    TV: Babylon 5, Babylon 5, Babylon 5. Favorite show for sure. Also Trek in all incarnations, Farscape, Game of Thrones, Dr. Who, Halt and Catch Fire (where I show my tech geek side)

    Anime: steins;gate, any of the Nasuverse (e.g. Fate/stay night), Index, Death Note, Code Geass, SAO, Accel World, almost everything by Studio Ghibli, Read or Die, Aldnoah Zero

    Hi there! I'm pretty simple: Star Trek:TOS, limited anime [Samurai Champloo, Blood+, Ghost in the Shell, etc.], lots of manga [shoujo, seinen mostly], and a gentle appreciation for Doctor Who.

    I'm 190lbs hoping to get down, get down to 130-ish town! Yay for geekiness! :3 Anyone can feel free to add me~

    Marvel, DC, Star Wars, and Doctor Who here. I am a noob to the geek life-my husband and daughter sucked me in, and I love it! I was actually "in the closet" about my transition to geek until Barnes and Noble had Star Wars cardboard cut outs and I started playing with them. My poor work friends had NO CLUE. It was fun. Now my desk is covered in WW and Groot gifts from customers.

    Trying to lose 30 pounds. My first reward will be that I can finally wear my Poison Ivy costume that I spent I don't know how many hours making 30 pounds ago to ComiCon! Then I'll be motivated enough to finish my Ms. Marvel costume (hopefully)!

    I hope you add me!

    I'm so glad that so many people share in the geekiness! I'm so happy I started this thread and found so many awesome people! I just have to tell all of you the awesome Christmas present my hubby got me that only geeks will appreciate. I got a language book so I can learn how to speak Dothraki from Game of Thrones! Eeek! I'm so excited!

    Total geek here. In love with Marvel (the comics primarily, but also loving the new movies), pretty much all sci-fi/fantasy books (Harry Potter among them), all sci-go TV shows (major Browncoat and Whovian)...strangely though, I tend to like action movies more than just about any other where movies are concerned. My current obsession is all things Mad Max.

    Hi all! Nothing better than a gathering of fellow geeks!

    I'm about 67 lbs down on a journey to eventually make it all the way back to my high school weight of 155 - which would represent a total loss of more than 200 lbs from start. I'm originally from Central NY State, but relatively recently moved to the Pittsburgh area.

    As for geekdom.....

    Star Wars, Star Trek (all iterations), Doctor Who, Torchwood, GoT, Red Dwarf, The IT Crowd, Sherlock, anything by Joss Whedon (for he is my master now!), MCU, Stargate, BSG. The list goes on. I used to be a very hardcore EverQuest junkie back when that was still new and cool, and I played a little WoW in beta and for the first year it was out, but since then no real gaming anymore. I'm a tech/gadgets junkie, and I actually kinda work in IT (supporting those who do tech support).

    Please, all feel free to add me!

    Jumping into this thread with both feet :3

    I'm 26, and really don't have any other hobbies beyond anime really. It's my go-to relaxation. Beyond anime, I of course read manga and manhwa. I play video games (RPGs mostly. Think Zelda, Dragon Age, Skyrim, etc). I also am into playing board games.

    Feel free to add me ^_^

    I love postapocalyptic fiction like Swan Song, Lucifers Hammer, The Stand, etc. so many others ....I love zombies, ghosts, werewolves, vampires and the supernatural but more the horror scary kind and not so much the sparkling Googly eyed full of teen age angst kind..... Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, avatar, aliens, scary movies....you name it. Fun stuff :)

    Ever read and Laurell K Hamilton? I'm a big fan of the early years of the Anita Blake series. Have you read Kings Dark Tower series? Is one of my all-time favorite stories.
