You know you're a geek/nerd when...

I love that joke. My ex never got it, even after I explained it.
...when, you're laying in bed with your new guy, touching his face, and get the sudden urge to impregnate his mouth with your hand, a la Aliens, so you do.
and he's an even bigger geek because he knew exactly what you were doing and thinks it's reason to keep you.

you still *ahem* "collect" comics even though you're the same age (and possibly the same martial/social status) as the guy who own the shop.
When you have to pretend that you don't ACTUALLY like the sites you're visiting during study hall, you just go there because a friend asked you to.

* You can happily sit and read a Micro Direct catalogue from cover to cover.
* You know what PWNed means.
* Your PC is running faster than it should be.
* You invalidate the warranty on all your gadgets after 5 minutes of ownership by "taking a look inside".
* You know why hard drives always have a lower capacity than quoted on the box.
* You find yourself humming the theme from Mario for no reason.
This is fun!
More to come...

- You find yourself playing the theme from Star Wars.
- You suddenly find that you know everything about Star Wars that there is to know, including light saber forms, the meanings of light saber colors, etc.
- You listen to classical music and can talk in an educated fashion about things like grace notes and trills and mordants.
- You listen to movie soundtracks and hum along to them - and know all the beats and every turn and everything.
- You make a point of learning every song you love on the piano/guitar
- You have a Star Wars belt that you like to put with your fancy dresses.
- You can talk educatedly about psychology, feminism, and transgendered issues. As well as excitedly. And talk about weird things like socioeconomic status in relation to ethnicity.
I'm a music geek/nerd. And a psychology geek/nerd.

You know you're a geek when you get excited at the prospect or reorganizing your comics (cause you know it's an excuse to re-read).

... you've learned how to speak both Elvish and Mandalorian (Star wars language. Boba Fett)
I have friends who learned to speak both. They're engaged to each other. So... well, figures.

You know you're a nerd when you get the sudden urge to back up your PC's hard drive, format it and reinstall the operating system, usually a half-hour before bedtime.
When you and your husband spend 3 months debating whether to name your daughter after a character from Star Trek or Conan the Barbarian's girlfriend
You, your children and your husband all dress as the Justice League for Halloween or the Lord of the Rings --the 9...not that we've done that...or even worse...you wish you could because it would be COOL!
You co-worker has a pin with the OA symbol on it... and not only do you recognize it but you compliment him on it.
When pulled over by the police, when the cop shows up at your window you wave your hand and say "These are not the droids you're looking for."
(If you're lucky, the cop is also a geek and in a good mood, and instead of writing you up says "These aren't the droids I'm looking for" and lets you off with a warning. ... true story, btw. )

You've memorized the Laws of Aquisition, watched season Six of Babylon 5,viewed all of Battle Star Gallactica the old and new, both with commentary and without and orchestrated a LOTR weekend where you watched the extended versions back to back to back.
Eye damage from that last one.

You don't feel bad when a TV show based on a superhero kills off a long-running and recurring character... only bcs it brings the show back into continuity with the comics.
When said argument re names for daughter came two years after the 'debate' about naming our son Logan after Wolverine.
