My blood is apparently French and German by origin.
6'7"
240lbs

While in many ways I am a total game playing nerd, with a custom computer and a large gaming collection and habit, I also like to party, often going to music festivals and shows when not in school. I'm studying music and producing a blend of Dubstep, IDM, and French Electro.

Even with all this adventure, I'm still a nerd at heart though, and will occasionally feel sad that so much of my time is taken up by school, studio time, concerts, and friends because it gives me no time to game.

Still, I wouldn't do anything different. I figure I can catch up on my level grinding when I'm old and hate life.

Age: 17, almost 18, Male.
Race: Blighty British isles old bean. Pip pip tally-ho.
Height/Weight: Uhh. No idea. I guess i'm average height and perhaps slightly under average weight.

I'd describe myself as comfortably between being a casual closet nerd and being a total nerd. The middle zone where you have sociability but can still play D&D, Dwarf fortress, a variety of DOS and PS1 games, hold scientific discussions and make jokes about integration functions.

Thank god for college, you wouldn't get away with that in High School.

Aspiring to become a writer, actor, and eventually creating the most badass cartoon that would be as dark and edgy as the stuff we had in the 90's (Gargoyles, Batman:TAS, Pirates of Dark Water, etc).

I don't really see many use in saying my age and hight. You won't know me that way. I'll just tell you who I am instead :p.

I'm Robin (my real-life name). I like all sorts of music as long as it's quality and thought out. In fact, I produce music myself as well. I really enjoy learning and making music.

Other than that, I started working as account manager for office supplies last week and I really enjoy this (or well, I need to get the hang of this job first). I'm a single guy, but overall really chatty, creative and careless.

That's me.

I hope you like it. It's a remix from Comptine D'un Autre Ete (quite famous song, I guess). This is just the intro (the rest is not really finished yet :(

quite a few tattoos (good ones, not tribals or kanjis) and I'm a very loud and annoying person.
We figured the last part out the second you said tattoos, honestly tattoos make you like like a four year old with a magic marker found you sleeping somewhere.

I'm an early entrant to college, studying my ass off and still really not doing that well. Been with my girlfriend for almost three years. Father disappeared a few months ago, glad to be rid of him. Stay up till all hours of the night on the internet. Yada Yada gamer stuff. In love with Frank Sinatra's and Jim Morrison's voices. There we go, a nice description.

Age: 23
Race: I'm half Polish, quarter Dutch and quarter Welsh, and I was born in and live in Australia
Height/weight: Standard for a woman my age, I guess. Not fat or thin, tall or short, just standard.

Other stuff: I'm not very social, so I suppose I fit the stereotype there. I don't find it easy to approach people, and I don't go out partying with people I don't know/clubbing with people I DO know (my friends understand). I'm studying IT and hoping to work in the field, so I tend to spend most of my time every day on the computer, for both homework and pleasure.

Race: Caucasian (British)
Height: 5'10 - something aorund there
Weight: I went on the scales once when i was 11 and i can't even remember what i weighed.

I think maybe you should ask something other then our age, race height and weight. Maybe whats happening in our lives right now. I'm in sixth form college studying biology, chemistry, psychology and philosophy and have no idea what i'm going to do once i leave.

Race: White British
Height: roughly 6 ft (last time I measured (a few years ago) I was 180cm)
Weight: 10 stone (MWAHAHAHAHA, SCREW YOUR WEIGHT SYSTEM!)

And yes I am pretty much the nerd archetype, but I lack certain stereotypes like being socially awkward or liking star trek. Unfortunately, people will equate being socially awkward to not being an average person or not being relatable. I'm the type of person who wouldn't say they don't understand what's socially acceptable, but say I understand it, but that doesn't mean it isn't stupid.

I spend most of my time playing games, talking to friends, or watching anime.
My main goal in life is love, due to having being mocked quite a lot of my life, and not finding many people I'm close to. I'd like to be someone's favourite for once.
I'm unsure or what career I want, but ever since I brought up the idea people have mocked and pigeon holed me for game design, which wouldn't be bad, I just don't know if I'd be good at it.

I'm really the type of person you don't understand the uniqueness of until you talk to me or meet me in person. On paper I sound pretty boring.

Age: 16
Race: Caucasian (although you would have thought I'm from Spain or somewhere during the Summer because I tan really easily.)
Height: 6'3
Weight: 11 and a half stone... not sure

Otherwise I do pertain to some of the interests and characteristics of a typical nerd, so sorry for reinforcing the stereotype.
