I don't believe there's such a thing as over thinking something if you're having fun.
This, Good Sir, is why you are such a fine example of Geekitude.
As I've been thinking/writing about geekiness again, recently, a memory came back to me from summer camp (I guess I was about 11 or 12), and as a treat one evening after dinner, we all got fortune cookies for dessert, and took turns reading out our fortunes. Mine was:
"You need to take time for fun in your life" (or something along those lines), and while I was sitting there thinking that made no sense (because "is it fun?" was my only question when it came to deciding what to do), everyone else from my cabin exclaimed that was the perfect fortune for me, because I never did anything fun -- I'd sit and read the dictionary, instead (looking up the definitions of words in definitions... haven't we all played that game, sometimes?).
"Geek" and "nerd" were not in these kids' vocabularies (geek wasn't in anyone's yet... at least not in this context), but if they had been, that's the label I would have gotten...
And that video also reminds me I need to do another big post about the geeky things I'm listening to and watching so ther people can check them out.
