Hello Geekdom! Anyone out there?
« on: March 30, 2008, 08:51:27 PM »
Hello everyone!

I'm new here. Just thought I'd post a little introductory hello :) I'm from Texas. I'm a psychology major nearly done with my degree (phew!), and also just a random, miscellaneous, geek at heart with a little too much time random time on my hands and looking to meet new friends (with a hellacious affinity for run-on sentences!)!

Sounds like a time. What is there to do in the ass-crack of Texas? (What do you like to do?)

Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

I'm kind of a miscellaneous girl, despite the absolute abyss of a town I live in.  Not much to do except hang out with friends and find things to entertain yourself with.  I enjoy hanging with friends doing whatever strikes us at the moment, reading, writing, listening to/playing music, movies, cooking, baking, eating, breathing, living, cliche-ing annoyingly, well timed comedy, and some days just sitting and reading a good online comic.  :-)

Other than psycology, do you have any particular interests?

I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate the phone by 90 degrees and try again.

Thanks, and nice to make your acquaintance! :-) Being almost done sucks huh? I just want to graduate already!!  Applied mathematics, huh?  You are a braver soul than I.  I have long since lost my niche for math, heheh.

Aw, I always hope to meet people from the Houston area on the internet. I live in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which is less than half an hour away from the border of Texas, and only two hours away from Houston.

One day, one day I will meet awesome internet people in-person!

I'm not sure if you're implying I'm the stalker for wanting to meet people from the internet, or just stating that internet people are scary as hell. Either way, both might be true.
