You routinely use the word “apology” when you’re not sorry about anything.

You know you’re a Catholic Nerd when you refer to the GIRM by its full name, just so anyone listening will wonder if you’re talking about some new sort of Catholic weapon (“roman missile”, he he he). Same goes for Deuterocanon.

You know you’re a Catholic nerd if…
instead of posters of Rock bands, you got posters of Pope John Paul II…

Dr. Colossus…I know about those dreams…whew do I!
One was that I was attending Sunday Mass at our local parish, and in an effort to encourage eccumecinism (pardon the spelling), the communion hymn was “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor.
Another was that the parish hired a sign language person (signer) to intrepret what the priest was saying during Mass to all of the hearing impared. Things were wonderful until a change of the seasons came about and inflamed the signers arthritis, which thus gave him a slight lisp when he signed. Well, our redneck parishners automatically saw this as a litmus test which disproved his heterosexuality. So they protested the parish that they remove him because they suspected him of being gay.
…but would it be objectional to post a list of “You know you’re NOT Catholic if”
With such stuff as:
…you have to ask the pastor before making any large purchases
…you take up a second collection for ammunition and ordinance
…your pastor has a business card with his name on one side, and your churches catechism on the other
…just a thought…

Xenon-135,
Wow…that’s some really detailed dreaming! Glad to know I’m not the only one. I told my bro about them, he thinks I’m nuts (of course, he thought that before I told him, too
). Amazing what the Catholic mind can come up with when it’s got nothing better to do, isn’t it?

You know when you’re a Catholic Nerd 
when all your sounds on your computer include the following:
The sound of the incense container clinking.
The Westminster Chimes with the chiming of the bells.
The sound of the bells at the consecration of the Eucharist.
The opening sound when you open up WIndows is the music from EWTN top of the hour ID.
The sound of ‘Amen’ is on the computer when the ‘OK’ computer icon is pressed.
The computer shuts down with the voice of a priest saying 'Mass is ended, go in peace to love and serve the Lord."
Your Icons on the computer for your folders and files are replaced with REAL icons.
You have wallpaper on your computer for ALL the mysteries of the Rosary and ALL the Church’s Feastdays. (I do have all the pics of the mysteries in My Pictures file).

when you collect holy water containers from the world’s Marian shrines
when you ran out of holy water containers so you just re-use milk cartons, soda plastics, and those dang cool hair spray mist things you get for like a dollar at Wal-Mart
when you watch the preview channel to see what is playing on EWTN
when you arrange your day around the Journey Home, Life on the Rock, and the EWTN news thing w/ Ray Arroyo
when you watch the gold station (yes, you know what it is, the non-denominational station that has all gold furniture) just to see how you would defend the faith if you ever ran into them at an airport
when you have so many pro-life bumper stickers that you started putting them on the back windshield
when you think that every song writer that has Catholic type stuff in it must be Catholic (i.e. Bon Jovi, “This is a song for the faith departed…”)
when people ask you the Confession times for the city parishes
when you know most of the priests’ names that live outside the city
when your spouse’s OBGYN looks at you crazy like b/c you mentioned those triad of letters (NFP) that apparently make you some kind of medical idiot b/c you really do believe contraception harms the woman and can cause cancer
when you call Mother Angelica simply “Mother”
when the local Catholic bookstore people know your name and point you to the new materials that they know will interest you

Get ready Raymond Arroyo is on tonight!
You know when your Catholic when you pass out Holy Cards on Halloween.
When you saved up all the palms from Palm Sunday for the last 30 years and give them to your priest to burn for the ashes on Ash Wednesday…for the entire parish!

I’m not sure if I now know I’m Catholic or a Catholic nerd because I’m spending my Friday night at an orthodox Catholic BB and listening to streaming EWTN. Hmmmm!

…And have the homeschooled kids practice them in the car? Oh boy, am I a geek.
Or worse: “Ite, missa est.”
Or get together at the KC Hall to celebrate “All Saint’s Eve”, instead.
Or a traditionalist when your refer to your aerobics instructor as facing “Versus Populum.”You know you’re an orthodox Catholic when:
You face toward Steubenville when you pray
Or can identify by name the type being used at Mass.

How about this one…
You know you’re a Catholic if every time you hear a siren, you say a Hail Mary
Or this one…
You know you’re a Catholic if you purposely drive past Catholic Churches so you can do the sign of the Cross.
Ok, that last one wasn’t really funny.
