    My real job is me being Darth Vader, little do you all know my twin brother is the one that died because the force is not strong with him. i am currently re-building MY death star, i believe you all refer to it as the space station. Once it is complete I shall be recruting. Join me and together we can concur the galaxy

    My 22nd bday party was a star wars themed party - in which I made all my friends dress up or they couldn't come. We served Wookie Cookies, Han Burgers, Light Saber fries, and Yoda Soda. My friend wrote a song about me being a Jed. We spent the night playing video games.....

    this is a normal thing for me XD

    I love Warehouse 13! And I miss Eureka. *sigh*

    I was a big D&D person for the longest time (my group broke up and I haven't found another). I read The Lord of the Rings for the first time around age 9 and have read it many times since (takes me about a day and a half). I also read it aloud to my kids when they were in elementary school.

    I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy, can't miss Girl Genius (www.girlgeniusonline.com) every MWF, and have Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. I haven't played WoW because I'm not sure I really have the time, but it sounds like fun.

    I like science. Math, not so much.

    Yess Eureka was pretty awesome too!. Its kinda cool they way Warehouse 13 and Eureka crossover in a cpople of early WH13 episodes!

    @BEERRUNNER -too funny-The only reason I clicked on this feed is because I also went on a Warehouse 13 Binge-and I generally don't even like SyFy! You know it's bad when you start thinking of your phone as your Farnsworth and you start thinking of all kinds of real world objects as artifacts. You know...the violin player's ACTUAL violin from The Titanic will soon be up for auction. Oh, the possibilities!

    I've actually considered auditioning for King of the Nerds. Stephen Moffat has killed my heart ninety million times. Joss Whedon has utterly destroyed my emotions with every project he takes on. SyFy channel: Face Off, any B Creature Feature, especially Sharktopus. History Channel: All of it. BBC: Merlin, Sherlock, Being Human, Robin Hood, Doctor Who. Premium TV: Game of Thrones, Spartacus. Comic books: All of Captain America, the Avengers (all arcs, but most especially digging Uncanny), Aquaman, Injustice, Lady Mechanika, Justice League Dark - the list goes on forever. Firefly. Star Wars. Lord of the Rings. HUGEST Harry Potter nerd in the world. Star Trek (tv series, looking forward to the new one). Reading: Everything. All of it. Any words. I'm an author of high end science fiction and fantasy. I'm a grammar nazi. Currently hanging in my bedroom is a gigantic picture of Bilbo Baggins. I follow NASA blogs and science blogs.

    I laugh at chemistry cat on a daily basis.

    Total nerd over here.

    oh - and my 95,000 characters on World of Warcraft. XD

    I have a beer tattoo, four star wars t-shirts, an unhealthy obsession with greek / norse / celtic mythology (Njal's saga sitting in my bathroom right now), a room with SNES / N64 / PS2 / gameboy, and a glow-in-the-dark octopus being attacked by little scubadiver frogmen.

    I'm also totally naked right now, except for my homemade, squirrel-skin loincloth, practicing my conan the barbarian-esque grunts and howls, swinging a 20" kukri knife about the room. But I don't consider myself nerdy. Just special.

    I once got second place in a statewide chess tournament.

    I once owned thousands of star wars and magic the gathering cards.

    I am going to graduate school for a field that basically amounts to fighting back against computer hackers.

    what ya got!?!?!

    I'm a video game developer. I'm expert level at nerdy.

    My devices are named things like HAL, and Bishop.

    I make beer, and will spend this summer, if time works out, trying to crossbreed two different strains of yeast for brewing use.

    When I do normal stuff like curing meats, I go overboard and research the hell out of it to find the most archaic, artisinal method to do it, so I can geek out on the information available, or lack of information, which allows me to experiment in a semi-controlled uncontrolled manner.

    I don't really play video games anymore though. Go figure. ;)

    ETA - oh and i'm drawing up plans for the creation of a long range quad rotor copter with long range capability and a packet sender that will give me a real time feed from the two mounted cameras, one regular, one IR. I'll be using it out in the mountains to scout locations for this fall's deer hunt, if I can get it done in time.

    Dr. Who theme song is my ring tone... I've watched all the new seasons that are on Netflix, twice. And am working thru the classics now.
    And Firefly is awesome.

    I still have my massive star wars collection from when I was a kid sitting in my office and I still pick stuff up all the time to add to it.

    Hmm.

    As for television/film, I absolutely adore The X-Files, Star Trek: TOS, MST3K, The Twilight Zone, old sci-fi movies (and the awfully wonderful CGI travesties they play on SyFy).

    And video games-- the Final Fantasy series (and most other RPGs) is near and dear to my heart, as is Metal Gear Solid 1-3.

    Bookwise, I'm not really into comic books. I do like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, most of Asimov's work, Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut, authors like that. Next in my reading list is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In addition to fiction, I gobble up non-fiction books all the time. Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan are incredible authors. /dreamy sigh

    Is that nerdy?

    Will RPGs get any better than SNES RPGs? Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, FFIII, Earthbound?!?!?!?

    Bummer about the comics. The first two league of extraordinary gentleman are nuts (but I'm an English teacher, so maybe it's just me) and the Slaine series is my absolute favorite (based on celtic mythology). You will LOVE hitchhiker's guide, but a ton of the jokes are about grammar and other things English dorks might find interesting. I hope you enjoy it!

    Oh that reminds me.
    My cell phone ringtone is the Legend of Zelda overworld theme.
    My text message received sound is the Legend of Zelda "Item Acquired" sfx.
