    Female nerd here. I love computers. Been in IT many years. It's funny I've worked in gaming etc. but don't really play any of them.

    I wish I could be friends with all of you!

    I am a high school math teacher. We got new books for the coming school year. I spent a lot of summer break working the problem in the book. I LOVE Pythagorean triples, constructions and proofs.

    I have six spreadsheets open right now. Budget (no explanation needed), table (tracks weight, inches lost, steps taken, etc), Child support, count (I am 16,986 days old), car (I drive an average of 7 miles per day, Body Beast.

    I watch Big Bang reruns almost every day. I'll read ANYTHING.

    My first gaming system was the Odyssey. I was a beast at hand ball.

    I bought horn rim glasses this summer instead of the trendy rimless.

    I am married to a band director. My daughter is a band director. My son is a linguistics major who is in the marching band.

    My closet is arranged in rainbow order.

    I am very uncoordinated.

    I love to make lists (obviously)!

    Feel free to friend me.

    Old nerd...started working with computers at age 8, worked in the industry for ten years, B5, Dr Who, Sherlock Holmes, and, even after becoming a first grade teacher, the entire school staff knows to come to me with computer problems before emailing the help desk. Word to the nerds!

    Nerd, though not gamer here.

    I worked at Renaissance Festivals for 7 years, making my own costumes, and played text based MUDs online growing up! Love fantasy books, Joss Whedon, and Big Bang Theory! I want to get into Steampunk, but I travel too much for work to do anything with it. :( Marine biologist, so I have my fair share of excel spreadsheets, and I weigh myself every day so I have more data points! (Is that weird? :D)

    I have always been a geek, IT professional, Table Top Gamer/DM, Avid Sci-Fi/Fantasy reader, you name it.

    I was recently called a jock and I was all like Heeeyyyyyyy!!!

    It hurt me to admit that perhaps the description is now accurate. Growing up Geeks and Jocks were the Hattfields and McCoys

    Enginerd and Math and Science Nerd here. Much more of a nerd than a geek though, no comic books, no MMORPGs, and not a Whovian. Most of you are more geek than nerd :tongue:

    ETA: Nerd battle!

    Mmm.. nerds.. I have to say, nerdy guys are my "type"... mostly because they have respectable IQs and I like to make them cry when I outplay them in video games. ;)

    Hello! Everyone should embrace their inner geek! While I'm not a techie I work in Tech so it's great to get involved in the new stuff - got a bit techie in a meeting the other day and I ended up going over to work with a few developers for a bit - heaven!

    Nerds!!!! <3<3

    I get irritated with my husband when he asks if an additional hard drive means he has to reinstall all his games onto the new one (because apparently you can only use 1 hard drive at a time?) -- or puts everything... EVERYTHING... on his desktop. Everything he downloads. Everything he installs. It's all on the desktop.

    I end up teaching tech support. I only call them when it's a hardware issue I can't do anything about. They usually come down, fail miserably, and I do it all myself while telling them what I'm doing. And my husband wonders why I wait with dread for the "support" to come knocking on the door...

    So yeah. I'm a nerd. I think. ;) I like games, computers, RPG (tabletop FTW), nerdy goodness like The Big Bang Theory of course... Anime too. Love it all!

    I've been called a nerd just for the sole fact I am obsessed with Bruce Campbell and B horror as well as Star Wars and sci-fi. Sigh. If that makes me a nerd, I accept.
