Oooh I feel so normal in this thread ;)

I can't really say I'm that geeky comparied to others! I don't tune in to News24 for the countdown erm, I don't arrange CDs or DVDs. Actually I don't arrange much - I'm a messy shit....

My phone goes Ring Ring or Beep Beep...

Me too on nearly every count. My Nokia(s) have always rung on "low" and go "beep beep" for a text. I rarely catalogue or arrange anything, and instead have stacks of random discs and tapes of every flavour. Usually they tower around wherever I'm sitting.

That said, I do like theme tunes and have a folder on the PC full of them; but they only get an outing from time to time.

And yet, I suppose my other mates consider my interests are somewhat "geeky".

That is pretty cool. Where did you get it as i need to get a new one. I spilt wine over mine last night, i did clean it up but not very well as it kept going off every 20 minutes. I took it apart to clean it today, and let's just say there is no hope of it ever working properly again.

I prefer the term "geek-lite", but I'm fairly easy either way.

It should be pointed out that with some of the folders I have on my machine, I could be called a smut merchant. And often I am.

It was part of a much larger Christmas present many years ago, so I have no idea where it comes from.
