Oh, and as a bonus, my senior paper in high school was on the difference in writing styles and "voice" between fantasy and science fiction.
Add Asimov and Heinlein and HG Wells to my list of favorites too :P
Oh, and Bradbury, really the list is endless.
My dissertation at university was on comic books as an art form.
Currently watching Farscape, while rereading Clash of Kings
Love me some David Eddings, Robert Jordan (I have a wheel of time tattoo), Brandon Sanderson, Jaqueline Carey etc etc.Used to work in a bookshop, I miss the freebies0 -
Okay, there is hope for me. This is my kind of thread! There may be few geekier and cuter than I.
And for those who disagree, I say, "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!"0 -
I'm just here to write down names and send friend requests. Carry on.
Bahahaha! ME TOO!!
(tapping fingers patiently waiting for the invite) :laugh:0 -
I'm happy that the ability to quote Princess Bride and Monty Python's Holy Grail haven't been mentioned. It makes me think this entire thread is full of people who consider those basic skills, like being able to brush their teeth and walk upright.0

Duh, of course they are. It's inconceivable you think otherwise. :yawn:
And I should add, "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."0 -

And yes, since Greedo died pretty much instantly, that sort of goes without saying. I saw the original Star Wars in the theater when I was 7, making it my second movie ever seen, right after Bambi (who was a boy, by the way...)Han Solo shot first...stupid remakes
Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Han Solo Shot ONLY!

Rene DesCartes was on a plane (work with me.)
The flight attendant asked if he would like something to drink.
He responded "I think not," and disappeared.0 -
Okay, I don't know if I am the sexiest geek, but I am definitely a geek.
Star Wars (Original 3 only). I can quote Yoda on demand.
LOTR-Every time I pour a glass of water, I picture that scene where Galadriel is pouring water in the fountain so Frodo can see the future. "I saw what you saw.This is what will happen if you fail at your task..."
Star Trek: Red Shirts..
Star Trek TNG: Wesley Crusher was my first crush. *sigh*
The Goonies: Truffle Shuffle
Chronicles of Narnia: I read these books so much that they fell apart.
Sailor Moon: When I was in HS & College I was a huge Sailor Moon fan. I had the episodes (uncut and captioned) on VHS, I had the moon wand, a backpack, the CD's, etc.... I was such an idiot after college. I threw most of it out when I joined this crazy church (legalistic christians that said anything but the bible was bad) and then when I got my senses back and left that church I regretted it. I threw out so much of my stuff and while I have replaced most of it, the sailor moon stuff is probably irreplaceable. Learned my lesson.0 -

Finally! Another female whose world does not revolve around a scrawny sparkly vampire and all the teenage angst that follows him around!oh and i believe that vampires shouldn't sparkle!
I couldn't even get thru the first chapter. And I gave it a try. I even tried to watch the movie, hoping it would be a little easier on my stomach. Nope. Not better.0 -
I can speak Excel and VBA and read technical manuals for fun. That's gotta qualify...

Ugh, why would you even attempt it? :sick: I haven't even picked up a book or movie that involves sparkling of any kind, especially of the vampire persuasion. Nosferatu would kick those Twilight freaks' *kitten*!

Vampires need to be dark and awesome like

I listen to a podcast "Stuff You Should Know" from HowstuffWorks.com... while I workout. When I was 4 and 5, I used to quote Captain Picard's opening monologue with him during the start of Star Trek every evening.
Nerditude: got it! :glasses:
