    Where to start:

    Been gaming since 1978 and have a basement full of RPGs, miniature and board games. Still rocking AD&D 3.5, play old school miniature battletech and helped write the rulebook Hammers Slammers: Crucible to recreate the David Drake stories in miniature. I built my own 7 foot diameter, 3-D Settlers of Catan board.

    I collect tons of prop replicas (and real props) with a focus on hero props. I have (working) Trek PADDs, ticorders, phasers, etc. Lots of Terminator items, Firefly, star wars, Stargate, Farscape, etc. My pride and joy is a working hero Logans Run Deep Sleep pistol (yes it shoots flame). My living room is decorated with Star Trek cut aways of ships with my 4 foot tall terminator standing guard in the corner.

    I am a die hard ren faire addict and just recently got into steampunk. I used to make swords and daggers for a living and did the ren faire circuit for a few years. This year I will be going to the great new england steampunk con in Hartford- my friend is making me a steampunked Logans Run costume and my wife is going as a Last Day runner (if I can get ahold of my friend who works pyro for Broadway he will fit her with a bursting charge so that when I "shoot" her she explodes).

    I worked on the set of two indie films- Vampire Lesbian Kickboxers (dont ask) and Blackballed: The Bobby DUkes Story which won a ton of awards a few years ago. Blackballed is a comedy based around paintball which I have been playing since 1982- I was a consultant and am in the film as the referree in the orange shirt.

    I combine my geekiness with MFP and weight loss as I am registered for Zombie 5k up in Boston this May.

    Please add me as I’m a closet geek, none of my friends like this stuff (they’re think it’s childish, though I’ve been friends with most of them for over 20 years and they didn’t even like it when we were kids….never understood that)…..so I never have anyone to have conversations about the following:
    Comics…really cannot imagine chatting to anyone about the schism storyline and getting anything other than a blank look 
    Anything Kevin Smith
    Anything Joss Whedon
    Lexx (though I’ve only ever met German people who watch this)

    And LOVE retro cartoons.....now I was to find all my old VHS videos of My Little Pony, Care Bears, Rainbow Brite and if anyone remembers it Pole Position.....ok way too many to mention...and now I'm thinking about all the Gerry Anderson stuff...Terrahawks was my favourite...right need to get back to work...this site was meant to distract me from eating but now it is starting to distract me from my job :)

    I always get confused if I am a nerd or a geek. haha. I am pretty sure I am one of the two if not both. I write code all day for a living and then I go home and write more code for fun. I even wrote a chrome user script for myfitnesspal.com last weekend.

    I'm about as geeky as it gets. Watch & read sci fi & fantasy, play MMORPGs and computer games and used to play D&D etc. Love gadgets and takign things apart... and sometimes putting them back together without bits left over. Now I'm a computer consultant. I suppose that was inevitable given how strong the geek was in me.

    Somehow I've managed to get through life without getting beaten up despite all this. Might be because I'm a fast runner as I'm sure my sarcasm doesnt help me much ;)

    Love this thread! Anyone please feel free to add me - I could definitely use more MFP.

    I am proud to call myself a geek. I love Joss Whedon and Felicia Day and cannot wait to see the new Avengers movie (so flipping excited Joss is directing it). I have just recently gotten into Star Trek and am enjoying it. I love anything science fiction; my favorite college class was Sci Fi literature. I have to see any movie based on a comic book. I LOVE anime and zombies. My husband and I have discussed many times how will survive the Zombie Apocalypse. Could keep going, but I'll stop now.

    feel free to add me if you like...I'm a Star Wars fan (my friends and I even run the occasional SW RPG campaign along with Star Trek, mage wars, etc..), went solo to see Kevin Smith in August because everybody I know was too LAME to go on a weeknight (seriously?!?!?!?) and lover of all things Whedon-verse (drove to Dallas by myself ((again?!?!?)) 2 weeks ago just to see Eliza Dushku, aka- the HOTTEST, SWEETEST woman on planet Earth, along with Jewel Staite, Adam Baldwin, Ron Glass & Sean Maher). Also a LOTR geek to the highest power. My game room is ridiculous with memorablilia, collectibles & random ebay finds.

    I am a little ashamed to admit, that I may like vampires too. Except teen romance vampires. I've tried them, and I just can't do it. But then again, it wouldn't be right to like teen vampires when I was reading Anne Rice at the same age these girls are reading Stephanie Meyers. I'd rather read about Lestat/Armand/Marius any day over Edward. :tongue:
