    there are so many things... I'm a huge fan of science fiction/fantasy (Doctor Who, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Quantum Leap, OUAT, Charmed, Supernatural, etc.), I love history, and I am a crime junkie (learning about them not committing them, lol).

    I like video games (and own an assload), I play table top games like DnD and GURPS, I'm attempting to learn Sindarin (elven language created by Tolkien), I watch anime regularly, I still play (and enjoy) pokemon, and I could probably recite to you the location of every item and solution to just about every puzzle in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

    Yeah, that's not so much geek as maybe a few other things.

    I wear glasses and they constantly slip down my nose. I'm known for unintentionally doing the geeky glasses push. It's one of my worst habits and I cannot break it.

    And I LOVED marching band, pep band, jazz band, any event that I could play at, I loved. I practiced just for the fun of it.

    I have a level 70-something Dragoon Mithra. A level 85 Death Knight. I make charcoal drawings of Sesshomaru (aka Fluffy). I watch anime daily. Huge Doctor Who fan. Threw my son a Doctor Who birthday that included a TARDIS cake. I love dragons and have a dragon tattoo. As a child I wished I could grow dragon wings. I love all the Tomb Raider games and hope to one day cosplay as Lara. Back in it's glory days I had a Runescape character with full adaminite armor and went around PKing noobs.

    One if my favorite on screen couples is Vala and Daniel Jackson, partly because I had a hole in my heart after I finished Farscape. I still ponder the ending of Battle Star Galactica. I still have a crush on Spike that rivals my all time crush on the Goblin King. I sometimes rewatch my favorite Buffy episodes. I made my husband watch firefly and Heros, even though I knew he'd go through the same heart break I did.

    I didn't have cable until I got married because I streamed everything.

    I have written fan fiction for Samurai Champloo and Kill Bill. I even wrote a crossover fan fic on Kill Bill and From Dusk til Dawn.

    I used to dedicate a week of spring break to playing the Sims.

    I did network commo in the Army and I know how to get phone service from one of those green boxes on the side of the road.

    Sometimes, when my mind wanders, I find myself thinking about escape routes for the zombie appocalypse.

    My hair is waaay too long to be cool, but part of me wants to look like a medieval maiden.. :ohwell:

    Cal-im in CounterStrike. One tournament win (Fragapalooza). All the Resident Evil! Master Combat Medic/Master Doctor. Level 90 Shadow Priest. Level 60 Chloromancer. Level 50 SCH & WHM. All the Doctor Who! So very, very much Sherlock. Yet to cosplay, but if I ever hit up a convention, plan to go as Claire Redfield because old school. So much L4D2! In ESO beta. Have a waist-height model of an Alien fighting a Predator. The list goes on. Hangs head in shame.

    Born and raised Trekker, recent Whovian currently working on watching all extant Classic episodes, I attended the Browncoat Ball for fans of Firefly a few years ago, I have a tendency to randomly quote Shakespeare, Beowulf and Chaucer (I once got a very strange look when I quoted Titus Andronicus at the dinner table. Luckily my family had no idea about what the play was about, or even what the line was from.) I am incredibly upset about missing Tekkoshocon in Pittsburgh due to school this year...and when I grow up/get strong/get skinny I maaaaay look into the SCA to fulfill my lifelong dream of being a shieldmaiden. (Seriously. I read the Eddas and Sagas at seven and decided I wanted to be a valkyrie, then decided shieldmaiden would do when Mum explained it didn't work like that.)

    When I got a new dot matrix printer for my Commodore 64, I used a hex editor to print out side 1 of the floppy disk for Mail Order Monsters, went through it (carried it around in my trapper keeper and looked through it during the boring parts of school) and found the data for sprites and the values for various morph costs, and overwrote them to make my own set of base-type monsters and graphics for it.

    I love science, history, mythology, RPGs, books, comics and anime. I've been gaming since I was old enough to hold a controller and spend much of my time either reading, writing, gaming, or working on art projects. My favorite genres include fantasy, science fiction, and horror. I aspire to one day have my own dungeon, library, and collection of ancient and medieval weapons.
