    I'm am a full-fledged nerd girl!

    It started with Harry Potter (I got pretty obsessed for a while, have even thrown several HP-themed parties). My other obsessions are LOTR, Dr. Who, and most recently Game Of Thrones (reading book 4 now!).

    LOTR is one of my "nerdy" indulgences. As well as books by Philip K. D*** (For some reason censored by MFP - but he's the guy who wrote Blade Runner and VALIS) and Robert Anton Wilson! :)

    I don't consider myself a nerd, but I have nerdish tendencies :tongue:
    I am an ex WoW junky, I enjoy Doctor Who, old Star Wars, some anime, love Zelda, am into space and science stuff, enjoy sci fi, etc. add me if you like.

    before HP wouldn't it have been IBM?

    Sure, but of course both companies out date anyone on here. My current employer is actually older than both, and we recently destroyed IBM in a huge deal. So there? :)

    I guess I should stick to the topic. I'm a huge sci fi / fantasy fan, both for novels and television. I don't read anything that was written for children but has been brought into this so called "nerd" fold. Sorry, HP fans.

    That reminds me, I need to go see Prometheus. Anyone like it?

    Dr Who nerd and general geek! Anyone who wants to add me feel free!
    I would particularly like a few more male friends, as I have very few on here. The reason being my boyfriend is starting to show signs of interest in exercising with me or eating my food, and I'd love to have some insight on the male experience of working out and healthy living. And I like a good gender balance in friends in general :)

    Hey there! I thought you meant Hewlett Packard by HP until I realised it's Harry Potter LOL, yeah, I'm not that young.... I've got all the HP books and films. I absolutely love Star Wars, anything SciFi really and can't live without Anime and Manga. Don't have any friends here, so would be nice to have you and any other fellow nerds as friends. I'll friend you :)

    Big nerd right here ^^ I'm a big gamer. I don't really watch anime other than Ghibli films, but I do have some manga I enjoy reading. I also love asian light novels, and any fantasy novels. I enjoy watching dramas. I'm a dork for mythology, especially Egyptian. And I speak Japanese. ...convinced yet? :laugh:

    I'm totally a nerd too! Love so much of what people have already listed - huge Dr. Who, Torchwood, HP, anything Joss Whedon fan just to name a few things. My little brother wasn't even a Dr. Who fan and ended up rooming with one of the cast members. I was soooo jealous!

    I have a star wars themed christmas tree (my yoda tree topper is the best purchase I ever made..even if it is "new" yoda and not the orignal trilogy) and I was almost born on the hospital lawn because the new episode of Dr. Who was on and my mom HAD TO stay home and watch it. So yeah, I was born a nerd.

    I love lotr, and I'm a late bloomer and getting into HP, I dont play rpgs like wow but I do play my classic nintendo more than my wii lol

    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 had to quote this for the pure enjoyment of watching Orlando Bloom.

    I notice the definition of "nerd" has really evolved since I was a kid. I was considered a nerd just because I liked to read, liked to do well in school, and had glasses. I don't think I qualify as the new-fangled type of nerd. :drinker:

    Yes, I love fantasy! Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings especially. Sometimes, I imagine myself in the worlds that these amazing authors write up, and get depressed when I have to come back to reality and walk past the litter on the ground outside as a baby cries in the background because his mother won't give him a candy bar. Video games, too! Skyrim and a bunch of different RPGS. I also like MAGIC (the card game).

    I'm into Anime, photography, working out, I was a DM for a few years I own just about every 3.5 book in existence. Star Wars, LOTR fan I love Bleach and into cosplay, I'm an avid Facebooker, I sing in my church choir, I'm a music hound with 3,546 songs from iTunes, I lost some weight, and am determined to loose more, once I set my mind on something, nothing stops me. Sort of like the Juggernaut of motivation. I have ton of comic books that I never read, only admired put in plastic and acid free backing and stored at room temp never exceeding 90 degrees or falling below 30. I like to dance, party, walk around NYC and meet new people. I prefer PS3 to XBox or Wii. Feel free to add me. :)
