    You know... we should have an off topic nerd thread and and off topic thread. Cus this is brilliant.

    I picked up a cosplay book from FP the other day when I went in looking for something else (and came out with 5 other things). I REALLY want to give cosplay a try. There was some really excellent stuff. I'll try scan my favourites when I'm home.

    I remember spending a month of college helping a friend build a chicken wire gourd for a Gara costume but I've never really really given cosplay a proper try.

    I used to be into anime too, but not so much any more.

    still have a lot of time for Spirited Away though, one of my favourites EVER! :D

    (I have an idea..)

    going to Gaga next week but it's on a tesday and wouldnt be able to get back up to Dub before halloween weekend, but if anyone wants to venture down this way Dignity are throwing a halloween costume party on the 30th.

    I was just lurking and came across mentions of Red Dwarf, internet memes, Mighty Boosh and felt compelled to say hi. That's about all I can muster for now though, I'll think of something later to continue the conversation with!

    I would also consider myself to be quite geeky. Unless more other people can recall the most useless trivia on any given subject and give explicit technical details about other things. Then I'm just average I suppose. But I've never thought of myself as average. I'd rather have "exceptional"! :D

    @Eebs I'd love to see what types of costumes you liked. I always seem to go for the male ones or the kick ass chicks. I can see it now, LGBT geek/cosplay meet-up ftw!

    @zxy you just can't escape cosplay can you! JOIN US :D

    @Links I have all of the Studio Ghibli titles, Spirited Away was my first, j'adores it. Howl's Moving Castle or Princess Mononoke are probably my faves.

    So many nerds ITT

    Hello, SMART nerd. I'm just a geek with too many way cool DVDs which I've watched so many times I act them out.

    Getting away from nerdy things and TV, you know whats really irritating? When theres one girl in your class of this really important, complicated class and she's really hot and instead of thinking about electron configuration or how lenses work you end up thinking about her for the entire thing. The class is over and its like **** where did that 40 minutes go I can actually so understand why people are against mixed schools, if my whole year of straight girls had people to look at we would get NOTHING done, ever. :P :P:D

    In fact considering that involved physics and chemistry class, does that still count as nerdy?

    no, not really - I don't believe there is any correlation between gender/sexuality and intelligence

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    yeah the nerdy/geeky is totally uninteresting to me - I'm not into scifi or comics or computer science at all

    True. I think sometimes however that creativity(which in itself is a form of intelligence) manifests in people who experience hardships. Many children/teenagers develop quirks in behaviour and invest themselves in hobbies and pastimes to help themselves through difficult times. Again this is not specific to gender/sexuality but being gay is sometimes quite difficult.

    OR, all the LGBT boards members might be super geniuses. I like that idea better:D However yeah we need a nerd thread and a not nerd thread.

    It's just nobody has really maintained conversation about anything else under the off-topic umbrella. You get out what you put in!

    Wez is a sweaty, under 18s disco in Wesley Rugby Club where you turn up pissed and make out with every member of the opposite sex you can see. If you are female, you may find yourself the joys of the grinding boy sandwich, where two boys trap you between them and grind themselves on you. It is rather unpleasant.:(:P

    I am barely allowed to go out with my straight friends, big gay crew is on hiatus for the next 2 years until I'm in college :P And basically everyone on here is a good 8 or 9 years older than me or so.

    Ah I knew there was a good reason I didn't want my Daughter going there :)

    I haven't really been out in a long time, so I think I might want to soon. I know it's not even halloween yet, but in the run up to Christmas I always love hot whiskey :)

    I discovered if you drink a Captn morgan at some stage during the night you're less likely to suffer hangover. I forgot this vital piece of information last night.
