    I'd classify myself as a nerd. I go to GA tech (4th best engineering school in the country *fist pump*)

    I <3 math, spreadsheets, graphs and all that fun stuff

    I played WoW for 6 years, met the love of my life on there. We don't play anymore, school has become too time consuming.

    In high school I was really into anime, but I don't have time to do anything anymore... its sad

    Momocon for the win!!!!

    There's an all about Anime group and also a gamer group. :D Feel free to join up.

    But I wish they were a bit more active. I'm also finding ti a bit hard to find like minded people.

    They're watching Anime/playing their games. Who has time to be active here, too? (I can say this because I am a geek/nerd and into gaming, bot MMORPG and old fashioned. So I'm not hating)

    I definitely classify myself as a nerd. I have a huge manga collection, I love older animes, though I haven't watched any newer stuff lately. I play WoW a LOT! Horde & Alliance, I go both ways. I love DDR. I love my Playstation! I'm a 4channer, though more of a lurker than anything. xD

    It's fun being nerdy!

    I'm more of a video games, computers, science fiction geek - I've seen my share of animes and been to a few cons but I'm not an otaku by any means. I do web design/development, have been to blizzcon 3 times, am a star trek lover, have never cosplayed but would love to (weight always held me back). If anyone wants to be friends, feel free to add me!

    Word of warning, I'm currently waiting for my SWTOR early access sometime this week and may or may not be seen on MFP for a few days ;)

    One of the reasons i joined MFP is so i can go to comic con as a super sentai, tights and everything :glasses:

    we have the same goals!! Except, I wanna wear slutty outfits and look good! :wink:

    Yessssssss!!!! I thought I'd be the only one around here weird enough to have this goal! XDDDDDDD
    ...

    Ahem. So I guess it goes without saying I fall into the otaku (anime/manga/J-music) category...might as well put me down for geek and nerd as well. I AM NOT ASHAMED. :bigsmile:

    Everybody in this thread should be on Fitocracy, too ;)

    <---- WoW junkie, dice-chucker, Whedonite, and former FASA employee.

    Fitocracy was referenced on xkcd.

    Also, http://youtu.be/CKNqc3a9Xqs this makes me smile every time.

    A geek friend of mine gave me a pin with a picture of the TARDIS on it for an early Christmas gift. If you know what this is, then you might be a geek.

    I'm all over the geek/nerd spectrum.

    Nice to meet you!

    Well, if a love of Star Trek, a steadfast belief that The Simpsons was near unwatchable starting after season 10, a passion for many things related to Whiskey Media and a fascination with certain robots in disguise doesn't make me some kind of geek, I don't know what would!

    I did. that's what started the All Things Anime group, actually. I'm pretty proud of myself.

    Also, any nerds can feel free to add me. Just remember to send a message with your request, I wanna make sure you're not a creeper. And if you send a message and you're still a creeper, no-go on that, too.

    I would totally do that, but I want to teach government so (eh, hopefully) the absolute ignorance that I have experienced when it comes to America's political system and the beliefs of the individual parties is eradicated. It probably won't work, in which case, I will take control of their weak little minds and make them believe the things that I believe, for what I believe is correct. :devil:

    A goal i've set myself is to lose enough weight to cosplay Shizuo from Durarara by April ;3; Let's hope I can do it~
    There's also some other cosplays I want to get done while not looking like a whale ｡◕‿◕｡
    If i don't reach my April goal, i'll hit my August goal (to cosplay Adiane from Gurren Lagann).

    Also as for a fandom roll call; ALL THE SHOUJO MANGA (not stuff like kanon etc...i like love com, Kokou debut, aozora yell, kimi ni todoke). Seinen manga too~ i'm not overly fond of anime but if a series is recommended enough i'll try it, atm I need to watch Durarara, and Ao no exorcist! :B Games wise it's Devil May Cry all the way and L4D too (also Bayonetta :C). I go to a few cons a year too ;-; they're all in England tho, and a small few in Ireland.

    I am a fan of Japanese animation, and love reading manga :) Some of my favorite manga/animes are Ao no Exorcist, Higurashi, Bleach, Bio-Meat, Emerging, Metro Survive, and quite a few others...Not the biggest gamer, but I do a have a couple of favorites: Star Ocean (all of them, lol) Resident Evil, Ys, and Suikoden (1&2)
    Right now I am collecting foreign (mostly Korean and Japanese) concert/musical DVD's. But my music genre of choice right now is K-pop, haha.

    Haha I love cosplay .. anytime I see any online I stalk all the remaining pictures in case there's just one more *-* .. Oh dear I'm a stalker 0_0
    I have done a few but they were more for a game I was hooked on at the time then for anything even remotely popular >_<
    As for anime I'm picking but if I find something I like I'll watch it non-stop till I've finished all episodes ... and people wonder why I constantly look tired =_=

    Hihi there!

    I'm big into anime, cosplay, asian dramas. I also love a good soft sci-fi. My favorite anime/manga series, now and forever, is Sailor Moon. I like jrock, jpop, kpop. I also enjoy a good enka or trot song >_>. I sew alot. I'm also a lolita. In my spare time I like to write music, sing, draw, or work on website design and programming. I'm an all around geek top to bottom XD.

    Anime geek here (though not much into games) who likes to draw. Good to know I'm not alone either. :smile:
