@Imadethisupwithnoforethought You should be proud. Doctor Who is awesome.
Want to hear a geeky hobby that nobody should ever be proud of? I write fanfiction. Lots of it.
Also geeky for:
Star Trek: TNG
Firefly
Community- and by extension, TVTropes. This show is full of rampant lampshade-hanging and tropes within tropes within tropes.
LOTR, Silmarillion, HOME, basically anything that ever came out of Middle Earth
A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones
Roger Zelazny
Wine- I’m doing my best to learn about the chemistry of wine, different methods of fermentation, and how wine growing conditions affect the finished product. I also learned why smells like barnyard and earth are a GOOD thing.
But you know what’s awesome about being a wine geek? Every drinking experience turns into something educational. Obviously you learn about wine by drinking it, but I also had moonshine last week, and it was really cool to learn how it was made (fermenting corn mash in a warm environment until it jumps out of the still and punches you in the face), plus I got super hammered. Win!
Sex toys- no, really. I worked at a sex shop for a few years and now I have practically an entire encyclopedia of knowledge about adult toys in my head. It’s really useless.
Food- Learning all about the history and preparation of certain foods is fascinating, plus it gives me an excuse to be a shameless fatty.
