    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.

    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!

    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'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!

    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.

    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:

    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.

    Hee hee, this is why I love my Starfleet uniform - Tasha Ya, Capt Janeway, Deanna Troi, Jadzea Dax all look sexy and confident in pantsuits, IMO.

    because that's me at 155 pounds and my goal weight is 120 ish :( I probably won't be able to bring it in any because of where the stripes are

    and thanks :)

    Considering I just finished watching a classic Tom Baker Doctor Who, exercise every day while watching MLP:FiM, and I'm getting fit so I can start cosplaying again....yeah, I'd say I'm a nerd.

    I'm also fairly new and looking for new friends--feel free to friend me, nerdy comrades! :-)

    Started playing Dnd since there was an A before it. Back when elf was a class (the blue box). Avid tabletop and PC gamer, still have my Magic:The Gathering sets dating back to Arabian Nights, played everything from 7th Sea to L5R.
    One of the few who has an equal love for both Trek and Wars, grew up with Stan Lee teaching me how to read, and I've attended the big 3 conventions (Origins, GenCon, and Winter Fantasy).
    So, yeah, I may be a bit of a nerd. :)
