Nerds Unite!

_HeartsOnFire_

I'm one of those nerds who is so OTT that I make other nerds uncomfortable.
The issue is that I'm a nerd and a fan girl fused together into one eccentric lump :bigsmile:
Case and point: I have a Batman wrist tattoo. When I have exams o am under stress, I look to my tattoo for my inner Wayne.
It's devastatingly dorky.

Once more proving why I love you...

I love all things nerdy.

Has anyone posted this yet? Can't resist. Just sayin ... :drinker:

*Sings* Is this love that I'm feelin? Is this the love that I've been searchin for?!
I'm also really REALLY into cosplay. I'm at my best when I'm dressed as a comic book character. Last year was Harley Quinn (my lovah!).
Other than all that, I'm really into science. Specifically biology. I have 4 large biology books I read daily. My ritual is watching sci-fi while I study, keeps me in the zone. Favourites being The Thing, Aliens or Prometheus (that fallin ship scene!)
I am a know-it-all nerd though. I like learning things simply to insert these tidbits of knowledge in at random irrelevant times.
"DID YOU KNOW BLAH BLAH HERP DERP?!"
I'm annoying. Like Hermione without looking like Emma Watson :grumble:
Eff Harry Potter btw.

NERDS UNITE!

I always get ridiculously excited when I stumble across a random nerd on MFP. Now, look! A WHOLE THREAD OF THEM! I think I actually squealed. Don't judge me.

Too tedious to list all of my obsessions, but gamer, fangirl extraordinaire, glutton for TV, movies, books, and information.

Feel free to add me for support.

I though I posted in here, anyways, engineering student, sci-fi fan extraordinaire.

add me.

Not sure of the difference between nerd, geek and dork so don't know what category I fall into but I'm sure I'm one of them

I'm a research scientist. Give me numbers to crunch or graphs to extrapolate or a problem to solve and I'm happy as a pig in muck. When I'm not doing those things, it's word games for me. I haven't produced my own weightloss spreadsheet but you can be sure I've tried every method of representing the data in various apps...unfortunately none of them make the last few week's plateau look anything like a downward slope

I love the way you go about this in an analysis type of way.

Ha ha that's me! I can be quite irritating :laugh:

I'm a library-type nerd. I like reading, I don't drink alcohol, I like a quiet Friday night at home, talking with my man or reading a book.

Deep love for Joss Whedon, especially the buffy-verse.

It's like you're me...except less single

I move country quite frequently (globetrotter) and I carry an entire suitcase full of my favourite books with me.
Book nostalgia has done my back no favours.

After reading this discussion thread, I felt compelled to Google for definitions of Nerd vs Geek. OMG as if I needed more confirmation of my nerdiness. Nerd by trade here (software developer), with geeky pursuits (anime). Happy weekend, everybody!

Hello Chris I'm a nerd too. I play a 360, and I love minecraft.

LumpySpacePrincess1

So I'm like 80% geek and 20% nerd then?
My social skills are nerd (irritating introvert) but my obsessive side is full geek.
ENLIGHTENMENT!

zeebruhgirl

Nerd lyfe.
I'm a PS3 (soon to be PS4) kinda girl. I love me some Pokemon too.

My huge nerdity though? COMIC BOOKS. I'm a DC fangirl like you wouldn't believe. Marvel is okay too ;]
I also read a lot.

And anything I get into, I'm obsessed in. I research the hell out of anything that interests me.
I tend to become an expert on a topic in about a week or so. It's kinda ridic.

Add me nerds! Boys and girls a like!

Howdoyoufeeltoday

I think my profile picture says it all. I love anything and everything superhero/comic book/sci fi. I'm a huge movie and television fan and I'm currently reading the Harry Potter books! Anything you would associate with a geek is basically the stuff I enjoy! So add me if you want.

Nerds are the new cool kids. Especially ones that exercise.

