    I feel so restricted by nerd labels O.o lol....much prefer to just mention what I like without trying to fit into any specific niche.
    I'm an obsessive, life long learner type for sure (what else would I be, getting into medicine? xD). I float back and forth heavily between a few fandoms. I'm very into science and art. I like scifi but I'm very particular about it. It's too late and I haven't slept at all, I'm worried about sounding like a hipster nerd. (Which I'm fairly sure I'm NOT. lol)

    Not a fan?

    Anything that starts as Twilight fan fiction isn't going to be that good.

    I'm guessing you watched the lame Twilight movie? This is why you should always read the book:)
    Maybe I'm just no expert, but Fifty Shades worked for me.
    To each her own ;)

    palaeoanthropology nerd (as in totally obsessed: I have a blog on it and also write fiction set in the palaeolithic era) (and anyone who's familiar with my posts on this forum know I talk about neanderthals and Homo erectus a lot lol)

    plus science generally, especially biological sciences but I also have a soft spot for physics

    also:
    - lifelong Dr Who, Star Wars and Star Trek fan (lifelong as in from age around 5 or 6 and can't actually remember the first time I watched Dr Who or Star Trek)
    - also a big fan of LOTR and Harry Potter
    - I like fantasy fiction generally

    ETA: I also own the entire Asterix comic book series... collected since age 6

    History, fantasy, horror, comic books, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Marvel movies (currently a toss up between Loki and Winter Soldier for my faves). I must be a school nerd as well because I have a PhD so I was a student for eleventy billion years. I'm not that great with math, though, so it was a relief that I only needed statistics for my degree.

    Oh lordy, how much time do you have? I've been running a text based online Star Trek forum RP for years (just search for USS Talon), I work in nuclear medicine, I play the clarinet, I do astrophotography, I just went to WonderCon in Anaheim, I own my own Klingon costume, I'm a rock hound, and and and............ I think that's enough for now. Oh, wait, I ran my own BBS before the internet existed and people would call my phone number and their computer would talk to mine and they would download text files with their 300baud modems. I'll shut up now, hahahhaha.

    I'm not seriously involved in the ren faire or convention scene but they are fun. I've not done cosplay, with the recent exception of dipping my toes in the water of Steampunk at a recent Ball and that was SO MUCH FUN! My girlfriend and I went and she put together a couple great last minute costumes. I'm not much of a dancer but had a blast anyway and watching Snugglesmacks dance and have a good time was a joy to behold.

    I'm always up for a ren faire, a costume ball or a video game, especially when they involve my kthulu!! <3<3<3

    I enjoy "problems." I like solving them... these often end up involving technology (know a bunch of programming languages, I can develop apps for Android and iPhone) but sometimes they don't (I am pretty handy with tools). I also love to read. I am addicted to the library and its rare for me to not have a book or ten checked out at the same time
