in Introduce Yourself
hey everyone :)

I'm really looking for some people to connect with on here- my feelings are that if you have some things in common while supporting one another, the motivation is even greater.

Anyone out there who is a self-proclaimed nerd? Any and all sorts. HP, LOTR, Sherlock and Dr Who fans, Manga and Anime lovers, Gamers... all of you and more, let me know if you want to get to know one another while supporting each other :)

    Hey jonesy!

    I am like, the biggest HP nerd on the planet! I'll add you for sure and we can motivate each other. :) I'm currently in the process of rereading the series, I got the UK editions for Christmas this past year, so of course I'm comparing to the US editions to see if they really are different. So, instead of reading at home, I just need to take them to the gym with me and all will be well.

    Good luck on the weight loss!

    I read "HP" as "Hewlett Packard" and had fond memories of my early years in IT.

    I guess that makes me an old nerd.

    Nerds?

    I must join in on this thread.

    HP is my biggest love but I'm a huge fan of Sherlock and Doctor Who. And more recently, LotR - I bloomed late XD A Song of Ice and Fire anyone? Not to be a book snob but the books are better xD Don't judge though if you're into the books or the tv though, just always seems to be my view.

    I just bought a Star Wars lunch box, which matches my Star Wars pillow case. And when I move into my new apartment, I'm getting a Star Wars comforter which matches the lunch box and pillow case, and Star Wars curtains. Also considering getting a Star Wars night light in the form of Darth Vader's lightsaber. Oh, and I have a Star Wars toothbrush as well. It has Darth Vader on it.

    I also love Jeopardy. I used to watch it every night when The Simpsons went off. I did my homework during commercials.

    I met my boyfriend on WoW three years ago. We both play Diablo now too (him more than me). He moved here a year ago. I got superfat because we spent all of our time on WoW before he moved here.

    I love all things related to Harry Potter, LOTR, and old 80s fantasy movies like "Neverending Story", "Princess Bride", and "Labyrinth".
