    Epic nerd here. Born and bred trekkie, studyholic, gamer (Guild Wars 2 anyone!? It's amazing!), electronic musician, programmer, graphics designer, web designer, history nut, neurology nut, physics nut, astronomy nut, shiro lolita at cons, crazy cat and snake lady :P I'm not really the fangirl type of nerd, more the "You couldn't stop me from studying and learning new things if you tied me to a chair in a dark room" kind of nerd :P

    Fellow nerds feel free to add me!

    Does being a psychology/hockey/book nerd who's currently maintaining as opposed to dieting count? If so, I'm in.

    I am a professional nerd! I travel around to sci-fi/fantasy/anime/comic cons all over the south east (and sometimes beyond!) selling my handmade jewelry and costumes to make my living. My work uniform consists of extra long elf ears and raver gear :P

    NERDS FTW!!!

    Yup.

    I play wow, swtor, guildwars, diablo and rift.

    I love Terry Practchett, Eureka and star trek.

    I could go on, but then I would start boring even other nerds....:laugh:

    I love that - not a fangirl nerd either though a fan of lots of the cultural touchstones mentioned here (currently jittery to get my kids in bed so husband and I can watch Dr. Who in peace). No,I am a research and knowledge nerd. I wanna know it all and try it all.

    I don't get to wear a cool uniform for my job... but I do get to tell all sorts of people about the ins and outs of mental illnesses and possible causes, etc. - which I consider to be fun. A semi-pro nerd!

    I'm also at home at 11:30 on a Saturday night. I think those two things alone qualify me as nerd material.

    Um...sorry. Warehouse 13 is still on--I know, because every Tuesday I watch it via the interwebs. I'm born geeky. Helped my sister plan menus and costumes for her "10 forward lounge" theme 16th birthday when I was twelve. Understand all the references above, love "Red Dwarf" took AP Chem as an ELECTIVE my senior year in HS because I hadn't taken a science the year before, my husband has a PhD in Astronomy and I am the world sorest loser at Scrabble. Also I scored: 64.76015% on the original geek test. http://www.innergeek.us/geek-test.html

    Yes its the last series of warehouse 13..there is to be no more, its been axed. Although I will more than happy if I am wrong..which I could be because I dont always believe what i read on the internet...and it piled up the awards this year so...will be chuffed if they renew for another season!

    Interesting...I mean...if you've "got someone on the inside" as it were with Syfy, or the production people at Warehouse 13, then you would know. But Season 4 is on *right now*, and scouring the internet, gets me nothing on Season 5 cancellation--and as you said it raked in the "Portal Awards" this year. So unless you're going off everyone's vague speculation that Syfy almost never let's shows go beyond season 5 (which would be next year), you're just causing unnecessary nerd panic. LOL! But, ya know, clearly we're nerds that we're willing to argue about renewal of our favorite shows. :D

    But for what it's worth, Warehouse 13 fans, there really isn't any way to substantiate the claim of cancellation, at least not at this time.

    Also, feel free to friend me in all my nerdy/geeky goodness. I'll be kind I swear.

    <--- 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).

    The world is a much more sad place, since they axed Firefly and Eureka...and warehouse13 too...why do the kill all the decent stuff!


    I just started to watch Warehouse recently. I love it, sad to hear they're axing it

    Yay! And by nerd/geek I do mean more of the sci-fi, fantasy, video games, comic books, ect <.< But their are also the literary nerds or political nerds, and whatever ^^ I tend to like anyone who associates with the word.

    I'm a political nerd. And a regular nerd. I like comic books, Star Wars, Star Trek, anime, sci fi, video games, cosplay, and all kinds of other stuff. Doing cosplay is one of my biggest reasons for wanting to lose weight.

    I'm a huge information nerd as well. Right now I'm in college, double majoring in Social Science Education and Political Science because I couldn't choose between the two. I really want go back to major in ASL, and then again to major in Philosophy, and maybe once more for Biology. Oh, so many things I want to do! And so much potential loan deferment!

    Hence my edit, because I sat and tried to remember where I had read that it was ending, and I have a vague notion that it was in a forum..so totally unsubstantiated...my deepest apologies for all panic caused :flowerforyou:
