I may have cosplayed to my last final today. : p

[kat_rowe]

I am... totally not worthy...

How did I not think of costuming it up today?!?!

*bows down to you and then goes to dress in medieval garb*

[freestyle_one]

Because you don't channel your obsessive tendencies into costume replication?

[kat_rowe]

well, there is that but I do have costumes...

[celtmanx]

I actually exercise most of the rights you have listed!!!

[kat_rowe]

they are unalienable rights *nods wisely*

[borg_princess]

The right to not like football or any other sport.
The right to have few friends (or none at all).
The right to have as many geeky friends as you want.
The right to be overweight and near-sighted.

*salutes* I have these covered!

Hmm, I fail at the responsibilities, though. *facepalm* I don't really specialize, I'm a general geek! And I've never constructed a 'museum of geekiness', nor attended a movie on opening, and especially not in constume. *sighs* How do I up my geek cred?! *angsts*

Oh, bb, those pills look dire. *gently massages your throat* >_< My gag reflex is twitching, just looking at those monsters. *shudders*

[borg_princess]

PS. I totally wanted to name a cat 'Schrodinger' after Carter's cat! But since I have no pets of my own...I will have to convince someone else to do it for me.

*sighs* I have so many pets and babies I want people to name for me, and it's never going to happen...

[kat_rowe]

you could always name a plant Schrodinger. it would exponentially increase your geek cred if the plant in question were a little windowsill pot of catnip *nods wisely*

[borg_princess]

A plant! *light bulb flashes*

But- I have a black thumb, or whatever the opposite of a green thumb is. *sadface* Plants die around me, it's a curse!

[nigelgriffin]

LOL! I love it!!!

(Yes, being lazy about name changing again)

I'm pretty much guilty on all counts. ;-)

Add must run down battery (three times *blush*) on Cell phone responding to RP posts while on a 12 hour car trip. Granted, I didn't let it get a full charge the last two times. ;-)

Hee!

[nigelgriffin]

Ohh...and with cats...Not Schrodinger, but my last two were Winky and Dobby after the house elves in Harry Potter and if the next one I get is male...I'm seriously leaning towards "Nigel". *giggles*

[kat_rowe]

Winky and Dobby? *approves* I'm torn between Schrodinger and Magnus (Maggie to Muggles) for my next one. it'll depend largely on gender or personality. either (or the completely unrelated name i chose after getting to know the thing) name beats the name my last one (Betty after a land-mine, lol)

[nigelgriffin]

What I name my babies totally depend on gender and personality. :-D

I had a kitty who's name was Nuisance, because that what he was. :-D

Here's how my mun celebrated Geek Pride Day (http://nikolat3sla.livejournal.com/10307.html?thread=3147587) - a day late, but she got there in the end. Quantum energy and Star Trek references. Dear God... *shakes head*

[kat_rowe]

*approves mightily*

*does Yoda voice* Mrmmm. Strong in the ways of geekdom are you. But snark is the path to the Dark Side. Snark leads to aggro, aggro leads to aggression, aggression leads to conflict...

[doctor_weevil]

I hope you're not implying that belonging to the Dark Side is bad? *quirked eyebrow*

I got recruited into it four years ago by one Captain Jack, after all...

[kat_rowe]

if I thought the Dark Side was bad, would I have this icon? *points*
