Hello everyone!
My name is Amanda and I am a nerd based here in Idaho. I like making costumes and waving fake swords and weapons at my enemies in my spare time. :)

I'm a full time graphic design student and I work 2 part time jobs, so I'm a pretty busy lassy.

I also have a genetic hormonal imbalance called PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome, so maintaining weight loss has always been a struggle for me.

Are there any other geeks or cysters out here? I'd love any advice you can give me on your fitness journey and wouldn't mind making a couple of new friends. :)

Hope all of you are having a great day/night so far. See you later, Space Cowboy...

-Amanda

    My profile picture is of me as Indiana Jones and my dad as Henry Jones Sr. I have also done Arwin from LotR and Olive from Easy A. My dad, step mom and I are working on a group cosplay for November. My dad will be Walter White, I will be Jesse Pinkman and my step mom will be Saul.

    I'm also working on two costumes for the spring/summer. Hoping they will keep me on track during the winter. In May I want to do Sailor Saturn and in July will be Snow White in her wedding dress from OUAT.

    The reason that I have decided to do it in May is that I want to keep on track during the winter and keep losing. I know that if I do not set myself a goal like this, it won't happen.

    I have wanted to be a Sailor Scout since I was a kid, lol, it was between Jupitor and Saturn and then I found the perfect wig. It will be great!

    Let's just put it like this: if you looked at my picture and it didn't register that I was a nerd, I might worry :smiley:

    Let's see, favorite books: probably LOTR for fantasy, Hyperion for scifi. Anime: Yes please, particularly action or comedy. TV show: Babylon 5. Movies: Spirited Away, Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog, many others.
