My feet are a mess without injuries. . . And I had a back brace for a couple years because I have scoliosis.
Mod
Me neither. . . .My dad was on a motorcycle with his girlfriend. . . .Let's just say they are both indescribably lucky.
On a different topic, what would be your dream job?

I used to be a girl scout 7 1/2 -ish years ago.
Vale! (Latin for "Be well!" or "Bye!")
=) Veggie girl here is a bit pickier, I wager.
Well, depends on the vegetables. I eat surprisingly few vegetables for a vegetarian.
That would be correct, yeah.
ALSO, I JUST SAW A MITHRANDIR PLUSHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me just tell you that people who have Tenth Doctor Cardboard cut outs win at life;) Also have you heard of Tessa Netting? You should look her up on Youtube- she has a 'Geek With Me channel and she's a really nice person!!! And SHE has a Tennant Cut Out too:-)

I have two full sized bookcases. I have 1/2 a bookshelf for Tolkien, 3/4 one for Star Wars, and 1/2 one for HP. I have Billie Piper's autograph. I also am liable to have eight-ish tabs of Google Drive open.
I'm not sure what qualifies as geeky, but:I've worn glasses since 1st grade
started reading at age 3-4; was reading aloud the second I figured out how (my kindergarten teacher said "It's just like reading out loud, but without moving your lips"); before then I was reading by moving my lips without sound.
I am very clumsy, awkward, and tall. I'm kinda like a 'gentle giant', I guess
On several occasions, I have corrected my teachers and adults in general, and been correct
I have connected all but the area code in my phone number to a fandom reference
I am in advanced classes at school & have never gotten less than an A on my report card
I enjoy making connections to people's birthdays and their personalities, as well as personalities and phone numbers
Mod
A lot of it is true for me. Except phone numbers are remembered through math and patterns, and I could do addition before I was three. I'm also taking two foreign languages, have a textbook on Phoenician and Ancient Greek. . . .I also started forcing my mum to write stories down when I was 3 or 4. I only started reading myself until later though.

I get guys flirting with me all the time. I think it's partially because I flaunt the fact I'm a geek. I have no interest in guys (or girls) romantically though.
I have issues with superheroes, honestly.

I've always been regarded as weird and not been looked up to for it. Then poof! I wear a cloak and people suddenly respect me for being weird. It's strange.
Hopefully. You never know. I was expecting people to avoid me because of the cloak, but then the opposite sort of happened.
Mod
I've almost always (starting in 3rd grade) found people as strange as I. I mean, the popular people wouldn't talk to me and looked at me like I was an alien. They still look at me like I've gone mental. Then again, I sort of encourage that one a little, partially because it's what people expect.
The Doctor {Are you my Mummy?} wrote: "Everyone thought I was weird in elementary school, then in Junior High I met people who were just as weird as me. No one thought of anyone as weird in that group because we all knew we were :P now ..."I KNOW, RIGHT! Same here!
I've always been a bit of an oddball. I went to what was considered a 'smart school' in elementary, but I was one of the only remotely intelligent kids there. People often looked to me for answers, homework help, and to be their project partner (probably thinking I'd do all the work. Joke was on them!). My parents both love reading; somehow this interest skipped 2/3 kids and ended up full-force with me. In 6th grade I moved on to another 'smart school' expecting the same thing. Boy, was I wrong! I met 2 awesome geeky-type people (and several semi-geeks) that made great friends, and introduced me to the art of the fangirl. It's nice having people to talk to that aren't internet strangers! (not that you guys aren't great...)
I guess I'm a geek because I'd rather fix my computer than watch a hockey game. I'd rather roll d20s than play catch. And give me some classic sci-fi with outrageous technology and aliens and I'm there. All this and much, much more . . .
I wear glasses and like geeky tv shows and movies. And I like to read
The only sport I do is swimming. I love algebra, and most science. I read Lord of the Rings when I was 11 (oh yes). At school, people call me smart, but I don't really like it because I'm not that good in math or language or french. Also, my life revolves around books and Doctor Who. And I play Minecraft.

That's how old I was when I first read LotR. I was 12 when I first read the Silmarillion.

Yeah, me too. The Silmarillion is really good!
The Silmarillion was awesome! Maedhros or Maglor?
