    My man is kind of a geek, but in the grand scheme of geeks, I don't think he's too bad. But he still does these ones:


    5. Wearing obscurely geeky T-shirts to "normal" places


    His 'Mac daddy' and 'Computers: the wave of the future' shirts are cute, but definitely need to be house shirts.


    6. Requiring extra room in the house for geeky things


    How about the entire spare room and the whole of a double garage, plus random scatterings of geeky things all over the house.


    8. Looking up information while a discussion/argument is still in progress


    I can't criticise him for this, I do it too.


    My baby ain't too geeky afterall :)

    -Living alone while unemployed


    -Watching entire tv shows on DVD in single evenings


    -Running out of toilet paper when you have guests over.


    -Expired OTC medications. Always check the labels!

    Doubly so if you live above the ground floor.

    Beware of 6 weeks of constant drinking. Your skin and liver do not like you, and will protest.


    Beware of being in the same group as your crush, and then falling asleep drunkenly at his house AGAIN. And everyone knowing it. Even if it was on the couch by yourself.


    Beware living with four boys. Your kitchen will be covered in baked on tomato sauce and melted cheese.


    Beware that its St Patricks Day tomorrow (It will be where I am), and you have to strap a bottle of wine to your hand and drink from it. Then have a full day of class on Wed.

    Beware car alarms that:

    - don't get turned off because people don't think to check and see if it's their car causing such a ruckus.

    - everyone ignores because they have such trigger sensors that everyone assumes it's a false alarm.

    @elitza is the liver: I have heard that, but these were not being prepared for stock. They were being displayed for nefarious purposes...like freaking out my dinner guests (in tight quarters this was the immediate view out of our dining room window). And for building a Flinstones-style xylophone.
