    Love Star Wars, Marvel Comics, D&D, Magic the Gathering, DBZ and console/PC gaming.

    I've been told I'm losing my nerdiness/geekiness as I spend more time in the gym playing sport though >.<

    I started feeling this way too. I restored it by wearing a Flash shirt while running. No word of a lie, more people stared than usual :tongue:
    Like no one's ever met a sports nerd?!
    Latest lycra stuff, latest water bottle............

    How about cardio dressed as Aragorn and waving a sword about to dramatic music?

    Well now that's just a win.... I'm a DC fan though, and I have strongly contemplated jogging in a full Flash outfit next Halloween.

    Sargent Nerd reporting for duty!

    I love both Star Wars and Star Trek for different reasons!

    I find myself wishing I had a walking talking Bumble Bee as my friend and transportation!

    I sometimes dream of worlds far far away!

    On my desk at work there lives Yoda, Dexter Morgan, Darth Vader, and Chris and Peter Griffin.

    Edit: The last Harry Potter film came out on my 18th birthday and I got so excited that I actually forgot. And I cried as soon as the logo came on screen... So that might be a little "nerdy" or at least an over-dramatic fangirl. :blushing:
    No, that's just sad. :laugh:

    Aerospace engineer in structural analysis (went into it because it was challenge, not because I was necessarily good at it), LARPer and belly dancer on hold, former D & D gamer, still have my mini, Firefly rules, married to an engineer, curio shelf full of dragons & wizards, books (were) organized in catergories and sci-fi/fantasy took up one bookcase on their own, read Moby **** in 7th grade because I was told I couldn't, read LOTR several times in high school, introvert/socially inept, clutz, suduko and kenken before it was popular and crosswords in ink. Geek out over many many things. Obviously I could keep going but need to be back to work.

    But you should see my friends in the UK ... I just couldn't get into the whole Dungeons And Dragons thing, now these guys live nerd, I just hover around the nerdy edges, relatively ;)

    I think nerd fringe is where it is at :)

    Yep...nerd card revoked! I have been watching since I was a kid and was so happy when the show came back. I am a Whovian and proud. I am hopefully going to D*Con as the 4th Doctor and my daughter is going as a weeping angel. You have got to start watching the series.

    As much as I usually try to deny the fact, I am a nerd. I'm a computer scientist who can write iOS apps, Android apps, web pages, and much more. I know quite a few languages (C, C#, C++, Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, Assembly, Shell Script, whatever the one for the Arduino is called, probably a few I forgot). Also have a TI robot, Arduino, Netduino, built a quadricoptor, etc. Oh, and built my computer which is quite a beast and water cooled. Unitl I get a new car last year, my computer was worth more than my car was :ohwell: Also love Harry Potter and LOTR. Oh, and I play a lot of games: Skyrim and Borderlands are my two top runners (well minus COD and Battlefield). I also used to play WoW, SWTOR, and Rift.

    Yep, pretty sure I can no longer deny being a nerd. Should of known that would happen when I went into computer science. :frown:

    I'm studying Japanese so I can move to Japan: Land of the Otaku. I started playing video games on the Atari and have had pretty much every console and handheld system. Aside from learning Japanese, my free time is spent playing video games, watching the summer lineup of anime and reading manga. My two favorite movies of all-time are Spaceballs and Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail.

    My computer is still worth more than my truck and was used by WETA DIGITAL to design the special effects for LOTR.

    I just finished setting up another Virtual LAMP stack WebDev Server for testing purposes.

    In Elementary School I designed and bread boarded a circuit to count up from zero in Binary and display the numeric sequence in binary, hex and decimal with individual LED's.

    Misplaced my pocket protector and slide rule in 1978. Built my first computer from a bag of components (ie. soldered resistors, & transistors to the motherboard. Yup, I might be a Geek!

    I'm not a nerd, I'm no way near good enough at maths or science for that.

    I AM, however, a geek. A massive one.

    ^^^THIS^^^ Sorry to tell you guys but geeks are so much cooler than nerds. Peculiar idiosyncratic behavior without all the social awkwardness. Love you guys though because without there would never been Atari, LOTR, Star Trek (Trekkie here) or Star Wars, and a bunch of cool mathematical equations (someone just drooled I'm sure), Facebook, and smart phones. You guys make the world turn...not literally of course...RIGHT?:indifferent:
