    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:

    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.)

    That's not geeky that's just a good idea

    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.

    Though I'm much more casual gamer now, in the past I'd spec out and build my own PC from scratch and mainly play MMORPGs, I played FFXI for many, many years.

    Now that I've lost a bunch of weight and can find and fit into 1-2XL shirts, about 90% of the shirts I own are of the nerdy and geeky variety.

    90% of my music on my workout playlist that I listen to when I am at the gym lifting or going for walks and jogs are of the geeky/gaming variety. I have Final Fantasy, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Torchwood, Halo, Battlestar Galatica, Firefly and Star Wars music. Those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head.

    My place has 2 types of pictures on the walls. Family and friends, or comic book and geek art..

    I was a Dungeons and Dragons addict... I miss those days.

    Join the club. Started when I was six. My dad let me play an eagle and I'd fly around the battles and do like 1d2 of damage (I also rolled the dice for the monsters when my dad was the GM). I was twelve with a tenth level druid and there would be adults who didn't believe I'd actually played enough D&D to get to that on my own...

    Now I'm finishing school as an engineer.
