We are all ugly and alone...

My date for prom was a picture of She-Hulk.

She ended up going home with one of the football players.

Why, Jennifer? WHY???

My entire life is a waltz of geekdom, there is no defining moment.

You could say it was when I started watching the origional Star Trek at age 4 with my parents and could quote it in Kindergarden.
You could say it was when I started playing D&D over the phone because noone played around where I lived.
You could say it was when my first girlfriend (for 6 months) lived in Sweden and we only talked over ICQ and had a few phone calls.
You could say it was when I started staying current with new anime releases... in Japan.
You could say it was when I recieved my degree in Computer Science... and then proceded to be jobless and living in my parents' basement.
You could say it was when I got a computer tower with lights and a window.

And on... and on... and on...

Also...I have written over 300 Star Trek fan fics, all of which deal with potentially erotic encounters between Lt. Commander J'pel [based on myself] and various women of the Trek Universe.

And in every one of them, J'pel gets shot down and ends up alone.

Why, Uhura? WHY?

It was when I briefly but seriously thought about how hard it would be to purchase some body armour, weapons, cape and a mask and become a real life crime fighter.

Hey, me too! It was after seeing Tim Burton's Batman.

Thankfully I don't still think of doing that...

Nope. Not me. I sure don't.

I turned down sex to watch Battlestar Galactica.

When I was moving from Miami to Tucson, the season finale happened to fall while were driving through Texas. My girlfriend and I called the front desk of every hotel and motel in 100 miles to find one with the SciFi channel. Alas, it was not to be.

Gawd, I just LMAO!

Now I have to go check what my kids have been writing on that d@%& Harry Potter fanfic site...

The moment I realized I entered geekdom was way back in high school. My group used to play D&D 1st Ed. in a room after school. I was pretty new to the game but already hooked at that point.

Anyway, after the game I was excited and I went down the hall yelling back to my friends, "I killed the giant tick! I am the tick slayer man!". I figured nobody else would still be at school. Just then I rounded a corner and there was the entire drill team messing around with flags in the hall. I'll never forget the faces on those girls. The only girl on the drill team I did know pretended she didn't know me after that.

Well, maybe not. I know I am. But I'm sure there are two or three people around here who have hundreds of friends and were really popular at school. Anyone...anyone...hello?

As a general rule, I have found that anyone who considers high school the 'best years of their life' is really not someone you want to know

Agreed!

My realization of my inner geekdom occurred when my fiance and I were watching 'Hercules - The Legendary Journeys' on tv and someone was trying to set a cart full of hay on fire and push it through a gate, failing miserably. We looked at each other and remarked that he must have failed his Dex roll.
