any other penguin lovers out there? how’d you get started? how do you cope with the AWESOMENESS of it all?

honestly I’m kind of starting this thread hoping it’ll kick my butt into gear. I ran suse since it was 7x, but then bought an apple laptop with os X and it’s what i’ve been using mainly. i’ve got my original computer running linux as a myth box, but that’s not terribly smart. i need to divorce myself from itunes and install linux on the laptop but i need inspiration :) gimp runs slow on os x, the way i’ve got it set up now.

Things that I’d rather not have the other people at work know for fear of ruining my reputation. (Though what the reputation is I can’t exactly say.)

1) I find “Americas Next Top Model” fascinating. I take notes on how to posse better in front of cameras. (I swear I’m now less camera shy because of it.)

2) I once had to ask a lab manger to remove a device’s battery cover for me because I’d just had my nails done. I’m certain he’s never had anyone ask that question before. I’d never felt so silly-female before in my life. To his credit, he didn’t flinch.

3) Being “the girl” is kind of my pretty princess crown, and I sometimes find it a little hard to share the title. (Though that doesn’t stop me from encouraging anyone from entering into my field! I love computers and engineering! Everyone should love it!)

What are you willing to confess?

I know some people play on here. Would people feel comfortable listing their toons and realms?

I"m pretty excited to be meeting some more friends I met through the game.

PS I’m really looking forward to WotLK. My husband had a beta key, so I’ve seen some of the new stuff already

Random Nerd Crushes. . .(Crushes on the smart guy characters in TV shows)

I have a total crush on the Grissom and Greggy characters on CSI (Las Vegas). I think it is because I understand the characters quirky geeky sense of humor. I like how Greggy’s character has developed into a more varied character - you see that he has a brain and a sense of humor and his own interest in pop culture.

Do any of you guys pick the geeks out of the shows and movies? I get totally teased for my prediliction by my family. lol. Luckily my fiance does not feel threatened by a fictional character!

Have you met someone in real life who you first met online?

I like to run around meeting strange people. I play WoW and of course feel a need to visit my new friends, especially if they live relatively close. It never really occured to me that this type of behavior could be potentially dangerous, until someone pointed that out to me last night. So far it’s been fantastic I’ve met a lot of really nice people with whom we routinely hang out.
I’d like to think I am pretty careful especially when I’m on my own.

10 ways to find out if your an Otaku girl….

2008-09-23T14:40:11Z

First of all,being Otaku is a way of life either you are or you aren’t.However since this site is for Nerdy girls most of us will be Otaku and not even know.

Reason #1
You own a cat or dog and name it after your favorite anime characters,like Inuyasha.
Reason #2
You draw hearts in your notebook with your favorite Manga hunk and your name,like Vixen and Tuxedo Mask.
Reason #3
When you’re browsing through gamestop,you accidentally hear one of the workers giving a customer the wrong info,and you go over to them and pwn him with the correct info.
Reason #4
You are a Trekkie,as in Star Trek.
Reason #5
You are somehow connected at the hip with the latest technology.
Reason #6
You know way more about computers than the general population.
Reason #7
You have very little or non existent social life
Reason #8
You devour Manga.
Reason #9
Everyone goes to you for the best J-rock and Video Games.
Reason #10
Because someday you will rule the world<------Lol, in our dreams right.

Well that about covers it.There’s always more reasons to be Otaku so if you know any make another post and also if you dont want to call yourself a nerd call yourself Otaku it’s practically the same thing yet so much cooler.

Sayounara,Otomo-Dachi’s!!
