    @betbetrex I love the Sookie Stackhouse books. I started reading them after watching True Blood. It is interesting to read the book and see the differences.

    Hello fellow geeks/nerds. My name is Patrick and my superpower would be a bit more destructive, I would have to the power to make things blow up. Why so destructive you may as? Well I'm a mine engineer that specializes in explosives and man would it make my job easier if I could just blow up the rock on my own.

    Other than that I'm more of a nerd than a geek. I game on my PC more than my wife cares for and I am currently playing Tera and Dragon Age Inquisition. When not on the computer I do enjoy most of the current scifi shows, chasing after my two mini villains, and of course working out (the last one is still a work in progress).

    Hello! My name is Ashley. I'm primarily a PC gamer. (Our consoles are older - such as Genesis - and are such a hassle to get to function.) I play too much World of Warcraft, love the Borderlands franchise, and only dabble in everything else I own. I've been getting into comics and graphic novels (preferring the latter) thanks to my nerdling's recent obsession with reading anything in comic form. My all-time favorite shows are Firefly and Stargate: Atlantis. (All right. . . and Supernatural. Still coming to terms with that fandom.)

    My super power is . . . uh . . . I sometimes put the new roll of toilet paper on the holder instead of on top of it?

    I can't believe I never introduced myself - I've been lurking around this group for long enough.

    *ahem* My name is Mander and I'm an anime nut & PC gamer (ex-WoW addict) who doesn't get to game nearly as much as she wants, because no matter how many km's I run in Ark: Survival, it doesn't give me calories on MFP like running does in real life.

    My super power is to recognise an actors voice or face and remember everything else I've seen them in, but never remember the actor's actual name.

    Hello fellow awesomes!

    Please introduce yourself and your superpower.

    I'm Azurekat, the blue space feline from planet nine via the eight dimension. And if you are standing on the proverbially ledge, ready to jump, I'm the one to reach out to! I will talk you down and raise you up at the same time! Not much of a super power, I suppose, but what do you want? And when do you want it? Real soon. yay.

    I can fit my fist in my mouth. That's as super as it gets.

    That's pretty damn super... just sayin...

    I'm Bryan (HI BRYAN!), my super power is making any situation awkward if I choose to based solely upon the jokes I decide to tell. I can make anyone squirm in their seat (that's what she said).

    Hahahahaha I love u Bryan!

    I started watching the tv show but, the first seasons were the same so it was disappointing. Once they changed things up it was really good.

    @betbetrex I was disappointed when it was over, mostly because I was sad to not see Alexander Skarsgaard anymore. lol

    Hiya! I'm Tara. My superpower is my static electricity. I shock myself almost constantly during the winter. When I pass by a certain desk at work, I shock myself, and I make a blank label print out of the label maker. I'm pretty awesome.

    I also have this, no one will play any pop culture based trivia game with me any more.

    Also discovered a new one today. I repel supervisors that are *kitten* nuggets. This may be my favorite so far :D

    Hey all! I'm Kathy from good old Germany. I'm 33 and my super-power is uh...I don't know. I can drink water from a cup without spilling any. At least sometimes. On a good day. Y'know...

    I love games (currently playing Fallout 4, still obsessed with The Witcher 3 and always dabbling around in Stardew Valley and WoW) and TV shows (favorites: Gotham and Grimm - duh!). My friend also recently got me into Marvel and right now it's all about Team Cap and the Winter Soldier for me. I'm one of 'those' fans who read fanfiction and recently got back into writing myself, though I'm still trying to build up the guts to publish anything.

    It's great to be among other geeks!

    Oh, PS: I think I used to be in this group with an old account years ago that I lost all the login info / email of, so I made a new account when I started over.

    My names Tia and my superpower is being able to lay on a couch all day and when given the chance for days on end (I like relaxing, okay?). This is all done while binge watching several seasons of a show.

