Geeky girl looking to make some awesome friends!

Hi everybody!

I'm a woman reveling in all my geeky awesomeness and looking for people to share in it. I'm hoping more of my MFP friends will get my references when I post them on my wall. I love motivating and encouraging people with geeky quotes and references!

About me: I'm 26, 5'6", and currently 205 pounds. I'm hoping to get down to 150 eventually. Currently on 1410 calories/day. I enjoy class-style workouts at my gym like Zumba, Cize, Body Barre, etc. I also dislike most vegetables (they're the food my food eats). But I'm finding a good balance in my daily foods.

My geeky interests are:
Game of Thrones, Firefly, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, BBC Sherlock, World of Warcraft, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, Star Trek, Star Wars, Full Metal Alchemist, Marvel,The IT Crowd, LoTR, the Percy Jackson Series, Books in general (I'm a huge bookworm), History, Anthropology, Biology and other natural sciences, Mythology (Greek, Norse, Roman), and a bunch of other stuff.

What do you geek out for?

Feel free to add me and we'll bask in our mutual geekiness!

    I actually got in on that one very late after it started and there were too many people to sift through, so I thought I'd try out my own :smile:

    *clears throat* I could swear I heard the sound of someone mentioning Doctor Who all the way from my personal feed.

    ((Also Marvel everything, and Star Wars, and MMOs, and Firefly, and board games... do I need to continue?)

    Arwen is my real name; I had a Geek destiny from the start. LoTR for sure, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Ender's Game, Dune, GoT, Doctor Who, etc most Sci-fi and Fantasy in general. Also a big book worm; I have my library card number memorized. And to top it off, I double majored in Anthropology and Linguistics with a minor in Classics. Bring on the Geek! I'm also looking to drop about 60lbs. Anyone, feel free to add me. :)

    I'm always a fan of fellow geeks! I'm a fellow Anthropology major (culturally focused but I love them all!). I'm a huge reader and love fantasy, especially Margaret Atwood and post-apocalyptic themed novels. For TV: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Game of Thrones, RWBY, Harry Potter, and way too many more to name

    25 year old video game nerd here. Actually just ordered some video game inspired workout clothing and I'm like a 5 year old waiting for Christmas morning.

    But I'm also a comic book nerd as well as in love with things like Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, ect. I've even done a few paintings of characters (I am an art teacher). Feel free to add me if you'd like. :smile:

    I'm 28 and 5'7" at 146lbs. I love superheroes, comic books (mainly the batman universe), I travel across states to go to conventions and do cosplays. My motto for training hard is 'What Would Batman Do?'

    I'm 28, 5'11 and currently 276 trying to get down to about 180. I'm a HUGE Harry Potter nerd and do quite a bit of gaming (mostly PC, but some Xbox as well), with some interest in Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, and some other things as well.

    As far as games, I'm mostly playing WoW and Minecraft (on a HP server) at the moment, but I'm a pretty big bioware fangirl and will divert to replaying Dragon Age or Mass Effect quite a bit.

    Anyone can feel free to add me. I don't post on my own wall very often, but read and like what others have posted pretty consistently.

    I never expected to see so many geeky/gamer ladies here!! I have always geeked out to my professional interests (neuropsychology/psychology/forensics). My fandoms span the genres of TV, movie, books, and gaming. I'm a hardcore Whedonite (esp. Firefly/Serenity, Buffy, Angel, Dr. Horrible, & Avengers). I love all things zombie/post-apocalyptic (esp. The Walking Dead). I also love Harry Potter, Hunger Games, LoTR, IT Crowd, Merlin, etc., too many to name. I've transitioned from MMO's to co-op and single players; I'm currently catching up on some old games like Left 4 Dead and BioShock (silly education got in the way of my gaming).

    Oh, yeah, I'm also back on my fitness journey! I made it to my goal weight a couple years ago, and have promptly returned to my start weight. :# Feel free to add me. I'm trying to find a group of folks for mutual support and motivation. :)

    if you're into Otome, there's an app I recently downloaded from google play last month, and its gotten me to do sit ups, squats and push ups daily. It's Burn Your Fat With Me (for girls). Yeah, the main character that you deal with is a complete jerk at first, but it's really a cute story line once you finish it, and I feel compelled daily to do at least three training sessions daily (so that I can advance my storylines). It's been done in English and Japanese, and if you enjoy Japanese with English subtitles, i believe that they have that ability too.

    Besides this, I'm into gaming, mostly computers- gw2, wow, have played Rift, but then I got into some Steam Otome games, and I've found myself not feeling like logging onto gw2 as much. Into sci-fi, mythical, magical, fantasy... Oh speaking of which on my tablet I found Alice in the Heart (zomg so great), I don't even want to admit how much time I've logged on that game :blush:

    Ayyy. 18, 5"4, currently 155 lbs hoping to get down to 120. :smiley:

    I love video games (I'm willing to try anything except RTS because I'm hella bad at it). Fav game has to be Fallout 3. Can't afford a lot of games so I just watch YouTubers. I love Funhaus and Rooster Teeth. I watched Supernatural, Sherlock, OITNB, Orphan Black. I love Star Trek more than life. <3

    Geeks unite! lol

    Love to see more geeks like me taking an interest in getting in better shape. I think being in IT all these years almost killed me with the desk jobs. I was thinking the other day what I really needed for vacation next year was a good scifi convention. Then I started to think about a costume for said convention.. then I realized I wasn't getting any work done and had to give up that train of thought. Welcome to MFP everyone! I'm an older geek, I grew up with things like Logan's Run, Alien, Buck Rogers, etc. but if anyone needs a friend feel free to add me.

    Geeky mama, here! Got my degree in Anthropology to be able to study monkeys in Central/South America. Ended up in IT instead. Big fan of Doctor Who, Supernatural, Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien and anything zombie related (I'm like a zombie hipster-my favorite movie when I was like 9 was the original Dawn of the Dead).
