    I love books although my wife hogs the kindle(Wheel of Time, Game of Thrones, Ender's Game)
    I love Doctor Who (only half way through the first Matt Smith season, No Spoilers, but I've watched some Tom Baker episodes too)

    Also, I have 2 cats and 3 dogs.

    You listed "Sci Fi", yet you didn't include Battlestar Galactica.



    This friendship would have never worked.
    That and I dislike cats. Was so close to winning over a new friend.

    I'm going to assume that the majority of you in this thread have seen the Princess Bride. I went to a wedding in September and the bride's sister started her toast as follows:


    "Mawwiage...is what bwings us togethaaa."

    That was just one highlight of the evening xD

    Males are invited as well! I reeeeeeeally want to read Wheel of Time and Ender's game. But first, I'm still reading Clash of Kings and Mort (Discworld series).

    But just LOOK at my cat in my ticker...His facial expression there is the reason why I named him Wonka (totally reminiscent of the Condescending Willy Wonka meme)

    found this joke on tumblr:


    John Barrowman and Nathan Fillion walk into a bar.

    And every other man goes home without a date.

    I read all the Game of Thrones books and watched Season 1 of Game of Thrones, but I stopped because I refuse to relive the frustration and pain of liking my favorite characters only to have stuff happen.

    Ooh and comics... DC, Marvel, anything ;)

    Just not much of a gamer - don't have the time...

    Me too! I could hear it in the other room and had to leave the house. Now my boss has 'discovered' GoT and I'm having to relive it all over again. I warned her, do NOT get attached to anyone.

    Used to be real active, moved across the country and got a smidge geeky. Now I'm trying to get the active back while keeping my geek on. Loved the Night Angel Tril, preferred the Alvin Maker series to Ender's Game (though the 1st ender book was good), WoW, Dark Tower, BBC Sherlock, (some of you are going to write me off in 3..2..1..) couldn't get into Who and can't stand T.Pratchett. Loved Firefly!! Can't help but squee a little when bits of Firefly leak into Castle (2x2, hands of blue), more quilting than knitting/crocheting etc Happy to find other active alts.

    Love horror and scifi. I bought a black Borg brand scale, I compared various new and vintage models to pics of the Borg and bought the one that looked the most Borgish to me. It makes me happy every time I weigh myself. I am getting my exercise this weekend selling sci-fi and horror t-shirts at the Emerald City Comicon. I can't say mostly without saying it a second time. Mostly. Sometimes I let some one else add the second one. Not real big on gaming, mainly because I'm not good at it, but I wish I still had my Atari, and maybe an old Sega system, I'm currently rocking a PS1 that everyone makes fun of. I also like to play Oh no... Zombies!
