Thanks to my Dad, I can proudly say I saw the first run of Star Wars IV 21 times in the theatre/drive-in at the tender age of 5. It _may_ have had an influence on my life
Grew up on Tolkien, Bradbury, Asimov, L'Engle - seeing subdivisions with identical houses always makes me think of 'A Wrinkle in Time'. Currently a huge Jim Butcher/Dresden Files fan.0 -
Dresden files!
I was 7 years old when the original Star Wars came out. I have lost count of how many times we saw it at the drive in that summer. I know we payed to see it at least 10 times. My mom would park us at the IBM parking lot right behind the drive in and watch it for free for nights in a row. The speakers were so loud you could hear it. It was cheaper than babysitting fees.0 -
Im a geek too, please add me. Need to lose 70 pounds.0

Pretty geeky girl over here.
I know how you feel about losing and gaining it all back. I mean I only lost 40 lbs that one time, but I'm trying to start over again.
Nice to meet you, I'm Brittany.0 -
I'm in. I am big into sailormoon, comic books, comic book movies, Classic Disney, playstation.0

Big geek over here.
I have a Computer Science Degree, work as an IT Tech and love working with computers.
Big Sci Fi fan, love too many to list, but they include Star Trek, Firefly, Stargate, Doctor Who etc Love other stuff like Game of Thrones and Breaking bad as well.
Am a Gamer, mainly PC and Xbox.
Anyone feel free to add me. I'm on here all the time and try to support as best as I can0 -
i was a nerd long before it was cool
in my profile pic i am wearing pants that look like space from a high powered telescope. which my son made me buy. because science.
we spend at least 50% of our days discussing which part of the human anatomy most resembles the function of various things. like busses and skyscrapers and construction sites.
i was a nerd when i was young by default of my weirdness... but as an adult its getting out of hand. i watched star trek the net generation today. wore my outer space pants all day. with my mismatched shoes. and bought a hula skirt at the dollar store.
i fear that i will soon start wearing cat ears. but no. i resist.
my favorite writer used to be philip k **** until he started depressing me too much.
but come to think of it i am more of an eccentric than a nerd or geek. i mean... i am extremely right brained. my left might not even work at all actually.
edited because they censored philip k d i c k s name0 -
Yes I prefer David Tennant to Matt Smith and am deeply concerned about Peter Capaldi.
Tennant is also my favourite. I am knida meh on Matt Smith, although there were some amazing episodes during his time. (Sorry, I just do not understand fish sticks and custard.) I LOVED John Hurt and wish we could have seen more of him! For some reason I have all this faith that Capaldi will be excellent. I hope I am not disappointed! Any other Whovians care to chime in?
^This!
I have complete faith in Capaldi! He's amazing in The Thick of It as Malcolm Tucker (watch it if you haven't)
I also love SPN, Harry Potter and the IT Crowd!!
Anyone feel free to add me!0 -
But you have to remember the only experience Americans have with Capaldi is in Torchwood.Suggestions for Capaldi's other shows to get us primed ?
Agreeing with the Thick Of It recommendation! Really amazing show - lots of swearing though. Also, I hear he chews the scenery amazingly in the Musketeers.0 -
Fellow geeks, feel free to add.0

The Thick Of It is AMAZING! 0 -
Yay! It's so good to see so many Whovians here! David Tennant is my favorite, but I liked Matt Smith a lot too. I remember being very worried when Matt Smith was taking over, but I was pleasantly surprised. So I'm hoping to have the same experience with Capaldi. Fingers crossed!0

I prefer "nerd" over "geek"
I'm into Star Wars, Walking Dead, reading all things fantasy (Name of the Wind!!), Super Heroes, reading and watching Game of Thrones, playing Skyrim & Final Fantasy-just to name a few. 0 -
I searched for D&D to find some like minded people out there and wanted to share another group I found. An rpg group called "Wasteland Warriors Weight Loss Challenge." Each week there is a main Quest and several side quests.
The main quest is centered around a story (you must help someone retrieve a locket from her mother from the mutant that killed her. Walk/run six miles to the city and figt the mutant, fighting is done by burning calories.) At the end you get xps and can level up, not to mention finding tresure, items, weapons, armor. But beware! If you lose a random encounter, instead of gaining loot, you have to do push ups/ sit ups/ etc.
Join the quest and send me a shout out when you do. As a bonus, there are weekly weigh ins and people gain prizes and glorious titles to be earned.0 -
My introduction to Peter Capaldi was as the Angel Islington in the UK mniseries Neverwhere, written by Neil Gaiman. Love them both!0
-
Ugh. Where are all the Supernatural fans?
Here! TNT plays 3 hours of Supernatural every weekday from 9 to noon. I'm on my treadmill for anywhere from an hour to three hours a day watching the show.0 -
I play WOW, seven days to die, and Sims 3. I like supernatural shows0

Awful lot of guys on the geek CHICK thread...can't we have our own space?
We pass the Bechdel test; we are not congregating here for guys' convenience in picking up nerdy/geeky women.
Hard science bias. Engineering degree (& a couple other fields on top of that). Struggles with math (compared to other engineers). Tom Baker/Sara Jane Smith Who. Silicon Valley native & resident. Anime. Martial Arts. Attempting to learn Japanese. Learned basic hieroglyphics when Stargate was popular. Occasional (non-ship non-yaoi) fanfic writer. Never had time for games though.
Geeky enough?0 -
I almost picked a user name with "Geek Chic" in it. But I am too geeky for that, I just used my name and my certification I am working on (my second college degree).0
-
I'm in the same boat. I'm a total geek...Game of Thrones, In the Flesh, Doctor Who...I could go on but the list is quite extensive.0
-
I totally agree about loving David Tenant (tenth doc is cool enough to have ten in his name) and being worried when goofy Matt Smith came in. I can't see loving the new doctor as much, but he may surprise me too.0
-
I love seeing all the different types of geek chicks on here! It's so cool to see everyone's definitions of Geek. That just shows how awesome we all are.0

Not sure what you geek out over, but I'm a near-permanent resident in numerous fandoms! I love Harry Potter, Supernatural, Sherlock, Merlin, the Walking Dead, and sooo many more. I would look like a crazy person if I listed them all. I also play the Sims (3, sometimes 2, and once in a while, I'll flash right back to the original just for fun!), and World of Warcraft.
I'd love to connect with fellow geeks looking to shed some pounds, so anyone can feel free to send me a friend request or a message to figure out if we have the same geek genes!0 -