    Hello! My name is Nikki! I had a super power it would be random knowledge! I am very smart and I know just a little bit about nearly every subject out there and I can often use what I have to fake it till I make it and people think I'm a pro!

    Just a bit more about me:
    I'm a fan of sorta old school games like Ps1 and Ps2 era.

    I used to read comics when ones a kid but barely remember anything from them now a days all I keep up with is the walking dead comic.

    TV/Movie wise I love a lot of sci-fi, superhero, horror, comedy, time travel, supernatural, and well a little of every other genere out there.

    I'm weirdly into criminal profiling and serial killers which isn't your day to day nerd/geekdom style but I love to learn about it.

    I don't wanna go into tons of details about specifics cause I could go on all day but just wanted to get the gist of things out there.

    Hope to meet some people with common interests or at least an arch nemesis!!

    My name is Randy, and I am a cat whisperer. Give me your most feral, unsocial feline and a couple of hours and he'll be my new best friend. I also managed to binge watch all 10 seasons of Smallville.

    I suppose I am equal parts nerd and geek. I enjoy most of the standard geek stuff including nearly all Sci-Fi, PC and console gaming, DC and Marvel, etc. The only Sci-Fi I've never liked is Dr. Who. Something about it makes me want to get a feral cat to claw my eyes out.

    I'm also somewhat of a quintessential computer nerd that enjoys coding. I couldn't paint a picture to save my life, but my favorite pastime is creating 3D models.

    I find quantum and theoretical physics extraordinarily fascinating.

    My family, including my 8yo sidekick son, are the world to me.

    Ok, enough with the rambling. I've recently begun a significant weight loss journey to unravel years of physical neglect.

    As with everyone else, I would love to meet some fellow geeks.

    Hello fellow geeks. I'm Lula and I would have to say my superpowers range from retaining random trivia to many abilities related to watching young children (the ability to sense children being where they shouldn't, smelling a stinky diaper across the room, and lifting various weighed children repeatedly for many hours).

    Hello, my name is Janice, not really sure about having a superpower, except for the ability to make time disappear by simply opening a book or binge watching a fav tv show or movie series.

    Picked up a copy of Heinlein's "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" at a yard sale when I was a kid, a geeky kid who read 5 years above her grade level, and never looked back.
    Alas, my lack of math skills (except for during that 9th grade crush on my Algebra I teacher) and behavioral problems held me back. I was never destined to be jumped ahead several grades and become the female Sheldon Cooper of my generation.

    I am older now and more a smart-a** than smart; they will have to pry my mouse out of my cold dead hand, as chronic eye problems have saved me from the smartphone phenom. I do have a 55"flatscreen I use as a pc monitor, but it is more of a necessity than cool. I used to play Monsters Tri and Skyrim, but my eyes are too bad to play video games any more, the instructions and tool bars are just too tiny. Hoping to have eye surgery soon but my reflexes are probably shot by now, lol.

    I am 55yrs old and had a VSG on 6/26/2017. I am using MFP to track and monitor my food and water intake.

    Sorry this is so long, old ladies do tend to ramble on, but you are never too old to be a nerd, just ask Stan Lee!

    Is this still going? Well, I'm newbs, and I'd have to say my super power is primarily in retaining useless information, verbatim, as well and super-incessant-devil's-advocate, commonly using equal amounts of nonsensical and aforementioned useless data.
    I can also find resources for nearly anything.

    Hi my name is Nikki and if I had any super power it would be to become the leader of everything I've ever particpated in (becuase I don't have enough on my plate already as is). I'm going to be 30 in a few weeks and my husband and I are in the process of adoption as well as seeing a doctor about if I am capable of getting pregnant. It's a fixed bag of fun and we're leaning to which ever happens first. I do want to lose weight so I can get pregnant if that's the way we end up going.

    My favorite nerdy things are: Star Trek, D&D, Firefly, Doctor Who, Supernatural, reading, learning about psychological experiments, and writing. :) Love to meet fell nerds/geeks!
