I am a girl looking for a geek guy, so there are some of us out there. Where do you all hang out?! I've always had a sweet spot for geeks, but I'm horribly inept at finding them. I myself am more of a literary nerd than a geek really: getting a master's in eighteenth-century British lit will do that to you. IP: Logged |

Well, my parents met at a library... also, some geeks hang out at comic book stores... I for one mostly hang out in my room in front of the computer, only going *gasp* outside */gasp* once every couple of months. I spend over a hundred hours a week in front of this very computer whether I'm coding, gaming, surfing, chatting with friends, ... You could try posting an ad on peer2peer, the ratio there is about 10 geeks / 1 geekette so the odds are in your favor, and contacting some of the geeks on the list too. If you're looking for someone near you though, that leaves a lot of geeks out. Like me for example. IP: Logged |

magebard, Ah, you are right! Ooops. Details, details. I just recently turned 24. As for religion, as my mother always says, I was raised a heathen but baptized Catholic; I don't really consider myself a religious person, but I'm not quite confident enough in my heathenism to say I'm an atheist. But I don't mind people that are spiritual though...as long as they don't try to convert me. Also, I guess what qualifies me as a geek is that A) my favorite thing to do with my free time is read 18th-century novels or better yet pore through reels of archived 18thc manuscripts on microfilm/fiche B) I can quote pretty much every episode of the Simpsons at random and C) I have excessive amounts of strawberrry blond hair that I wear alternately in Sailormoon ponytails or Princess Leia buns. What about you? ------------------ IP: Logged |

so, another literary geek! awesome! thought i'd join in the fray.... i'm 23, male, with a bachelors in english. i spend most of my time reading books (about 3 times as many as i did when i was in school, weird, huh?), though lately, i'm on this computer more. man, i need to go back to school. i can't quote every simpsons episode (just most of them). though, i can quote almost all of monty python and the holy grail...not terribly impressive at first, but i can do it while standing on my head and balancing a shrubery! other than that, well, not much to tell at the moment.... ------------------ IP: Logged |

bucketofsquids, Yah!! Where is your signature from? Is it your own or is it a quote? Vladimir Nabokov is my favorite human being of all time!!! (I will settle down now.) Where did you get your degree in English? I did my undergrad work in Boston and I'm finishing my master's at the University of Connecticut. But really my secret ambition is to be a Las Vegas lounge singer. Also, you can email me directly if you'd like; I will share with you my wealth of Simpsons information and exchange Grail quotes as well. For instance, "What do you do with witches? Burn them! What do you burn them with? More witches!!" IP: Logged |

What if I pierced my eyebrow? Oh, or my belly button. I really have thought about it before. And recently, I've been thinking about getting purple highlights (I'm a brunette, so I think that's the best color). What is everyone's opinion on that... guys? Is it attractive, nasty, okay? Hmm... ------------------ IP: Logged |

Quoting Twinkle Toes: What if I pierced my eyebrow? Oh, or my belly button. Piercings are odd things - quite why anyone wants to have holes stabbed through them and metal inserted does puzzle me. However, it can actually look nice, to an extent. A pierced eyebrow, to me, would make someone look a bit "hard", suggesting an unsavourly lifestyle and too much rock music (though I know you like that) and, making me feel wary of them. However, a pierced belly button sounds cute, probably not something you'd want to be considered. ...been thinking about getting purple highlights... - Uilleann IP: Logged |

quote: Well, I'm a girl, so maybe my opinion isn't what you're looking for, but: if you go for an eyebrow piercing I suggest 2 things. 1) when they pierce it, make sure they do it fairly high above the brow. Your skin has a tendency to "settle" (for lack of a better term) once the piercing has healed and if they pierce it low, gravity will pull the piercing down into your eyebrow instead of around it or through it. It happened to a friend of mine and she had to get it redone, so I though I might save you the trouble. 2) I personally think eyebrow hoops are better than the standard pins that just go through the eyebrow.
quote: Well, I actually think if you are a dark brunette, bright red highlights look really cool. Purple is a good color, but it tends to wash out and then it looks grey--I speak from personal experience. If you really want it to show, you should get it professionally done, but then they will probably want to strip your hair, and that's not really good for it. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Quoting Twinkle Toes: What gives you that impression? I love being called 'cute'... Mrm? Some post where you were dispressing displeasure about femininity or something. My memory is pretty useless, and I can't be bothered to go track it down. Cute is good, anyhow :) - Uilleann IP: Logged |

piercings anywhere except for the earlobes are a minor turn off for Me. I'm just not impressed with people who stick metal through their skin. The ones that bug Me the most are the ones in the tongue, nose, and "down there". The same goes for tattoos. Not sure why, but most of that has just never appealed to Me......Z ------------------ IP: Logged |

i have to agree with zorro for once. you might want to make a note of this somewhere. Peircings are nasty. Stick your ears is what i think. Eye brows are pushing it but i can stand those. as for any nipple or below the belt peircings, those are just nasty. I have heard that the increased security at air ports has started picking up peirceings. so i do not want to imagine going into an airport and have the medal detector go off because i have a piercing below my belt. That would be embarrassing. nayt ------------------ IP: Logged |

Screw what everyone else thinks. If you want a piercing and your parents won't freak, get one. If you decide you don't like it, just take it out and it'll close over time. IP: Logged |

You know, I'd like an ear piercing and a ring in my ear, too. Not sure why (might be because it looked really cool on uilleann piper Davy Spillane), but I don't really want either the attention it would get, or a hole stabbed through my ear. (And definitely no tattoo, they just look too unrefined.) I also want to wear a ring, but, because I don't like abuse of symbolism, I would never want to wear one for anything less than engagement. Though I did make a couple from old wire and solder in tech in school, but that's another story (but not by much). - Uilleann IP: Logged |

Well on the highlights and the piercings. It depends on the person to I think they both look good. But you might want to take advise from me because I grew up in Southern California so I'm a computer geek that wears buddy holly type classes and for the most part your typical skater gear even down to the pumas on my feet. Except of course for the wonderful computer related shirts I have. But go for it if you want, because after all it is you and that is really all that matters. ------------------ IP: Logged |
