Oh boy. Are there limits to how long a post can be?

1. Comic book nerd since I was a kid. Now they're all popular movies. Growing up you'd take a nice beating for reading comics.

2. I was big into LOST. To the point where I joined a forum, got banned, and my friends from that forum started our own forum. That's some hardcore geekery there.

3. Degree in Theater. That's geeky.

4. I'm a skeptic/atheist. I don't know if you've ever met the type but I have and believe me, we're not talking about prom kings here.

5. I love watching NOVA science programs or anything hosted by Carl Sagan.

6. I spent a long time as a stand-up comic. It may sound cool to you, but the only way to tell a funny joke onstage is to spend your formative years as a geek getting the crap beat out of you. And the profession is nothing but geeks who learned how to tell a joke to keep from getting hit.


Well guess I don't need to worry about finding my name in the MFP crushes thread...

OMG I love this thread and everyone's openness and answers!!!

Let's see here. What makes me geeky?

*I have worked on numerous studies and did data analysis for two years of my life for the Arizona Meth Project. All I did was use SPSS (think Excel, but like... 100 million times stronger) and move around numbers in the matrix.

*Love Lord of the Rings- If I happen to watch 2 or 3 because it's on at a friends, I have to go back and watch 1... then if I watch 1, I might as well watch 2... and if I watched 1 and 2 then I HAVE to watch 3 to wrap it up, right? :embarassed: LOL Have spent more than one weekend watching them ALL with various people...

*I LOVE TWIN PEAKS and have had Twin Peaks parties!

*I LOVE STEVE MARTIN. I own everything he has done and when listening to an audio of him reading Born Standing Up, was reading along... HAPPILY!

*My best friend and husband and I have an accountability calender we all login to through google called: "Fellowship of the Shred"

*I love Wii! Mario (I saw somebody else on here, we should play Kart sometime) Kart and Mario and Donkey Kong are my games! I can also admit to playing Cooking Mama!

*Stupid games like Diner Dash, Cake Mania and other BS I have banned from my phone. As my husband says, "what a pointless game." LOL

*I am a dork for everything cats!

*I listen to nerdy podcasts and have gone to MaxFunCon (festival of everything awesome) twice! Podcasts like: The Nerdist, WTF with Marc Maron, Jordan Jesse Go, The Sound of Young America, Radiolab, This American Life, How Stuff Works, Jimmy Pardo.

*Jimmy Pardo, I have sent this comedian who works for Conan O'brien a care package before.

*With the above, I have pictures with all of them because I wasn't afraid to ask! LOL DORK! My favorite is with Pardo and John Hodgeman (the PC in the Mac commercials).

*I count calories and LOVE doing it!

*I can't wait for Batman! Have already looked at the leaks pics!

*I'm a cardio queen and most of my friend's know where to find me. IN WORKOUT CLOTHES!

*I LOVE EBAY. I sell and buy and am on Every. Day. Period.

*I go to the public library at least once a month and have for almost my entire life.

*I always smell a book before reading it. or sometimes if I just want to and am not going to buy it!

*I can't drink milk out of plastic! GROSS! Luckily for me, I don't drink milk anymore, but it's weird!

*I have popsicles in the house at all times! LOVE THEM! Living in AZ, it's a nice COLD treat!

OH MAN, I COULD GO ON AND ON. I'm a werido I guess! LOL

Oh and one last one... I LISTEN TO PSYCHOLOGY LECTURES FROM BERKLEY ... FOR FUN!

Thankilates

Oh and I've been to ComicCon a few times. Back when it wasn't as huge as it is now! No Twilight when I went, THANK GOODNESS!

I play on really old RPG games, like the old final fantasies and my sega mega drive :P

FoxWilkinson

I'm home!! LOL

I work in a local pewter store, and design crystal jewelry when it's not busy. I'm in school for Fashion Design and only have a year left til graduating. I love making my own clothing and costumes. I'm going to be right up there with DKNY and Gucci. My other half graduated last week with his second degree in 3-D game animation. I'm more closet gamer then him, but I still am pretty up there LOL.

I would say my biggest geeky interest is LARPing. I play NERO(New England Role-playing Organization), and it's basically a live action ren faire with hit points and weopons and magic users and amazing. There are NERO chapter all over the US, but only two up here in Canada. If any of you Ren Faire peeps are interest you could check out the site at www.nerolarp.com. There are different races, and classes, and a plot team to run the adventures for you. :)Sort of a real-life D&D. My main character is a Red Fox Scavenger. I dress up in leather armor, sort of a piratey feel to the outfit, and paint my face with orange and white theatre paint, and put on my hand made fox ears and tail. I use a 6 foot long polearm and swing 10 damage. Weapons are made from foam, PVC pipe, and duct/kite tape. My other character is a drow, and I own a white wig and lot of black face make-up. I'm thinking my next character will be a Gorbe, a large hunting cat meets human anthro style race. I'm thinking cheetah...

I used to play WOW, and I sometimes miss my 85 Blood Elf Warlock. I only have one 85 though, since I got bored often and built a new character every other week. My current on-line obsession in League of Legends. Summoner name is Xephyra, and I play with my boyfriend. I destroy face with Orianna!

Every Tuesday night I play 3.5 edition D&D. We wanted to try Pathfinder, but the players didn't have any of the books for it. Last session, our DM's random monster selection was a adolesent bronze dragon... and a level 2 party didn't stand up against it very well lol. We were on a ship, and are only a fighter/rogue with a bow(me), a bard, a monk, a druid with a wolf, and a dwarven fighter. We need a cleric....

I also love RP games, like Oblivion, most Final Fantasy's, and Fable.

I can't remember anything else right now, so I think I'll end with that...
