Right, so now I joined this community as well to celebrate the nerd lifestyle... I'm 19, female and I live in Germany.
My nerd list: ^^
1. I'm obsessed with Harry Potter. I read fanfiction about it and I love dicussing theories about what will happen in book 7. I'm also obsessed with Professor Snape.
2. I also love Tim Burton movies. Occasionally, I read fanfiction for them.
3. I also read a lot of other fanfiction.
4. I spent way too much time online (at least 3 hours a day, often more).
5. My favorite site is www.godawful.net
6. I have a huge collection of Disney Comics, mostly european (Italian) ones about Micky Mouse or the Duck family.
7. I still sleep with a stuffed animal.
8. My favorite singer is Kate Bush.
9. I was pissed off about the 2004 "Phantom Of The Opera" movie because it was, IMHO, to nice and commercial, although everybody else enjoyed it. I prefer the original book (I'm reading it in French right now).
10. Besides English and German, I also speak French. (I took Advanced French in school and actually ENJOYED it.) I'm also learning Russian.
11. I really enjoyed math class when I was in school (and I was rather good at it, too!)
12. I know a lot of weird, completely useless facts. For example, that the statistical risk of death through being kicked by a donkey is higher than the risk of dieing in the plane crash.
13. I love reading anything and everything- classical literature (I have a huge Kafka poster in my room...), fantasy, poems, non-fiction, magazines...
14. I also enjoy writing. I wanted to be a writer since I was five.
15. I love the Disney cartoon show "Darkwing Duck", and I'm really mad they don't show it on German TV anymore.
16. I think that most people my age are strange, and I am very awkward when I have to communicate with them.
17. I have quite a number of friends, and even a boyfriend, but they're all freaks and proud of it.
18. I consider being called a freak a compliment.
19. I wear glasses (I got my first pair at seven).
20. I think guys in glasses can be really cute.
21. There are days when I don't bother brushing my hair because I'll stay indoors all day anyway.
22. I graduated from school about two months ago and I already miss it (the academics, not the people)- I can't wait for university to start in September.
23. I have Russian artist friends who run an experimental film studio and I LOVE starring in their films.
24. Most important of all: I take pride in being a nerd.
Hello, I'm new here, I'm a quantum mechanics/why-the-f**k-are-we-here enthusiast,
Please feel free to check out the scientific sh*t I post on my journal and leave some feedback on what you think of the content and my style, there are only three articles so far.
Hi Ya'll. I be nerdin' it up.
I'm a nerd in every way possible. I'm 1337 +0 +3|~| |v|4><, I'm a stage crew kid, I prefer Latin over any other language, I read the Classics as opposed to Chicken soup for the teenage soul*shiver,blerg*, and I spend more than 40 hours a week on the comp(mostly memorizing internet phenomena). I prefer Sci-fi but also dabble into fantasy. Kirk forever!
Does anyone remember classic Sci-Fi Channel? When they showed Sightings and Classic Trek constantly? I miss that.
I decided to join this community because I'm pretty bored right now and looking for more communities to join, and this one seems pretty fitting. Fitting because I'm kinda nerdy. Nerdy enough to read the community info and go "Hey, they spelled Spock wrong! How dare they." Sci-fi is my genre of choice. I have yet to read a fantasy book that I like.
hi. i've been wanting to do a bit of cosplay for a long time. now that i've finally finished my yr 12 exams, i have the time! (but not the cash & sewing machine *damn*)
anyway, just to get the basics right. when, where & how can i do something vaguely resembling cosplay in australia or in the world?
for any particularly event, is it more manga-based or period-costume-based? are there anything resembling large gatherings of romantic goths where i can make some money with a bit of fashion designing work?
as for designing: do i need a tertiary degree? if not, when, where & how can i start? is it better to start by selling on ebay or local markets? if anyone has experiences in these, please help!
