Honestly, why do you think people become geeks. (Please don't just say 'because we're fabulous,' we all know that already. :lol: ) There are things one must able to do to be what I shall call for purposes of this conversation 'normal' - which herein means 'not geeky' and shall have neither a positiv...

blargh! My plot has been foiled! None of the national networks (NERO, Camarilla, etc.) let people join if they aren't 18 yet. :oops: I don't imagine this is a problem for grownups like yourselves...but I've heard many of the smaller theatre-style LARPs are more relaxed about whether I have an ID or ...

Blech...I read the first Unfortunate Events book and was revolted, personally I found the author too condescending and I thought he was trying way too hard. I'm currently reading The Last Days by Scott Westerfield, which is awesome. If you're interested in weird-but-fascinating teen books I'd recomm...

I have a small fluffy dog and I don't think I am scary or unintelligent. Well...I'm scary while debating, that's how I got onto the varsity team, but I'm not an airhead. I don't have a poorly-trained, minimally-cared-for yippy dog, I've been good about socializing Charlie and he's a little angel. (c...

I have *bad* eyesight. My prescription strength is currently -4.25 in both eyes, and I'm 17. This means that if things are further than a foot from my face and I'm not wearing my glasses they are blurry. In my experience, quite a few of the geeky sort are bespectacled, in part because reading/gaming...

You still have those yellow Nancy Drew books? I had about forty, then I got out of elementary school, stopped reading or looking at them, and my mom got rid of them or hid them somewhere in the depths of the attic or something...they're gone...(misses Nancy Drew books)...I had totally forgotten abou...

I don't mind her, actually. Mark doesn't seem that old, and she seems to know him well. Playing Devil's Advocate: your boyfriend, who does NOT ditch you, is totally inaccessible, seems to be spaced out and vague...and cancels his date with you. He was also out all last night, you don't know where......

Thank you everybody! I'll keep you posted on how things go.

'you broke the universe' in my sig...also, this one time my group did a game called Dawn of Worlds (I think - not sure) where everyone had to work together and take turns building a universe (so it would be realistic, and complicated, and feel like it had been created by a pantheon of gods). So the ...

NO!NO!NO! <stops screaming, takes deep calming breaths> D&D is not as hack&slash as other games. Maybe I'm just clueless, but I normally play comptuer games and D&D is far less violent than anything except for games like the Sims and Barbie in Corporate Fairyworld Twelve (or whateve the newest one's...

I have never actually done a live-action role play, but I want to try it...I have some questions for people who have done LARPing before. 1. how do you find a live-action group in your area? I've tried Google and all I come up with is stuff like NERO, which seems intimidating. 2. what do you do for ...

I'm in high school, I guess I started with reading Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings in elementary school. I also was into the Pokemon GameBoy games, but not the cards or TV shows. As an avid reader in a school where pathetically stupid graphic novels are used to teach the 'minimally literate' kids...

Hi, I'm Sarah, I'm a high school student who has always been curious but only started playing D&D last summer. Yes, I am a newb. This spring I turned 17 and got my very own player's handbook, and I was SOOO happy! (feels small and childish). I am also in CT, by the way. EDIT: I have come to the conc...

The most exciting things I did this week were all related to Dungeons and Dragons. Geekiness, I believe, is like vampirism: once you're infected, it doesn't go away - you just infect others.

my internet is working again, I'm joining a new D&D campaign tonight (I made a character all by myself for the first time ever), and Charlie is asleep on my lap. Charlie is adorableness incarnate. He is my Havanese puppy, weighs just under three pounds, and is very fluffy and sweet. I think he's sec...
