    I probably qualify as a geeky nerd. But I'm a picky geeky nerd.

    X Philer pro here, Whovian, ex-cosplayer, Fringe-fan, sci-fi obsesser, X men-fanatic, and a long long etc.

    I even own a T-shirt with the text "I'm a nerd and I only reproduce with my own kind" (in spanish tho). So.. yeah, nerd and proud! :P

    Fell free to add me. I currently playing lol and wow most of the time, but still need to play portal. I am also a fan of dr. who, star trek, star wars, family guy, various animes, sci fi shows, and anything else I can't remember at the moment. I am currently majoring in game design at my community college but unsure what I want to do career wise at the moment.

    I'm an engineer and I also track my weight in a spreadsheet with a regression line to extrapolate future weight loss.

    I am a bit nerdy. I confess, I play D&D with my fiance. For Christmas, I bought him a piggy bank that is a bust of his favorite comic book character. I love Firefly, and Battlestar Galactica (we actually started dating when he brought those over.) I am looking to build him a Dr. Who bookcase. We are obsessed with our cat, and talk to him all the time.

    That is so awesome. I am nerdy, but I am not a genius nerd like you.

    Wow, this seems to be a burner topic. Looks like a decent slice of the whole community is somehow nerdy/geeky.

    As a web developer for a living, I qualify too I guess :)

    (oh and I got the tribble hedgehog thing, cool stuff! We have a tribble laying around in our office lol)

    I guess after reading a few of these replys I would fit into the category of nerd, although I have NEVER considered myself one. I like comics, Buffy, Angel, Sci Fi, Neil Gaiman, Joss Whedan, Halo etc etc

    I have this on one arm, and 5 Lord of the Rings themed tattoos on the other arm. I think that gets me nerd status. :)

    <--- 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!

    Warehouse 13 hasn't been axed...it's currently running this season. Oh, and Haven is coming back, finally, on the 21st...WOO!

    Oh, as to me, I'm definitely a nerd/geek. Just joined MFP a couple weeks ago.

    Was part of DragonCon staff til this year - sadly couldn't attend due to injuries. Am anti-zombie (the only good zombie is a truly *dead* zombie.)

    I enjoy card games: Munchkin - most varieties, and Cards Against Humanity. Board games: Settlers of Cataan

    RPG: D&D, 2nd ed, 4th, and working on 5th (which is going by a new name...but "no comment" heh :wink: )

    I love ren faires, and my first reason in my profile for losing weight: to get back into the corset I purchased last May at the Georgia Ren Faire.

    I live in a house of SF/F literature readers, but am currently into John Ringo's books. I like a lot of military SF :smile:

    Database applications developer/admin here - nerdy as can be. "Nerd" is a term of endearment!

    Yes this mistake has been apologised for already... yes I know its running, I watch it, not that its currently running means anything. Eureka was axed before they ran the last series... which was sad but at least they got to round it off with an ending rather than leave you with cliffhanger then never get to come back.

    I'd LOVE to fit into ANY of the FF Costumes for Halloween :)

    Alternatively, being a Draenei wouldn't be bad at all!

    My error and good point. Browncoats forever!

    We were very disappointed with how they ended Eureka...and hearing Wil Wheaton explaining how *he* found out was especially frustrating (he found out from the fans!)

    The downside of not going to DragonCon this year: I can't visit the Guests...especially the folks of Eureka...but I'm sure there are plenty of folks showing them the love in my absence. It just feels like part of the "geek family" was cut out :sad:

    I have several level 85's on World of Warcraft. If I put as much effort into my weightloss achievements as I did my ingame achievements, I might night not be here right now...LOL. So ya...nerd I am....:wink: t

    I probably qualify, big WoW/Guild Wars MMO gamer, huge into Zelda (went to the symphony, fantastic!), spent the past 2 weekends at Renn Faires and was at a different one a few weeks back. I tend to be more fantasy geek than sci fi but I can appreciate that too!
