Yep, it's an online school called Hogwarts Is Here. They do things a bit differently though. You take the basic classes in Year 1 - Charms, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, etc. - then there are a bunch of electives you can take as well in Year 2 and 3 (some don't exist in the books). Then Year 4, you pick your "major" with classes to go along with those. I'm going to do Magizoology (the study of magical creatures). So, besides Care of Magical Creatures, there's also going to be classes like Creature Anatomy and Physiology, Magical Civics and Sociology, etc. It's legit business!

Regular girl turned more nerdy by my SUPER nerdy software developer husband. He does all the gaming (WoW, Diablo, Assassin's Creed, StarCraft, Star Wars (The Old Republic), etc, but our computers are right next to each other so I learned about them by osmosis. lol I also sat through the entirety of him playing Bioshock Infinite and loved watching the story unfold. I score points for my nerdy references he doesn't realize I've picked up. He's gotten me into Walking Dead, ASOIAF (another one here critical of Game of Thrones), and tons of post-apocalyptic books (most recently the Wool series. Really awesome!) He has also gotten me into all of the superhero movies-Thor, Superman, Batman (SO nervous about Ben Affleck as Batman, amirite?), Avengers, Captain America, etc.
The thing I've always geeked out about on my own is English history, specifically the Tudor period, as well as immediately before and after. Obsessed.0 -
What, no Star Trek:TNG??
I haven't really ever met a game I didn't like. Except maybe Landmark from Daybreak Games (formerly Sony Online Entertainment).
Console or PC? I'm PC.0 -
@dubird Sounds lovely! More gamers are always wanted and welcome hehe, sending a request your way
@heathengirl I actually have Zombies, Run and recently got the 5K trainer. Despite the weather turning to poop around here, still been thinking about using that instead of the normal C25K trainer hehe
@danielleeu I've never watched Doctor Who, probably because I'm OCD and I'd want to watch it from the literal beginning and... whoooo 20+ years to watch seems a bit crazy haha Still on my bucket list though! I'll have to check out the post apocalyptic series you'd mentioned. I love movies and tv shows but have yet to really dig into the literature side of things.
@heyassbutt Oooh what's the show about? And yay for more hobbits XD Always nice to gauge experiences with people who are in similar places. Adding
@rbratt06 Omg that sounds like a lot of fun! I was really into the Harry Potter fandom back in the day
@hybridtheory45 Haha geekiness by osmosis, that's one of the best things I've heard XD English history nerd, nice! Definitely interested in that era as well, sending a request your way!
@Kexessa Star Trek: Next Generation was my childhood! Never missed an episode and watched with my entire family. And now that makes me itch to watch it XD Added!0 -
Another hobbit here.
Huge nerdy geek checking in. I'm a research scientist, love marvel, GOT, arrow, doctor who, Sherlock, Lotr, Harry Potter fan.. The list is too huge, I may be here until the zombie apocalypse naming them all. XD
I trial run, sprint train and lift heavy things. Like to think I'm Wonder Woman in training. Wish I was that badass XD anyone feel free to add me. Would love some more geeky friends 0 -
Fellow nerd! Join the fellowship!
Will send you a request ^_^ 0 -
@NicolaMichelle93 I can't believe how many scientists are on here, I'm nerding out just thinking about it XD And I love that, Wonder Woman in training! Added
@Faithful_Chosen Sweet, accepted it. Haha love it, joining the fellowship. It's always nice to have more hobbits on my list haha0 -
Slight geek over here
Love most things sci-fi: Firefly, Star Trek (esp DSN and Original), Defiance, Dr Who, and all of Marvel
I love reading and favourite authors are Peter F. Hamilton, George R.R. Martin (though I'm worried he'll die before he finishes the series!), and Stephen King.
I'm a bit of a gamer. Currently playing Skyrim which I will finish..... maybe, It's just so time consuming and I get distracted by mini quests.0 -

I would have gotten further in Skyrim if I hadn't spent all my time going to my house to harvest plants and stuff from my greenhouse that I absolutely did not need. And trying to catch those last bees stuck in the ceiling.

Done! What kind of things do you like to dabble in? 0 -
geek + gamer here - i am totally into mmorpg´s - WoW and Elder Scrolls - healthy eating is no big issue but finding the time to work out when you already got so little time for your extensive hobbies just s****
send you a friends request - @fellow geeks - pls feel free to add me0 -
@ljs385 I've been slowly getting into sci-fi more, definitely want to find some good sci-fi books/series to read. And oooh I know the pain of finishing Skyrim XD I spent most of my time fussing with my house and mountain-goating with my horse. Yay for Bethesda's weird physics haha
@dubird LMAO that's awesome
@dangerouscurvs Awww I understand the shyness, I've definitely got a pretty deep streak of it that I've had to overcome. Sending a request your way though
@ThysbeEverbloom Oh man, World of Warcraft. I've never fully stopped playing it and I've been seriously thinking about getting back into it a while. There's so much history and nostalgia in it, I'll always miss my Rogue Main and my little Pingu penguin pet from Wrath XD Sending a request!0 -
Hobbits unite! I'm a 5'3 gamer girl as well who also LOVES cooking. I love video games, zombie everything, sci-fi and fantasy (Star Trek is my main squeeze). I'd love some nerdy friends as well!0

@ThysbeEverbloom @FitGeekery Have you guys played Guild Wars 2? I love that it's free to play and the expansion is coming out in October! Such a fun game. Though I will always love WoW - I just can't afford it right now. XD0

Huh. I wonder if my FFXI linkshell is still playing GW2. I should check that out! I've actually got Star Wars Old Republic and Elder Scrolls Online right now. They're both free to play now, which is kinda cool, but I hate not having anyone to play with.

