No shame necessary.  At your age you still have much to learn about geekdom.  And if you say you're a geek, I believe you.  Regardless a 15 year old with proper spelling and grammar is definitely welcome in my book.

Haha, thanks for the spelling/grammer content. I like my words to have the necessary letters. Anyone who says words like "rawk" and "kewl" should be shot. It takes the same amount of letters to type the proper spelling, AND you don't look like a major tool. I don't get it.

No offence to anyone who regularily says things like "kewl". It's a pet peeve of mine.

"Regularily" isn't a word.

I never said I was Jane Austen, eh? Si gets my point.

This one time my best friend (who can barely spell her own name) spazzed on msn saying that "r0x0rs" wasn't in the dictionary. No shit...

Haha. Yes, good job.

Well, it pretty much is a word. Just spelt wrong. Does that make sense?

Vegeta isn't going to be too happy about this, I'll tell you that much right now.

Expect a latter from her attornies in the morning, and several posts that are part of a shock and awe Puncuation Escapade which is designed to make any English major cry and forget to use periods for 23 posts later.

I think someone has a little 'attitude' problem, but that's easily fixed.

Now, why I'm a geek, eh? Let me count the ways...

- Medieval posters, scenes, etc. on the walls/doors/fridge.
- Electronic Hell in the basement. Enough gizmos, nosehair clippers, and odds 'n ends to drive a technie out of his damn mind.
- Monty Python (We always have that! :P).
- Fawlty Towers.
- The Matrix Trilogy, LOTR Trilogy, Star Wars 'Limited Edition' Box Set, etc. Need I go on?
- Dungeons & Dragons books, papers, dice, placeholders and abandoned character sheets amok around what used to be a good workdesk (I DM alot).
- Digital camera that gets used EVERY DAY (No joke!).
- What's meant for a 'storage area' contains enough cardboard CCG's to choke a man and torch a small village.
- 'The Great Book Of Brainteasers' on the nightstand.
- 'Dragonlance', 'Forgotten Realms', etc. The usual boilerplate.

...That should do. Anymore junk I list could cause a brain hemorrhage.

Admittance...accepted?

I, unfortunately lost most of my geek stuff in the great being-kicked-out-of-my-house migration a year ago.  all i have are my CCGs, my RP sourcebooks, a few really-old-school games, and an atari 52*10^145th (a.k.a. my xbox)

Remember that time at HN before I was a mod and I said "This is the end" and the thread magically closed?

That was awesome.

Then Lacerda wrecked it.

I'm not sure... Would you mind holding this giant mirror for a little bit while I tie my shoe? Let me know if you spot any.
