A quiz of sorts....
Hey all,
I was bored this morning and made a nerd related quiz. I want to know more about the people on my LJ list and how nerdy they actually can be. You know the drill. I just want to know more about you guys.
What is your name? Stacey
Where do you live? Astoria, New York (Queens)
When is the moment that you realized, you were in fact a nerd? I was not aware of this for a long time, mostly due to the fact that I thought it was a bad thing when I was younger. I suppose it was when I started roleplaying and found myself getting that excited about it. Especially Cthulhu, around age 22. Oh and when I realized I had played Final Fantasy 7 for 15 straight hours.
What is the one thing you nerd obsess the most over? Why? I know what you guys are gonna think here. LOTR? I don’t think it is that anymore. I am much more obsessive over The Dresden Files now and even Harry Potter than LOTR at this point in my life. Weird.
What is your genre of choice? Sci-fi or fantasy? Fantasy!
What is your favorite author/series? This one is tough. I have to say my favorite author/series is now Jim Butcher and The Dresden Files. Followed closely by HP and LOTR. The Watchmen was awesome too.
What is the last great book you have read (not book club book)? The Fourth Bear by Jasper Fforde
What book (that we have not read in the club) would you recommend everyone to read? Ghosts in the Snow by Tamara Siler Jones. Fantasy mystery novel. J The Alienist by Caleb Carr.
Most overrated author? William Gibson. I have only liked one of his books. Followed by Neal Stephenson and Stephen R. Donaldson.
What is the last video game you have played? Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
The last one you were addicted too? Oblivion
Favorite video game of all time? Final Fantasy 7
What is your favorite role playing game (tabletop)? Call of Cthulhu, or Spirit of the Century
Favorite type of character to play in a role playing game? Someone thievy. Or someone heroic. Oh…someone thievy AND heroic. J There is a reason I loved Robin Hood so much as a kid.
Star Wars or Star Trek? Star Wars would kick Star Trek’s Ass! Oh and they have lightsabers!
Picard or Kirk? Picard. William Shatner CANNOT act!
Jedi Knight or Sith Lord? Jedi Knight. Evil must be stopped!
How do you really feel about Star Wars 1-3? They make me so god damn angry.
Which house do you think the sorting hat would choose at Hogwarts? Surprise here? Gryffindor. Ok, so not a shock really.
How did you feel about how the series ended? It ended the best way it could have. I am glad none of the three died.
Have you seen all three Lord of three Lord of the Ring extended versions? So many times it is sad.
Have you read the Dresden Files? Uh yeah.
What is your favorite character? Harry. We are the same in too many ways (not all of them good).
What is the best costume you have ever dressed up as for Halloween? Dressing up as Prince Kheldar from the Belgariad by David Eddings (stockings, sword, doublet, the works) or the Killer Bees from old school Saturday night live.
