    I am a math geek married to a band geek. I have always hung out with geeks and nerds. In my most recent job change I started hanging out with the cool crowd. It lasted 5 years. They sucked the life out of me. I am back to hanging out with the geeks. What is so amazing is I was just I mean JUST talking to a fellow geek about it!

    I love Netflix, Geometry books, and exercise videos. I'd love to be friends with fellow geeks!

    PS I am not a bleeding heart liberal. I like to call myself TOLERANT!

    Any of the geeks on this thread want to add me then please do.

    I first picked up D&D basic and expert set in the 70's. Had no clue what it was. I still remember my brother running away from the 2 stirges that first attacked him... and then did the same with the skeletons...that was a lifetime ago... almost literally.

    Currently considering going to the LA convention next year as Hawkeye...considering...

    Trekkie, Steampunk Enthusiast, Stargate maniac, Marvel fangirl and there's no happier place for me than a Con!

    I actually told my hubby this week that I wanted to play D&D. My high school self is laughing her face off at 30 yrs old me but I'm happy.

    Edited to add to my geek cred.

    How do you feel about the new Star Trek movies?

    If you are wondering of my geek status, please feel free to consult my customized pony avatar and my Doctor Who ticker. I also enjoy anime (Black Butler was great, and I just want Funimation to get the licensing rights to the second half of the D. Gray-man series so it can be dubbed). I am also a nerd, if that helps, and if you don't know the difference, then I pity you.

    As soon as I saw your profile pic, I showed to my friend Paul. He's a Brony. :P

    Some of you amazing friends are far geekier than I.

    I bow down to your greatness, and hope to learn from you.

    Howdy!

    I'm geeky in my Whovian way. I love watching new things and meeting new friends. Plus, having friends on here always makes me want to do better. :]

    I'm Michelle. We can be buddies... I mean, if that's cool with you.

    Loves me some Batman but really any superheroes. I loved them from my childhood. Had a "Rogue streak" in my hair. Just wanted every episode of "Young Hercules" on Hulu Plus. Also a proud fur-mommy with no intentions of skin babies (?)...real babies just seemed really offensive to my boy. Add me!

    Feel free to add me <3 I'm more of a gamer kind of geek than anything else (especially PC games and more specifically, MMORPGs). I'd rather stay at home and play video games with my boyfriend than go out on a Friday night and I subscribe to Hulu Plus specifically for the Anime. :P

    Yeah, I don't need to steal my parent's Atari controller because I had my own. I guess that makes me an old geek :)

    I still have my Atari. :) And a Commodore 64. I'm a nerd and proud of it. :)

    Im more 'Trekkie' than 'Anime' but still think of myself as a geek :)

    Im into computer games like Street Fighter 2 and Assassins Creed (I'm not good at them, but I like them)

    The boyfriend has been dragging me into the world of anime... and whilst I find some very tedious, I have become hooked on some (Tenchi Muyo, DBZ and Bleach to name a few) :)

    Feel free to add me

    And good luck :)

    Add me if you want, just let me know it's from the geek thread. Let's see, I like anime, right now I'm watching Soul Eater and trying to figure out why I like the show so much, I watch a lot of documentaries. I love medieval history, geisha, animals, nature, ancient egypt, world religions, I'm a new Whovian, and right now there is whole missing in my life that was filled by Game of Thrones and Orphan Black. I'm working on reading Game of Thrones but working nights makes it hard. I'm rereading a book on Geisha, it's easier to pull away from at work than Game of Thrones. I also dabble in steampunk and love looking at cyberpunk and to a certain extent dieslepunk. Anyone know of any fun cyberpunk books? Back in the day I used to rock tabletop gaming. I never got to play D&D but I LOVED Scion and Shadowrun. eesh, I ramble. Add me if you want. ps, I think I'm allergic to cherries. I at 20 as a snack and now my mouth itches. lol

    My stats,
    Age: 27, but I don't really act it. Not that I'm immature I just don't feel "27"
    Height: 5'5"
    CW: 210ish...I kinda avoid scales
    GW: super sexy curvy and strong with the numbers falling where they may

    Hi,

    I'm a bit of a geek as well. Here I am in a nutshell: reading EVERYTHING, watching all Star Trek, Firefly, MST3K ( BF got me several boxed sets for my birthday.). Professional student. collecting vinyl (with an emphasis on Leonard Cohen and new wave). I'm also a ringer at bar trivia competitions.

    I'll send you a friend request. Anyone is free to add me! :)

    I'd rather spend my Friday nights curled up with my cat, Schmendrick (bonus points if you know where his name is from) watching a nature doc. than out with friends. I've seen every episode of Star Trek TNG and Voyager at least twice. I've also got an obsession with my Sims. I regularly quote lines from The Princess Bride. Does that count ? :) If you'd like to add me, please do.

    Oh I do I do! My favorite movie growing up... I still watch it whenever I can. (I actually posted something about it a few days ago). I also love Voyager, anything by Josh Whedon, and most recently Orphan Black.

    Now my geekiness is really confined to weekends when I can play League of Legends.

    I'd love to friend some more geeks....my initiation into Geek begin with the original Atari, then graduated to the Nintendo (NES), my first computer was a 386x (how's that for a time stamp??!?!?), I've dabbled in D&D, Magic, but my true passion is the computer games and sci-fi / fantasy novels.

    I play/have played Skyrim, Sims, WoW, Star Wars, Dragon's Age, Conan (online), Mass Effect, Oblivion, Warcraft....oh and don't get me started on comic books - I'm a HUGE X-men fan. I'm stoked True Blood is back and need my Game of Thrones fix, am curiously addicted to Black Orphan, and can't get enough Doctor Who!

    Not sure if I pushed myself into the realm of geek enough for some, but am really looking to get to know some of you and sharing (and maybe even gaming) with some of ya'll!

    Well see...I'm allergic but it's only an oral allergy. When I eat them the soft parts in my mouth and throat itch a bit but that's it. It's annoying but luckily oral allergies rarely result in anaphalactic shock or sever allergic reactions.

    I'm an ubergeek, working on computers for 30 years - currently managing tens of pedabytes of storage for a large company.

    I loved Deathnote - I have the L/Ryuk necklace on my rearview in my car. And I JUST found, after 15 years of looking, my very first television crush on DVD: David from Star Blazers. The entire series (along with the live action Space Battleship Yamamoto!). I was *FIVE* when I fell in love with him. And I met Peter S. Beagle last month at a screening of The Last Unicorn. And I'm going to NDK this year in Aurora because I couldn't pull off Dragoncon again this year.

    Obsessions: Doctor Who and all spinoffs, A Song of Fire & Ice, Douglas Adams, soul-crushing anime, though I am currently loving IGPX on Adult Swim. Also, international fantasy/sci-fi - I loved 1Q84 and the Nightwatch series, counting them amongst the greatest reads ever. To which, I read The Hobbit when I was 5 as well. Final Fantasy, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Devil May Cry. Magic the Gathering, which I'm just picking up. Battletech, D&D, Vampire: the Masquerade, Cyperpunk Old School. Yeah. I has issues.

    NEEDLESS to say! FR sent! :P

    I am a geek by association. I don't really play many games (the occasional bit of Wii fot and Mario and a bit of Harry Potter on the DS) but love watching the BF complete Mario or Zelda whilst I make some geek inspired craft project.

    Mario star quilted cushions, lego brick door stops, and an epic Link from Zelda bed sized afghan!

    Photos available on request!

    Plus, were the same age and height, I started at 253lb and want to get to about 160-170lb
