Nerdiest hobbies, hmm. Would have to say reading and learning. Those two by far.
The local library is a brisk five minute walk from where I live. It's only $5 to sign up (which pays for your card) and the only things you'll ever be charged for are overdues, using the music recording room and brand new or expensive books/materials. That may change in the future but at the moment everything's rosy.
I spend the majority of my time in the sci-fi fantasy and DIY sections of the library.
The thing I love the most about sci-fi fantasy is immersing myself in the rich fictional worlds and becoming absorbed with the characters and situations they encounter. As well as getting lost in the bliss of the written word as a reader, I'm inspired as a writer to breathe life into my own ideas, characters, plotlines and yet-to-be-born worlds. Reading great fiction inspires me to write great fiction and fans the flames of creativity.
As for DIY...I had huge learning difficulties growing up so I guess maybe that's why I enjoy mastering something new. I like to learn for the sake of learning itself because it makes me feel happy. I've done everything from beginner's pottery to amateur carpentry to baking for kids (and I've just started on Japanese too). As long as my eyes continue to hold up on me and my brain keeps ticking, I'll find something new to learn.

The rare ones(clear editions/different color editions/gold/platinum) are ridiculously expensive.
I only collect the small ones which are cheaper to collect than the bigger models. Average one costs about 7-10 bucks with shipping included. Rare ones go up as high as 100-200 bucks.

Thanks - I've gone from 4/73 down to like 4.66 in less than a day. Someone clearly has some kind of pathetic grudge and too much time on their hands.

do you really care what people rate your blog though?

Besides the obvious, I yoyo, unicycle, 3d sculpting and animation with blender, and programming in C++.

I think I just get annoyed because there's no good reason to do something like that. It's just spiteful and un-necessary. Also I'd never do it to someone myself.

I don't think its a personal thing, people go around 1 star'ing every blog on the front page...I've seen long blogs get rated 1 less than a minute after they're posted D:.

Awwww, NeverGG, you got me there... I am (I was?) a huge toku & sentai fan. Well, I'm not following the fandom anymore, cause of all those Korean things (you know, kpop, progamers, dramas, etc.), but I still love Kamen Rider franchise (it's too precious for me not to for some reason ;D).
+ Show Spoiler +By any chance, do you post in Henshin Justice or tokusatu lj? ^^;; Also, can I ask you which Kamen Rider series is your favorite. I love Den-O and Kabuto, lol. I also love GARO, no.. I freaking love GARO <333
As for the geekiest hobby, I think I always was (am) a geek, from head to toe.. first I started with videogames (all those emulator japanese rpg games, lol), then anime/manga/visual novels crap, then seiyuus, and then came toku and sentai stuff (alongside live-action musicals and stages in which tokus actors starring lol). I also experienced some japanese Harajuku style,'cause I love street clothing, but gosh, this was sooo expensive, so I had to stop XD ... and here I go again, following SC scene... (though I never liked the game, when it came, I just didn't like RTS). Look at me now.. not only following pros, but also trying to play... well, now I find it extremely cute, lol...

I collect Star Wars, Marvel, and DC action figures and Gundam models. Besides that, progaming such as StarCraft and fighting games.

I forgot Garo. Damn that series was excellent despite the dodgy FX. I love anything out of Japan with a Gothic horror edge to it. Also Fujita Ray is one of my favorite random drama actors. I don't usually hang out at the communities, but I dl all my stuff from TV Nihon :D
My favorites so far are Kabuto and Double for KR and Shinkenger and Go-Onger for sentai. I tried so hard to watch Ryukendo, but it's so awful :/
