Well, I have so many interests that I can be obessive about. It just all depends on the kind of mood I am in or a lot of the time it changes throughout the year. When it comes to the traditional 'geek,' I learned to troubleshoot and put computers together at a young age, ordering parts and assembling, etc. Also, I am very passionate about politics, history and I care a great deal about the outdoors. Studying environmental science and chemistry is a passion, and going camping and snowboarding/skateboarding is another.
When it comes to popular culture today, my brother and I watch more movies than what is probably healthy. Our group of friends also geek out bad on certain shows, mostly stick to the history channel and discovery, but also a lot of sports. Then other shows like Dexter and The Tonight Show mix in some the Daily Show and South Park , but nothing beats three-hour specials about Nostradamus ... lol. Cars is another big interest after spending a lot of time in Ft. Dodge for school as there wasn’t much else to do or talk about. Barrett-Jackson just had their yearly Scottsdale auto auction, that was a fun week.
Uh, maybe geeking life is a good statement? Sci-movies are probably my biggest passion and I'm getting a research paper going. Movies like Star Wars, A.I., Bladerunner, Donnie Darko and countless others all have solid storylines with background information that came from somewhere. I think the link from history onto the cinema is very appealing when it comes to writing and research that I want to do.
