I buy books instead of using my Kindle because I like the smell.

My Nook is for watching Netflix/Hulu on the treadmill (Merlin is my current treadmill show). The last few nights, I've been reading H.P. Lovecraft stories to my daughter. The book is a hardcover, leather bound edition. Before we start reading, I spend about a minute smelling the book. It smells amazing.

Oh, good, so you're burning calories both physically and emotionally, then! lol. That show KILLS me. Colin Morgan's sad face is like nine billion people kicking puppies. :sad:

You asked for it:
Love SciFi--except for wrestling, that's just silly. I love Lost Girl, Being Human, TruBlood (was reading the books long before the series and have the next/last Sookie Stackhouse on preorder), Have complete Buffy/Angel series. Was watching StarTrek tng tonight on BBC. Warehouse 13 is cool. I loved Eureka. Big Bang Theory rocks it (most of the time, i even get the stuff on the whiteboards) Have all original Star Treks. Have all Star Wars pics, but wasn't impressed with the last film. Loved the Dark Knight series.

More of a horror/scifi than a superhero fan.

Built my own pc like, 10 years ago. You know, because i could. I know most of the periodic chart by heart. I can do complicated formulas in my head. I blew up the laundry room with my chemistry set when i was 9.

I wear glasses and keep my hair in braids most of the time. and i wear black because it's always appropriate and goes with everything--and have long before i heard of Ian Malcom. I spent half my life explaining quantum theory to my family and friends.

I'd tell you more, but the rest is private and i'm a bit introverted. But i think you get the picture.

I wouldn't say I'm a nerd, possibly a geek, but here we go. Also I'm not going to make this into paragraphs so WALL OF TEXT TIME :>. I lovvveeeeeeeeeee Buffy with everything in me. I read all of season 8 and started on season 9 but they upped the price of the phone comic packs (Darkhorse has an app where you can buy them digitally and download them on your phone) so I can't afford them, I have to wait until they go on sale. I've seen mostly everything Joss Whedon has done but with the exception of Buffy and 3 and a half seasons of Angel I'm pretty meh about it all. I do think Dollhouse could have been great if the network gave it time, though. I'm reading A Song of Ice and Fire but it's taking me forever. I'm 10% through book 5 and I started the series over a year ago :glasses: . I reallllllly like the Dragon Age games, but mostly because you can you can make choices that influence everything and the romance . I also play WoW on and off but I get bored with it. I've been playing since Vanilla but it lost it's allure with me when Cataclysm came out. I'm also one of the 10 people who played Age of Conan and SWTOR but I hated both once they went F2P. The only anime I ever really got into was Slayers and I still like it, I've read all the manga that has been translated to English and the first 8 books too. Oh also I started Watchmen, the comic, but I stopped about 60% into it. Hopefully once I finaaaallllly finish A Dance With Dragons next year I'll pick it up again.

Those are just to name a few. I also married a computer programmer who puts my nerd to shame.

My hubby is a software development manager, he also puts my nerd to shame. Don't tell him but I am enjoying the play by post D&D he has me doing.

It's our little secret I don't let my hubby talk me into participating in nerd activities together. Every time he gets me hooked on a game, he stops playing it after a month or 2 and then I have no one to play with and it isn't as fun anymore.

Mine does the same thing only he plays for like 6 months and I am totally hooked by the point that he is done :grumble:

I have the original Atari from 1982 with all the games.

Very late to this thread but . . . it started with those awesome "choose your own adventure" fantasy books where you would have to choose between two possible paths and go to the corresponding page. When all my friends were reading Sweet Valley High I was into Piers Anthony, the Star Trek books and anything Tolkein.
I have gone on to indoctrinate my children to the point where my oldest daughter actively chooses to watch the original Star Wars trilogy in her down time and was very frustrated that I would not cut her hair to look like Luke Skywalker for Halloween. She ended up choosing Wonder Woman anyway

Remember when being a nerd was a bad thing? I dont watch a lot of TV and movies, but my screen name is an homage to my love of fruit flies.

Nice to see some real nerds.

And imma gonna cause some controversy here but watching some TV shows, reading a few books, and collecting things a nerd does not make probably closer to dork, but a true nerd can derive or tell you the periodic table from A-Z just saying but if you carry the nerd card youve earned it via a few wedgies or egging.

You know what, fruit fly guy, I think I have to agree with you. I don't think there are too many true nerds on here, just people with some mildly-geeky tendencies. And that includes myself. I was going to post a thread called "nerdier than thou" for this very reason. I wanted to come off nerdier, because I see everyone loving The Avengers and Thor and Iron Man and all of these marvel comic MOVIES (and, in some cases, actual comics) and I don't think that too nerdy. I teach high school and every kid loves these movies and wears clothes, possesses binders, doodles in their notes, images from these movies. They actually couldn't be more in vogue right now, which is not very nerdy.

But, I took a close look at myself, and came to the same conclusions. I've got some geeky lit / video game / movie / music tendencies, but I am far from true nerd. Cheers to you, person who knows the latin words for fruit fly and periodic table derivations!

While watching "Wreck-it Ralph", I paused the movie to so I could name all of the villains at the bad guy anon meeting

IMO, there's different types of nerds. Comic Nerds. Movie Nerds. Science Nerds. Geology Nerds. Space Nerds.

JustinAnimal

True, I just don't think people who watch super high-grossing films about comic books really qualifies as a nerd. And if you started reading the comics after the movies came out, I'd doubt your level of dedication to being a comic nerd. I just think there should be boundaries here! Jk, I know I'm overthinking this.

In the world of nerddom, I'd say I'm a level 37 palladin of literature, film, music and trivia. There.

I didn't get into comics until after the movies and I'm sure there are others like me. It's hard to know where to start, where to go and so on when comics have been around years. But I have a pull list now, I expanded outside of the movie characters, I support various comic related kickstarters. Just the other day I spent $50 at my local comic shop. Plus being a woman, it feels a little harder to get accepted. I was very nervous about going into a shop for the first time but Matt Fraction told me via twitter to basically screw the haters and I did.

Indeed. I am more a sci-fi nerd with a little video game in there and a hint of supernatural! :bigsmile:

Damn!!!! Im good

If you want some comic street cred, while still checking out some awesome titles, I'd read all 10 issues of Preacher (when time and money allows), Watchmen (way better than the movie), V for Vendetta (ditto) and any of Frank Miller's Sin City stuff. Just my personal opinion. Neil Gaiman's Sandman is also awesome, especially if you're into art. I can't remember his name, but the guy who used to draw all of the final fantasy concept art did a whole Sandman issue.

Anyway, sorry for coming off as a hater. You're all nerd in my book.

I have WWE action figures in my office and saw RAW live in august. I own CM Punk shirts too.

I have read all of the Walking Dead comics and I've seen every episode. I also have a Walking Dead t shirt.

I LOVE the youtube series Marble Hornets. So happy they are making a movie. And I have a shirt for this too.

And I am crazy for books. I love to read.

We actually own a Dr. Who Tardis mug and cookie jar, a miniature motorized desktop Dalek and the newest arrival -- a sonic screwdriver universal remote control. Sure -- it's my husband that orders all this fluff but I am the one that programmed the screwdriver cause he couldn't figure out the instructions. It's kind of fun actually. We have also watched and enjoyed all incarnations of Star Trek and have some of that memorabilia around here too. I'm sure there's more but that's what comes to mind. Does Grimm count as geeky....we love that show too and the upcoming episode is definitely designed for geeks with the gamer aspect. Oh and I underwent Jedi training at Cub Scout summer camp when my son was in 3rd grade. Lots of fun!
