I'm an English nerd, I'm always spellchecking my friends work.
And some more reasons
I'm too tired to list them though.

My reason for being a nerd is that I'm going to a high school dedicaded to game designing, so I'm gonna be a games designer, graphics. When I said that in a round of "What do you want to do when you get out of school?", someone literally said "Oh, you're going to make Counterstrike 2! Why didn't you say that?" God I hate people like him.
Edit: I'm a grammar nazi as well. But that only applies when I see obvious mistakes in other peoples works.

Lets see -
I have an atari 2600 that I still play, as well as a Commodore 64, I am a computer programmer (no I don't do games, but I'm working on my own), I can play three musical instruments (and working on at least one more), I have every Discworld Novel (including the ones with pictures and some of the side stuff), I have read (almost, on the last one) a fantasy series more than once that is based on a role-playing game the author played, I have more than 10 video game systems, all of which I play, for which I've got altogether over 300 games, I do math and logic puzzles for fun... uh... I post on forums when I should be working.
And yes, Descent is a game I'll still play. Great stuff, great stuff.

I always liked GURPS better than D&D because it offered more chance for character role-play and less incessant dice-rolling. You could actually play as a person.Canebrake said:

i don't look or act like a geek when i'm out and about...but i have many geeky things i do 
-i can solve a 2x2 3x3 4x4 and 5x5 Rubik's cube in good time.
-i play WoW, eased off to casual player now but would turn down going out to play and say i was sick or something when i was hooked, sad i know
-i browse new computer parts when i'm bored...which is quite often.
-i watch star trek...not deep space nine though, thats a load of crap.

-My record for not stepping outta the house was just over 4 months.
-Programmed my first hello world program when i was 11. ( It was in pascal )
-I win algorithm contests for my school :O
-Whenever i go out I carry my laptop around with me and i'd suggest to my friends that we order starbucks coffee using the pseudo intellectual term 'Venti' while i start up my comp and jump on the free wifi.
-After playing D&D for a few sessions when i was like 8, i started designing my own version of RP games and i actually DMed it daily for my friends at school, and we'd just play it through class, break and meet together at my place after school to play it. NOT KIDDING. ( I'm 17 this year so that's 9 years ago, 2000 )
Although I look only slightly geeky at best. When my friends meet me they mainly describe me as some form of weird, geek/indie person. ( I use an ipod touch... NO NOT THE FACE )

I wear glasses, I RP a whole bunch whenever possible (but no LARP'ing), I constantly craft new RP boards on www.invisionfree.com, and I can recite half of the major speeches from LOTR...on top of that, I tend to go on long rants about original games like Psychonauts or Okami, and can be found on my computer for a good portion of the day.
I played WoW, D&D (2nd Ed rocks socks) and Starcraft.
I have read The Wheel of Time, Lord of the Rings, the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I have every Monty Python's Flying Circus episode on DvD
I have a lvl 5/4 Half-Elf Ranger/Cleric and a lvl 20 Human Paladin.
And , finally, I'm posting all of this on an internet forum devoted to video games.

Long before we even start rollin dice we are in our characters, which kinda freaks the people around us on the bus a little, which is half the fun

Large glasses
Several types of dictionaries in my room
I read Edgar Allan Poe and know all 18 stanzas of The Raven by heart - and I generally read more than those around me
Have written three novels in under one year
I'm really more of a literary geek than a typical geek, as I don't have any special computer knowledge
Edit: And I am currently sewing a model of colossus #3 from SotC

well, gaming forums. I'm not really a nerd or a geek. I'm not really anything. I do some nerdy things but they seem to balanced out by my non-nerdy things.
I have a computer with slied cards and am going to upgrade
I have the collectors set of Buffy the vampire slayer and all five seasons of angel
I try to make it to the weekly lan as often as possible
I have a horrific need to know everything I can about upcoming movies no matter how stupid it looks
80 percent of my rather large book collection is sci-fi fantasy
