Well, let's see.
I have a few superhero emblem t-shirts that I wear once in a blue moon. I try to stick with the one's that are less recognizeable by the general public (which means that right now I could only wear an FF "4" shirt out of the shirts I have) or the ones that lots of people wear like Batman & Superman (although, I only have the KC version of Supes). That's about as geek dressed up as I get.
I don't really play any sort of games.
I do spend a bit of time online with this board and other sci-fi/fantasy related stuff but most of that is with this board.
I do like to watch lots of sci-fi & fantasy tv shows and movies. I probably do that more than I actually read books of the same genre although I do that some too.
Where I really put myself over the top in geekdom is the decor of the interior of my house. Every room except for my two bathrooms has some geek decor. Godzilla stuff and posters all over the place and then my computer room/library (ie dungeon / "basement") has most of my books/comics, action figures (some on display), dragons (stuffed, pewter, ceramic, plastic, candles, posters etc...), more Godzilla stuff, my Star Wars and Star Trek "reference books" (what's geekier than that
).
Okay, my bedroom has Captain America's shield mounted to the wall. Next to Thor's hammer, which I keep on my dresser next to my cheap copy of The One Ring, and of course there's Godzilla posters on the walls (I've been thinking that the one that says, "Size Does Matter" might not be the best thing to hanging near my bed.
). There are also more books, comics, TPBs, all my G-Fan magazines, my Godzilla flashlight.
Kitchen: dragon refrigerator magnets, a magnet I made of my Ice Dragon avatar
, my Taco Bell Godzilla cups and cupholder, my Godzilla lunchbox, Godzilla walkie-talkies and a couple of Gamera figures.

I post on boards
I go to conventions (Sometimes dressed up)
I'm leaning the languages
I have a ton of stuff on video/DVD
I've used Star Trek as a text in yr 12 english
I've spent over $1000 on the Star Trek Card Game, probably as much on The Star Wars/LoTR game
I went and saw FoTR and TTT four times each
EDIT: I have posters everywhere in my room, now spilliing out into the hall, mum is not amused.
Not sure where to go from here.

Letting anyone who I didn't meet in a geek context get the slightest inkling of my war, role-playing and computer gaming addiction, my fairly large collection of sci-fi, fantasy and RPG books or my B5 season DVDs. I lead a double life that I'm very happy with.

Coming to this board I'm really not into scif-fi anymore. I used to be more into sci-fi but that geeky stage has passed.

(No guys, I have a strategy here, really. I piss her off enough to actually carry out her threat. Then, once the pictures at least exist, you guys go on with "That's just Prawn, we hate him, he doesn't count" until she gets over it and posts them. Muahahaha.)

I never dressed up as a character. I never been to any conventions. When TNG was one on TV I was very young and never understood it. So I was never a Trekkie. See http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?t=29986 for my early concepts on Star Trek.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.
