    *raises hand* Present!! :D
    I've got about 80 more pounds to lose, so you guys will be seeing me for quite a while yet. LOL!
    Used to do lots of RPs back when there were MUSHes. Grew up on a steady diet of Star Trek. And I'm a BtVS obsessive. I welcome new friends, so feel free to add me! :D

    Proud Whovian here - watching it every Friday night as a tween wearing a floppy hat & eating gummy bears (closest thing I could think of to jelly babies at the time :). My favorite is Sylvest McCoy - despite some of the horrible episodes they put him through he was a fantastic Doctor.

    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.

    Also a Supernatural fan :) ...and of probably everything else once I discover it.

    Hi there, I think that I may qualify as a geek. I love biochemistry and cellular biology. I also enjoy philosophy. I am a closet Star Wars fan, enjoy chess, and have a ravenous appetite for books in the genre of the Fantastic. Please feel free to add.

    Love that all the die hard Whovian Brits chimed in on Capaldi. Makes me feel better. I just get worried when Moffat keeps pushing back the timeline. And yes Clara can go . Best Clara moment can be summed up in one word "Pond". 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 ?
    Also Yes Katherine Tate although I could do with another season of teh Katherine Tate Show instead, ar-right?

    Hi there!
    New to the site, hoping to loose about 20 lbs to get back to a healthy BMI.
    I am a def. a geek woman! Love gaming, I am a proud Trek-y/sci-fi finatic and Whovian (woot woot to all my fellow Whovians out there)
    have watched the Star Wars franchise at least....10 times and am a die hard fan of Tolkien.

    Looking for some friends who like the same things :)

    He was in DW - the dad in Fires of Pompeii.
    You can watch The Thick of It on Hulu - warning: lots of profanity, as in mostly with a few normal words thrown in now & then.
    They do make some DW refs :)
    Also World War Z is on Netflix and Capaldi is in it as a W.H.O. Doctor. Disappointing movie if you've read the book but okay if you consider them completely unrelated.
    You can check out his imdb for more - he's been in loads of stuff.

    <3 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.

    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.

    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 name

    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!

    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.
