII. Hell, I can barely let people on the internet know that, apparently that game's still cool to hate.

I have little flowers painted all over the walls of my room and a small fairy thing behind my dresser. Oh did you say nerdy?

I used to play those free-to-play, pay-to-win Korean MMOs for awhile D:

Don't think nerdy is the word for it though. More like retarded

Is it also cool to hate the Titanic movie with Leo DiCaprio, and Shadow of the Colossus? I dunno, maybe we go on different parts of the 'net, or maybe I just woke up from a cryo-chamber, but...

Mostly just my large knowledge of geek Pop culture and internet memes and such, especially among my not so internet savvy friends,
although I really don't try to hide it that much. MLP on the other hand... well let's just say theres only one person that I know that knows I like that show, and that person is me. Although it has gotten to the point where I subtly (and sometimes unintentionally) reference the show in conversation.

I still play Classic Tetris on my GameBoy when I'm bored.

It's like an addiction.

 

[Mariakko]

I play a lot of the Japanese Visual novels including 18+ ones.

I like to play formula De, and I have even carved and painted my own cars for the game... but I don't show anyone, who would think playing a racing car board game could be so fun, but it is! IT IS I TELL YOU!

Ditto. Although sometimes my trivial knowledge extends into the arbitrary, like how a turtle can breathe through its asshole. Don't know how or why I know that, but you never know when it'll come in handy!

And am I the only person who knows a Brony IRL?

 

[Mitchell Leger]

I actually know a large amount of lore in the elder scrolls universe and enjoy reading the books in skyrim

Titanic, yes, SotC, not unless you don't get it.

OT for content: Well, there's the obvious MLP, but they still don't know that.

Are you suggesting OP is the chick, or OP has some sort of obsession with said chick, or am I completely oblivious to who that is?

I believe he was talking about his twilight sparkle MLP avatar.