Hello! Former WoW and Aion addict here. I actually haven't been gaming much at all lately, but I do enjoy it (just not to the excessive extent that I used to..lol). WoW was my biggest addiction for almost 10 years though. I also have always had a soft spot for anything Tomb Raider. I also really enjoy anime, but I haven't had the opportunity to watch it much lately. Hoping to eventually get another Nintendo 64 so I can play Goldeneye again because I'm old school XD.0

@PrincessBelle2 I love to cook as well! It's made life waaaay easier when it comes to eating super tasty healthier foods. Sending an add!
@rbratt06 Yup I played Guild Wars 2 when it first came out, but sadly my group of friends quickly cracked out and surpassed me and I've no one left to play with now so I haven't touched it in years.
@dubird I loved the poop out of Star Wars: The Old Republic when it came out, unfortunately I had the same problems with falling behind as I did on Guild Wars 2 XD It was my first experience with a Bioware game and wow they snagged me in immediately. The Mass Effect series has to be my fave rpg's of all time
@aubyshortcake Nice, welcome! I'm with you on being a former WoW addict, I still like playing it but I don't have the same time I used to. Oh and anime, I'm a big fan of that too. I have time to watch it but I realize I haven't -made- time for it. Think I'm gonna have to do that now hehe And Goldeneye!! Omg I cracked out on that so hard my friends refused to play with me anymore haha I still have my Super Nintendo, N64 and PS2... I play mostly PC now but I'll always have a soft spot for consoles, it was the start of my geeky gaming-ness XD Sending a request to you!0 -

You know, I tried Elder Scrolls while it was in beta and just couldn't get into it. I also play Old Republic when I have time, and I surprisingly really enjoy it, even though I'm not a big Star Wars fan. I love the story line.

ESO is actually a lot of fun if you like fantasy games. It's structured like SWTOR so you don't have to be in a party to level and get into the story. Thing is, I really do miss playing with my linkshell, we had a lot of fun.
What storyline are you doing in SWTOR? I finished the smuggler storyline and it was awesome, now working through the others when I get around to it. I love how they have little callbacks to the KotOR stories as well, espically the first one.0 -

Right now I'm going through the Jedi Knight storyline, though I'm also dabbling in the Bounty Hunter class too. I don't like that one as much so far.

The bounty hunter gets more interesting when you get into it. Heh, I actually made a 'family' of sisters, one is my main who's a smuggler, the older is the bounty hunter and the younger is the trooper. Have a whole backstory and everything. XD0 -
Im a nerdy linguist knitter gamer that wants to try to be Vi from league of legends for halloween. I've never cosplayed before so I am overwhelmed when thinking about recreating an outfit! Anyway, I'd be happy with an add!0

I'm a Special Ed teacher who focuses on kids with trauma, with Mario bulletin boards. I LOVE video games, and my favorites are Dragon Age (ALL of them.) Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite, Final Fantasy 7, and spooky scary games like Fatal Frame and Silent Hill. (2 and 3 are my personal faves)
I am trying to get back in shape, so I can be a hot geeky gal! I love me some Fables comic books, and Stephen King and Tina Belcher are my personal spirit animals. I actually paint shoes, so I can bring my geekiness to school with me. Feel free to add!0 -
@ninagray000 Nice, my sister got a degree in Linguistics! I've never cosplayed before either, I really have no clue what goes into it. But seeing some of those amazingly put together costumes definitely gave me the bug to try it myself Added!
@aylamaria Mario bulletin boards? That's awesome! Never played Fatal Frame or Dragon Age (although I own 2 of them lol) but I love all the games you've listed. And Fables!!! Have you tried the Telltale game "The Wolf Among Us"? Occurs at a different point in the storyline, but it was -really- good. I'm hoping a second season will be coming out soon. Adding you as well!0 -

I'm already friends with the OP but if anyone else would like to add me, feel free.
I love gaming. I've recently taken a break from WoW for guild drama reasons, but I'll probably eventually go back. I have some subscription tokens saved up for when that day comes. I like RPGs, am a huge bioware fan, and have been playing some minecraft recently. I'm also a huge Harry Potter nerd.0 -
I have Skyrim still wrapped up in the box staring at me - never played. My kids are just starting to get into this stuff and I'm so excited to finally be able to play again. Looking at setting up a super gaming PC with 3 monitors this winter and getting my son his first WoW account.
Have a great weekend all!0
