Yay - I love math :) I taught various middle and high school math classes for the last 10 years and it was a blast! I kind of miss it now that I'm a stay at home mom. I was a computer science major in college though.

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!
