[QUOTE="Galethorn, post: 2600838, member: 7888"] Well, I'm a particularly unusual specimen... Factors that add to my Coefficient of Geekiness - I used the words 'coefficient' and 'geekiness' - Not only do I play RPGs, I'm just about the sole GM in the group. - I have a ponytail and a beard - I have a few pairs of cargo pants and several black T-shirts - Fiction-writing is one of my main passtimes - I watch a lot of Sci-fi and read a lot of fantasy - I own a finely crafted sword that I regularly cut plastic bottles with in the yard - I know more about computers and software than most people ever will - I pride myself on having a greater general knowledge than anyone I've ever met (except for my dad, but he was my inspiration, and that's another story) - I went to Penny Arcade Expo this year - I lack even the slightest interest in any popular sports - I only tend to like music that A. helps me work on my writing or to prepare for a game (various soundtracks), or B. went out of vogue thirty years ago. - I have an only semi-rational fear of insects (which, admitedly, I'm almost over, but it's not gone yet) - Though I'm not particularly proud or disappointed by the fact, I have yet to get drunk or stoned even once (although I have gotten a buzz followed a headache from some particularly strong chocolate mousse) - I'm irritatingly single at almost 18 (not for lack of trying, mind you) Factors that add to my General Uniqueness - I'm six and a half feet tall - My physique is best described as 'brawny'; big and strong, but not musclebound - I have fiery-red hair, giving me the aspect of a viking warrior - I'm a generally good cook, and great at frying and grilling - My beard started coming in when I was 14 - I hate public speaking, but I'm great at it; it gives me the shakes to think about, but my voice is deep, slow, and (can be) loud, and I choose my words with great care Factors that subtract from my Coefficient of Geekiness - Despite owning all of those cargo pants and black t-shirts, I find myself in dress shirts and jeans most of the time when I go 'out into the world' - I get great enjoyment out of breaking stuff with my bare hands, and/or blunt/sharp implements - I'm mostly neutral on the subject of anime, if not somewhat annoyed by its prevalence - I don't wear or need glasses Yeah, so, I'm most assuredly both geeky and nerdy, but not terribly so. I'm unique, more than anything. [/QUOTE]
