Hello, I'm a proud geek!

Hi!

I'm a new member here, on a mission to drop some pounds! I've tried this kind of thing before, but this website seems far more motivational and the community here seem so lovely! I really think if I stay focused that I can reach my goal this time around.

I'm from England and tend to use sarcasm as a natural defence, so I like people that can take a joke and are fun to talk to. I'm also very literary. I use proper grammar all the time, and proper spellings usually. If I don't use a proper spelling it's because my standards are slipping and my brain has temporarily malfunctioned.

Smileys? I avoid them. 'LOL'? I avoid that, too. Especially when people SAY 'LOL' It's like, "JUST LAUGH." (Hypocrite alert - I've done that on more than one occasion... -cough-)

I'm obsessed with Harry Potter more than you'd imagine. I'll leave it at that so you won't think I'm a >complete< freak...

So: About the geekiness. I Role Play (yes, you read right) and I also write FanFiction. It keeps me occupied and away from the fridge, so I'm a happy person. I also love documentaries and programs about how things are made and done.

I also do original story work and hope to be published one day.

Oh, and I'm also a vegetarian as of February 2010. I don't mind if people choose to eat meat, it's their life after all. I just choose not to, and (though nobody I know is supportive of this life choice) I'm doing very well!

I love talking to new people, so if you're into any of the same things as me, don't be scared to talk to me! I don't bite!

    Hi and welcome!

    I'm from England too and a bit of a geek as well. My fiance is a huge comic book fan and over the 6 years we've been together i've caught the geek bug! Although we don't Role Play ourselves, a few of our close friends do.

    Fell free to add me is you'd like.

    Hello!

    I am new here as well and this is my first message board post!

    You sound very interesting. We have a lot in common. Although, I haven't tried Role Play, but it does intrigue me. I used to write FanFiction, but haven't written any for a while. I do hope to be published one day. Writing is one of the things that keeps me sane. I also knit obsessively; very obsessively. I love Harry Potter too, although probably not as much as you!

    Well done for going vegetarian. I have been one for ten years now. I don't have any objections to others eating meat, but I do think it keeps me eating healthier. My mum and brother followed me and have both been vegetarian for fives years.

    So, yes, this is just me saying hello.

    Take care.

    If this was a personal ad, I'd have to introduce you to my brother! I think you'd hit it off...seriously. Only problem is that he's in Canada and you're in England. I'm sure he'd be willing to relocate!

    Good luck on your journey!

    Hello and welcome!

    I've been using MFP since March this year and have lost 12lbs since then. I'd lost a great deal more than that before I joined though...

    I use a Mac computer, this usually qualifies you straight away as a geek :tongue:
