I'm a big rock geek. I'm a geologist and many times my trips revolve around going to place to check out rocks. I have hundreds of pictures of rocks. I have hundreds of pounds of rocks at home from previous trips.

I work as a geologist so rocks are somewhat a passion of mine!

I have one word for the HHR community....DENIAL!

I just know there are some trekkies out there...ashamed to speak up

I have another confession. I went to the midnight premier of the last star wars episode (III).

I'm a trekkie...but i won't dress the part! does that mean I haven't comeout of the closet?

Let's see..........I have in the neighborhood of 200 diecast fire trucks of various sizes. I also have fire department badges, patches, hats, T-shirts, helmets (including an old Dublin Fire Brigade). I also have my old firefighter and lieutenants badges, my old helmets.....................oh, and don't forget the framed fire photos. It all drives my wife crazy, but I can't seem to just walk past something fire related. She has called me a few things but I don't quite remember "nerd"

Hey Deb...

Have a family friend that is into NASCAR, also. He has so much "stuff".... cars, posters, parts from famous cars (autograph and authenticated), helmets (also signed), that he had his new house built around the room HE DESIGNED for his memorabilia. I'll try to get some pictures and send them by PM, if you're interested.
