welcome Jeffrey and Amy!

[Kady Walker]

I am new. 

Hello introductory thread!

 

Not a new nerdfighter...just a new nerdfighter.com-er. 

So...I'll be a college freshman at Western Washington University this fall, planning to double major in Environmental Science (emphasis in Marine Ecology) and Photography.

I like reading and being eco-smart/friendly and taking pictures and drinking tea and being mistaken for someone older than I am despite being determined to deny that I will be any older than seventeen for the rest of my life.

I am determined to marry someone who plays a brass instrument, has freckles, wears glasses, and can swing dance.

Ghosts don't exist, but aliens do, and so do the monsters under my bed.

My mother wishes I were less straight-edge. :D

[Danno]

are nerds really ever straight-edge?  or are we just too nerdy to enjoy some things?

...anyway, welcome to the ning region of nerdfighteria Kady.

[Kady Walker]

I question that first bit. Are we ever straight edge you ask? Uhm...:P

Thank you, Danno!

 

I like not liking not-straight-edgey things.

[Kady Walker]

Lord of the Rings! Just getting starting the Return of the King, finally. And I'm looking up other things by Tolkein and other authors about Middle-Earth!

[Danno]

welcome Helen!

ok, lets see if i can articulate my point better tonight...  i wasn't coming down on you Kady or anyone for their taste...but that's the thing, my understanding of straight-edge is that it requires a level of intentionality...that one who would love to 'get thrashed' commits not to.  while, you yourself said you don't like such things...so are you really choosing to avoid them?

[Kady Walker]

It's a little of both, maybe. I choose to avoid them because I don't like them...but my understanding of straight-edge was always one who isn't into such things, not one who intentionally avoids them despite the want.

Hnnnnn.

[Danno]

indeed.

anyway, not about to speak ill of those who do enjoy such activities...but i'd say you're about a million times more jokes for avoiding them, whatever their level of appeal to you.

[Kady Walker]

Ah! Jokes, then.

I love a place where people say that.

Tally ho, comrades. I'm Gia. Nerd-wise, I enjoy steampunk, MST3k, cheesy horror films, science fiction, film-making, reading, philosophy, and writing. Aside from that I love to dance, be outside, hike, bike, play guitar, and sing. Yeah pretty generic hobbies there. Not really good at describing myself and who I am and what not. Um some random factoids... I'm a gypsy, I love folk-punk and gypsy jazz, I'm a huge fan of Primus and Foxy Shazam. If I could go back in time I would definitely live in the 1910-1920 era. Yeah, that's basically me. Pretty boring. Happy to be here with fellow nerdfighters! DFTBA. 

[Nick O.]

Whoa whoa....anyone who would prefer to live in the early 1900s CANNOT describe themselves as "pretty boring" ; ) And last time I checked there weren't a lot of gypsies running about.

 

Welcome! ....loved the intro *nodding*.

[gia rosetta]

why thank you kind sir :D