BrittanyHarrington1015

Totally agree. I mean, I like sports, but I'd much rather play them than watch them, and I'd rather play video games than sports. I like watching Star Trek better than any of those! LOL

SonicDeathMonkey80

Nerd here... mostly board games, some video games. I'm always up for a good game of Warhammer, Talisman, Relic or Last Night on Earth

mo_chuisle

Haha. This post made me smile! My boyfriend has introduced me to Steam - we started out playing Trine which surprised me at how beautiful it is!!! I really enjoy playing it, takes you into a different world for a bit and you get engaged and things don't seem so complicated or insurmountable in the world anymore. He loves the Steam sales - now I'm trying out CostumeQuest

I think "Nerd," is just a synonym for interesting! My real-work-life is pretty demanding (and boring) a lot of times, and even though I studied creative things in school... my day job reality is pretty different.

Favorite superhero - Superman, but Captain America is a close second... and I will probably like any show, movie, or book with the word "Star" in it (Sci-Fi/Fantasy). I love female heroines, like most Hiyao Miyazaki flicks, and of course Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I am not really into traditional sports, but will (sometimes) show up for the food.

If you need support, or want to support another "Nerd"-ish person I'm around. Take care MFP-ers.

Hi Chris,

Spent a week of vacation trying to level a new character in Neverwinter. The next week I bought the Insanity workouts, and I told myself for every hour spent playing a game I need to workout to match it. When Elder Scrolls online comes out I'm in trouble!

Is anyone watching Joss Whedon's new superhero TV show in the US? Thoughts?

I am a pro-technology nerd -- I prefer e-books to printed books. I can carry hundreds of them on a trip and still have room for clothes, and I can pump up the font (my glasses don't correct my vision very well).

This post has been ridiculously fun to read! I tend to keep to myself on MFP, but I felt compelled to write on this post. Count me in if you're still looking for fellow nerd/geek support! Interests include (but definitely not limited to) Dr. Horrible, Firefly (Browncoats unite!), basically anything Joss Whedon, anything Zombie related (actually, anything horror movie related - they're my favorite kind of background movies to watch!), BBC affiliated (Sherlock, P&P, etc.), books of almost every kind (professional student over here), and thinking that life should come with personal soundtracks for every occasion. There isn't much out there that I don't like to some degree...

AegisAngel

:glasses: Hey Nerds/Geeks add me. Anime, scifi, super hero-loving geek here.

kittiebittie

Oh good! I'm a anthropolgy, psychology, sociology and history nerd. Goths, anime, fashion, rebellion, functionality of the brain, rare disorders, The Man, how society functions. . . . :drinker:

Ha, this puts me in a geek area then.

I do free-form roleplay online, got hooked on WoW, definitely a Browncoat, enjoy Tolkien's books, and the list goes on. But many wouldn't know it unless I start babbling about it.

I'm such a nerd that I managed to lead a WoW raid team while in medical school.

I once got into an argument with a classmate about whether a Roman Cohort was 20 or 80 men. It took 30 minutes.

Not only did I play XBox in college. I played it competitively.

I cared when they replaced Cassandra Cain as Batgirl.

I once wrote a scholarly essay about the de-regulation of the American Banking system coinciding with westward expansion and American imperialism in the 1890s. It took 70 pages. My professor was impressed and terrified. Mostly terrified.

In college, I wrote for a website that dealt in Sabermetrics. That's the study of baseball statistics. Yes. That is the art of further enjoying baseball, THROUGH MATH.

I have watched every episode of One Piece, starting in the 7th grade. There have been 600 episodes.

I plan my Halloween costumes 2 months out in advance - this year it shall be a steampunk plague doctor. Yes, there shall be pictures.

MaiLinna

I don't honestly know what category I fall under, but my IGN is MaiLinna. I'll play anything but ADC. I have every Ahri and Riven skin, and if I had gotten in on time I would have Silent Night to complete my Sona collection.

If any of this is making sense to you, add me. See you in the Fields of Justice!

Me and steam aren't talking right now :sad:

I love love love this post. I could always use more nerdy and geeky friends. I'm 31, a Scifi nut (books, shows, movies, etc.), PhD (Criminology, Law & Society with my MA in Forensic Psych) student, statistics lover in DC. I can't live without Dr. Who or Batman or the deliciously crappy Scifi movies. My boyfriend is getting me to play video games as well. Feel free to add me or message. I love to chat (a bit too much).
