    Nerd/geek here as well. Long-time sysadmin (AIX/BSD/GNU-Linux, etc.), know the heck out of my Silmarillion content, big into sci-fi. Looks like we're pretty well represented here!

    Also -- been on here for a week and need to do the obligatory:

    Would a ren faire-attending, EQMac-grinding, classic D&D-playing, Tolkien-loving, Star Trek-obsessed 40-something year old be considered a nerd? Or a geek?

    I'm more of a math nerd... I'm an actuary and enjoy anything to do with math. I'm not really a sci fi person though. I still consider myself a nerd and most people do as well. I don't mind though.

    I cosplay, play video games and read comics. I still don't really think I'm a nerd, though.

    I always thought I was a geek. My husband calls me one :) I'm not a gamer, unless you count farmville rarely. I like some sci-fi but end up being bugged by all the parts that are wrong

    . I am an enthusiast of biology, geology and chemistry. I am not antisocial or absorbed by a hobby. I do spend too much time reading science stuff on the internet. I'm always reading, researching or explaining science.

    so geek?

    I like to think of myself as a Mario nerd. I can best anybody at any Mario Kart :) I have a passion for English and I wear the Grammar Nazi badge with pride. The second I got my goal weight, I'm either buying a TARDIS dress or a Xena costume. I tend to really enjoy esoteric feminist literature.

    Also, I use words like esoteric.

    <--- Honors student, Biotech major. Cats are named Zoidberg, Nibbler (he passed away), Leela, Bender, and Professor; the rumba is named Scruffy. The guinea pigs were named Cortana (from Halo), Tex (from RvB), Shippo, InuYash, Tweek (from South park), and Tali (from Mass Effect). I love FPS and RPGs. So, I fit into most categories of "nerd." If you are on XBOX live let me know.

    Edit: Favorite TV shows are Eureka, Firefly, Big Bang Theory, and Star Gate (SG1 and Atlantis).

    Yes! I am loving this thread. "If you're nerdy and you know it add me as a friend"

    Dr. Who, Star Trek, D & D, cult films, Robert Heinlein (If you love him to add me x2 :D), Think Geek, and... Seriously I could go on for days and days.

    I'm geektastic.

    I am known to watch Serenity, Firefly episodes, and other assorted sci-fi stuff on my tablet while siting at the bar. My laptops (plural) run Slackware Linux, and I have no less than four GPS devices on the dash of my truck. Does that make me a nerd or a geek??? :embarassed:

    I am a web developer and designer. I'm spending almost my entire weekend neck-deep in PHP, and then on Tuesday I'm going back to work in an ASP.net environment. My life is pretty consumed by programming and designing.

    At the moment, I'm pretty eagerly waiting the Doctor Who season 7 premiere. It aired at 6pm for me (I guess my BBCA is on east coast time), but I had to turn it off because I'm waiting for my boyfriend to get home so we can watch it together. We both love Sci-Fi.

    I'm also trying to lose weight to look hot at next year's nerdy conventions (Comic con, Wonder con, Comikaze expo, ect). I've never felt confident enough to cosplay, but I *really* want to!

    Other nerdy interests: Star Trek: TNG, MST3K, World of Warcraft, everything Batman.

    What? They killed Warehouse 13? Darn it! I'm tired of losing tv series after tv series. They keep leaving junk like Jersey Shore but the stuff we like...they kill it.

    I definitely count as a nerd. I love tv shows about technology. I grew up collecting comics. I know all the characters in Star Trek and Star Wars. I even made a costume (when I was skinny) like the uniforms in the original Star series and wore it on Halloween. I wish I could still fit in it. I am an avid Sci Fi reader. In college, I played AD&D, now not so much only because there aren't a lot of people here who play BUT I still do read comics. I like the graphic novels - enjoy the Wonder Woman ones particularly.

    Basically, I am a geek and proud of it. Heck, you know you're a geek when you're parents call you to fix their computer because "Something is wrong!". Grin.
