Quite nerdy by everyday standards...
I use situations from The Simpsons to describe similar real-life situations, for example:

"You know when they went to New York and Marge was pointing out things like Governor's Island and 4th Avenue? That was a bit like your holiday to Egypt when you were little and your mum took you to all the random places and none of the famous ones."

I seem to be saying awesome-o-saurus a lot at the moment, which means I need to stop looking at weeblstuff for a bit. I also bought my gentleman friend a Magical Trevor t-shirt and a cuddly Kenya tiger. He's called Kenny (the tiger, not my boyfriend).

I cry every bloody time at the Futurama episode where Fry finds his fossilised dog and right at the end there's a montage where the dog's waiting for him to come back. It's a bloody cartoon!

I met Terry Pratchett at a book signing and got very very star-struck. I also started reading Discworld at the age of 11.

I did an animation degree and my other half is a microbiologist. We met online, on a dating site. Double doomed!

Looking across the room, I can see a Duckula video displayed prominently.

My handbag for work fell to pieces, so I am currently using my Domo one instead.

I prefer Macs to PCs.

The list goes on...

Yay!
Not just me then. I don't just get "something in my eye" either! I don't even like dogs!

Sometimes my boyfriend likes to wind me up by singing the song that plays whilst Seymour waits for Fry to come back. Then I get misty-eyed. Then he laughs. He's doing it right now in fact, interspersed with singing "Walkin' On Sunshine" in a doggy voice, the bastard.

Haven't you seen the Futurama movie?
Watch Bender's Big Score to see more of the dog.

Click for Fry's dog
I saw this ep recently and it made me well up too. [sniffs]

Someone pass me a kleenex I'm going to blub like a schoolgirl now.

Haven't seen the film...
I don't think I could take the emotional trauma of seeing Seymour the dog again. He called no man "mister"...

I don't think this makes me a geek, I think it just makes me a wussy girly girl who is a girl and a wuss. I did like the Futurama episode with Gary Gygax, Deep Blue and Al Gore in it though, which probably makes me nerdy by association.

Thanks PJM, you pierced my clicky hymen! :)

That episode is below the belt though.
There can be no resistance! *sniff* And Fry thinks Seymour moved on D:

Can't make it past Tiny Tim in Muppet Christmas Carol either. This Christmas, all my siblings 'broke' quite dramatically before we even got to the line about the ducks. No other version seems to have this effect, and I must have seen the film dozens of times.

Tiny Tim
I think it's because he's a tiny little mini-Kermit with a cuter voice. I haven't seen that film in years! Michael Caine must've wondered what he'd got himself into...

Futurama Tear Jerker
The episode entitled "Leela's Homeworld" is the biggest tear jerker, specifically the bit with "Baby Love Child" played as you see Leela grow up...

I remember that well...
That was also a "something in my eye" moment. Leela was a cute little one-eyed freak, wasn't she?
