I attended a two day StarCraft II tournament held at a local sport arena. I don't like nerd culture, but I have a bit of crossover.

I hide a Dovcot+Roundcube server under my desk at work because I hate Exchange/Outlook. I once configured a script on my home computer to send my mid-2000's nokia phone text messages with the weather and schedule for my bus route.

There was a guy that would bully me in my astronomy class in sophomore [or was it junior?] year in high school. I was really into computers and "hacking" at the time. I used to go to those computer trade shows which would have a lot of grey market software. One of the booths had a "hacking" disc which had illegal warez and programs. One of the programs on the disc was WinNuke. If you're not familiar, it was a simple program where you would enter an IP address and hit the, "NUKE" button and the target computer would get the blue screen of death. Well it just so happens that my astronomy teacher decides to have a computer lab day. The whole class walks into the computer lab and the teacher is adamant about everyone using the time wisely to research their topic. It is at this point I decide to pop in the disc with WinNuke. I check my IP address and then start counting the seats to my right where the bully was sitting. I add that number to my IP address and BAM. Nothing. Nothing happens. I start contemplating what I might have done wrong when I hear someone complaining about their computer to my left. They have the blue screen of death. Ah ha! I SUBTRACT the number from my IP address and BAM. Blue screen of death on the bully's computer. He is mildly frustrated, but shrugs it off restarts his machine. After a few minutes, his machine boots up. Right as he gets Internet Explorer going, I hit the button again. This time he is audibly angry mentioning how shit his computer is. The teacher is alerted to his behavior and comes over to inform him that he better get to work soon. After complaining that his computer is broken, the teacher appears to give him the benefit of the doubt and leaves. Well a few minutes later his machine boots up and ... well you know the drill by now. The bully flips out, banging his keyboard, the works. The teacher comes over and informs him that he has detention while I try my hardest to muffle my laughter and glee.

Haha thanks, it kind of made up for the rest of the year of the bullying.

I dragged my parents (my best friends at the time) to see a band called Harry and the Potters play at the local library.

I've spent many weekends reading old mormon literature(I'm not mormon) hoping to find tidbits of information that could have possible effects on a story about space pigs.

My girlfriend and I skipped our senior prom to eat pizza and watch crappy anime until 4 AM. 11 years later, and I've realized this was a metaphor for our lives.

Same here! I observed 1337000000 way back in May '12 (just over 100000000 seconds ago!). https://twitter.com/megasecond is great for observing megaseconds.

In my freshman year of high school, I won a Harry Potter trivia contest. The grand prize was a ticket to the winter formal dance. I came really close to just blowing it off and staying at home and playing video games, but then I found out that the dance was being held at the local Science museum, so of course I decided to go. Yes, I went by myself.
