Found this guy on Cute Overload the other day and thought it was so adorably nerdy – I had to share it.

The Horde

 

 

Okay, I know I geeked out recently about WoW but give me another second okay. Xanara is my first Horde character. I am going to be honest and tell you that I avoided Horde characters as they were not pretty. Trolls, undead, taurens and orcs tend to be less attractive than the Alliance alternatives. But ever since the Burning Crusades expansions, Blood Elves have been available and though they look spacey and ditzy they are pretty. Their ditziness was confirmed when using the /silly macro and all of their jokes were about getting facials or other superficial things. Oh well.

Xanara is a paladin and a tank at that. I am enjoying it so far and levelling her pretty quickly.

Two at Eighty

Let me geek out for a couple minutes...
First there was Laidelle, my death knight. Despite the fact that she was far from my first alliance character, she was the first to hit 80. But now I have two characters sitting at 80. My Hunter Cyndelle is now sitting at 80 as well. Now I just need to get her some decent equipment.

Force Trainer

I saw this the other day while I was shopping on the Zellers website. I think it is weird and yet I want to figure out how it works.

Write about a time you purchased something "on a whim". How did you feel about it later?

I usually think out my purchases. In fact, I usually think them out far too much. But every once in a while I will buy something "on a whim". The last thing I can remember that I bought like this would be the complete series of Buffy.

I had wanted this DVD collection for quite some time but could never rationalize it (not that I ever really did). One day Dave and I were talking and I decided that I wanted it so I got it. A few days later it arrived in the mail and it was beautiful. Dave and I watched the incredibly geeky series over the next few months, it took longer than I thought it would as we would get distracted with other seasons of shows and random activities that would come up. I do not regret buying it at all, it was something I wanted and could afford, and I got it.

Haiku #6 - WoW

World of Warcraft game,
Addictive drug for many,
Nice pastime for me.

If your walls could talk, what would they say?

Man, those people sure do like video and computer games.

And the walls would be right.

A Geek

Yep so I was surfing the net again at klunch today and once again spent most of my time on www.pointlesswasteoftime.com. I was reading a couple articles there and came across this:
"...because the whole world knows a sci-fi geek is about six steps up the social ladder from a fantasy geek and studies show they have more sex."
Now that got me thinkning - is this really true. Personally I believe I am more of a fantasy geek than a sci-fi geek as I collect Myth and Magic figures and play Warcraft (and other such games) from time to time and of course - I generally enjoy dragons and anything having to do with dragons. So obviously I am a little baised when judging this comment as I would like to think that fantasy geeks were above sci-fi geeks wheni t comes to the social ladder. Now the guys I live with they are a sort of hybrid of sci-fi and fantasy geeks. They play Magic the Gathering and Warcraft and enjoy dragons but they also play Starcraft and enjoy Star Wars. So does that mean that they are above both sci-fi and fantasy geeks? Or are they rejected by both communities since they 'won't chose a side' and 'sit on the fence'?
When you think about it should we really be further dividing ourselves? I mean, society already identifies us as social outcasts unable to partake in a simple dinner conversation, should we really be further encouraging this by fighting amongst ourselves and creating a ranking order? Will there come a time when a sci-fi geek wants to date a fantasy geek and his friends turn on him and he is tossed aside? Come on now, a geek is a geek, right?
I know this isn't the most intellectual or enlightening topic but it gave me a way to pass the time until 3 0'clock rolls around and I get to go home and play RPGs like the geek I am.
