Heh all that applies to me (apart from stargate, which I've never watched)

University Challenge is so frickin' hard - I'm delighted with myself if I get more than 3 questions right!

God if I get one right I'm delighted. I think it started back on monday but i missed it!


*sigh* Love of University Challenge.

Lemme see...

I'm probably a hybrid myself, what with the list i'm gonna rattle off:

Any new sci-fi series comes onto tv i have to watch every episode regardless how crap/good it is.

Massive fan of SG1/Atlantis/Star Trek sci-fi et al

Played ALOT of computer games as a child.

Massive fan of Final Fantasy

Was an uber nerd in school highest marks in everything from low babies until i got to 3rd year, then didnt give a flying f**k about school

Love fantasy books, just never bother to buy more

Would love to learn ancient battle styles and skills a la brawling/swordplay/archery/siege

Played MMO's for 7 years(if you know what these are then you ARE a nerd)
Also played CS/DoD for 4 years at the time too

Get massively excited whenever the new smallville episode shows every week on E4, and get into a right pisser if i miss it for some reason:mad:

When i cycled years ago, i could dismantle, clean, and put my whole bike back together no problem, even fix problems with other peoples bikes.

Was the person most of my neighbours turned to when setting up electronic equipment

I am here on boards posting about how much of a nerd i am at 00:21...

Oh i have a slight OCD with some stuff

Think i'll stop there

And on the other side of things:

I DO like alot of sports, could have excelled in either soccer, cycling or sprinting, maybe made it big time but i didnt dedicate myself to it when younger<<very saddened by this:(

I am quite open minded about music, can listen to almost anything

Tend to dress trendy, but have never worn halloween costume

ohh another thing to further my nerdiness.

i use googlemaps / web browser / mail and msn messenger all on my phone

Hmm...
Play computer games - Check
Build/fix PCs - Check
Modded my Asus eeePC with touchscreen and bluetooth - Check
Got the Binary AND the Octal/Decimal Joke - Check
Like Stargate - Check (But not Atlantis)
Makes checklists - Check

However I make up for this by hating Star Trek and playing guitar/bass in a band. I also have a very social job. (Although I do tell people to f**k off and hit them a lot so maybe I'm a little socially inept.)

Hmm I think I'm fairly geeky, but geekiness is sexy right?..

I have been collecting LotR figures for the past few years.

Love ancient history.

I game quite a lot - Wow, KoL, consoles etc (Often stayed up 24hours doing so)

About to start studying for my A+ and Network+ exams then hopefully onto CCNA.

Love fantasy based books and reread my LotR and Harry Potter collection the whole time.

Used to love the old Stargate and used to watch Star trek the odd time. Battlestar Galactica is pretty good too.

I'm a fecker for making lists!!

I use unbuntu on one comp and vista on another (I miss XP tho!!)

Theres 4 computers in my house.

Can usually fix anything thats broken unless its truely knackered.

I visit about 6 forums a day and countless other webpages.

Thats all I can think of atm really.
