Nerds Unite!

Do console gamers and MST3K nerds count? If so, I'm in!

Hi nerds.

I'm Anna, 25 years old, trying to lose the last 15 lbs and get below 20% body fat.

I enjoy Star Wars, Star Trek TNG, Lord of the Rings, Sandman, all things science, fitness/nutrition, acapella choirs, and once upon a time I was a giant Harry Potter dork who couldn't get enough of Super Smash Bros. I've cosplayed as Wonder Woman once at Geek Girl Con, and love the idea of getting shredded and going as She Hulk.

When I grow up I want to be Samus.

Hello Nerd! I'm Kathrine. I was a nerd at birth. A book reading type a nerd. I always have a book with me. Also, the reason why I'm commenting, I think you will love the vlogbrothers (you know, the YouTube guys that created VidCon). They call themselves and their followers nerdfighters (to stand up and fight for nerds). I have been a nerdfighter since 2010. They are really amazing people and they have vlogs about pretty much anything from fandoms to politics. They are really interesting to watch and I highly recommend them.

DFTBA (Don't Forget To Be Awesome),
Kathrine.

John Green is one of my favorite people on the planet.

Nerd mom here...and the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Taking my son to Niagara Falls Comic-Con this coming weekend. Is that nerdy enough for you? (btw he cosplays classic Doctor Who and I help make his costumes)

I bet that is SO CUTE

I guess I'm more academically/domestically nerdy than other types of nerdy. I've been on MFP for a little over 2yrs. I hit my goal weight a year ago, hurt my back and ended up almost back at square one. I just did a DietBet (and won!) and have around 10 more pounds to lost to be back at my goal weight so I'm back to counting calories and currently switching between 30 Day Shred and some other workouts.

On to the nerdy stuff...I really like math (I'm an accountant but my favorite job of all time was tutoring high level college math). I like science but I'm awful at it, so I really just like reading academic papers and experiment results. I love researching things - everything from the most effective varroa mite treatments for my honeybee hive to the coolest hole in the wall places to visit on my next vacation. I like growing my own food and I'm helping to start a cooperatively owned grocery store. I knit and bake for fun (and sometimes crochet or create micro origami). Trying to teach myself to sew as well since I've got most of the other crafts under my belt.

I hope I qualify. :laugh: /sarcastic

1. I'm a chemical engineer, so that means I've done lots of science and math stuff. In college, I took paleontology and archaeology as electives.

2. I played Everquest & Quake for years. (Gave up MMORPG's afterward I quit EQ because I decided I spent too much of my life in front of a computer. So I quit before WoW.)

3. I love Star Wars, TNG, LOTR, MST3K, Monty Python, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and most Pixar films. Also all of the Douglas Adams and Narnia books.

4. I won a state-level medal in Science Olympiad in middle school. Concurrent with practice leading up to this, I was bullied regularly.

5. I used to play the Star Trek equivalent to D&D as a kid. I also played an IRC-based Star Trek RPG for a while.

6. Started using computers in 1984 when my parents brought home a Commodore 64. Started dialing up to bulletin boards in the early 90's. Was one of the first users of an archaic email system set up by a teacher at the local high school. Used it to email back and forth with a friend who moved away. Recently built a home-theater PC myself after researching it for a couple years.

7. I played trumpet in marching, concert & jazz bands from 6th grade through my sophomore year in college. So I'm also a band geek.

8. Don't know if this is a qualification, but I was in Boy Scouts from elementary school through the end of high school and I'm an Eagle Scout. At least when I was in high school, this wasn't a real popular thing.

9. I love craft beer to the point that I log all the beers I try just to keep track. Spreadsheets & automatic RSS pulls of Untappd data FTW.

Now that I've got a wife and a couple of kids, like others have said before, they leave little time for my nerdy pursuits. That is, other than my job, of course.

I'm also a homebrewer nerd and am building a full electric brewery in my basement (that gets in the way of the fitness thing).

@mbauer013, that brewing system sounds right up my alley. I love craft beer and have dreamed of someday doing something similar given that my career is designing processing systems that are WAY bigger than homebrewing. Might have to send a friend request based on your comment.

Nerd Reporting in!

Well im 29 currently, learned how to read because my father wouldnt let me play Final Fantasy 1 for NES until i did, got big into video games and books and the occasional anime, love comics and all the marvel/dc/anything fantasy or fictionally based. I work in the IT Field as a Oracle Database Admin, and a few years back i was at my heaviest weight of 380 pounds, I am currently down to 256 with an end goal of 225 and would really like talking to similar people.

Right now when i have free time i buy games on STEAM ill likely never play, and spend time ranking up accounts on league of legends, working on my 7th diamond account for friends. Started with everquest for almost 6 years but after that i tend to get to max level super fast in mmos then sell my account because i lose interest, honestly not sure why i play them anymore lol.

Feel free to add me!

I used to play LoL. Despite being really decent at my video games I've played - I was so absolutely terrible at this one.

I used to play RuneScape way back in the day - anyone remember that one? I also kicked some serious rear at Evony. Not an rpg, but more a strat game.

Hi! I'm Cyn, and I am super nerdy - and love every minute of it.

I am HARDCORE into board games - my husband even proposed with the card game Innovation, since it is my absolute favorite! I love to play tabletop, though I don't get the chance nearly as often as I like (mainly at GenCon these days, due to scheduling). I am recently getting into MTG and play with friends, who have all played for years.

I love to read, and the Kushiel's Legacy serious is my favorite. After the classic Pride and Prejudice that is... which actually reminds me... I got a new card game from a KickStarter campaign a couple of months ago - Marrying Mr. Darcy - I love it!

As for TV I love Numb3rs, NCIS, Firefly, Once Upon a Time, Grimm, Sherlock, and Dr. Who for recent things. I also adored Star Trek - Especially Next Generation when I was growing up.

I am not only nerdy in my hobbies though, I am a mathlete in my professional career as a staff accountant. I LOVE it, and eventually want to go into senior accounting a/o forensic accounting a/o auditing. :-)

I just went through another round of adding friends but I got tired. Just add me lol.

I added a bunch of you, but there's just too many pages, I will get back to it later, but in the meantime feel free to add me.
