    I am ashamed to say that I do not feel I qualify as a geek. I did however marry one and tend to keep them around... almost exclusively. I like geeks a lot. Hubbs says I am one, but I don't know enough about any of my geeky likes to feel I can really claim that flag.

    I like to think that I appreciate geek and nerd culture - but not quite one myself. I speak the language, I appreciate the customs, but it's not a perfect fit.

    That being said, I gain instant cred when I say I've read all of WoT, the Watchman and Dune.

    I have a pint glass in my cabinet that says "The Prancing Pony Pub"

    Love Lord of the Rings, no shame at all! :)

    I live in the Barony of Stargate in Kingdom of Ansteorra. In Stargate, I go to their rapier practises.
    Even though I live in Stargate I also go to the Barony of Loch-Soilleir's Art& Sciences events and Rapier practices too.

    I was wondering if there was anyone here that's with the SCA?

    - Played video games since I could pick up a controller
    - Spent a large part of my teen years playing D&D, or other tabletop games
    - Spent the other part of my teen years reading scifi/fantasy
    - I could probably shred at least 85% of people in trivia based games
    - Favorite author is Robert A. Heinlein
    - I've really become quite a Whovian since the middle-end of the 10th
    - Absolutely love learning anything, and everything about the universe, stars, and matter
    - I have a Physics degree
    - I also have a Math degree
    - An elegant mathematical equation/solution is just as, if not more, beautiful to me than amazing works of art.

    If I didn't have bills and responsibilities, I would quit what I'm doing to go back to my old job at my childhood comic book store where I was paid under the table, and most of the time it was traded for books.

    I use to collect comics and play magic. I have a degree in computers, I play video games and have memorized too many Monty Python movies for my own good

    These were taken at Planet Comic Con in KC March 2015. Boba Fett handed me his weapon and I responded "THe Doctor doesn't like guns. I have my trusty Sonic Screwdriver!" :blush:

    PS: I know the Doctor has used guns in Classic Who but he seems to dislike them in New Who except for a water pistol lmao!

    I absolutely love mysteries, whether it's like myth-busters or the paranormal etc. I love Batman and Spiderman too, the other superhero movies can leave. :p
