This is a geeky post about geeky decor, geeky events and geeky memes. The Geeks n' Nerds event is open and it's full of geeky awesomeness. On top of that Berry, inspired from the event, has a new meme in her blog aiming to find out more about our geekiness. Geeky questions, answers and credits to follow.

1. What do you consider yourself to be? Geek? Nerd? Dork? None of the above? All of the above? I can't really answer that for my self. What I can tell you though is that I have a lot of useless information/trivia stored in that head of mine so that may make me a nerd. I also love science fiction, I have played every cRPG worth playing in the past 15 years (Baldur's Gate still wins) and I have a huge pack of Marvel comics gathering dust somewhere. You decide.

2. What was the first computer you ever owned? An old 386 back in the 90s. It was a gift from my uncle who got a newer one at the time and I was mostly using it to play the original Duke Nukem and Leisure suite Larry (yes, I was a little pervert).

3. When and how did you first get on the internet? During the age of ICQ, trying to score chicks in my early teens.

4. Which geek fandom do you subscribe to? I can't really subscribe to any fan group but I know I love the Star Wars expanded universe (comics, novels, games) and I used to like Marvel universe (the original one, not the crappy movies one) but I haven't really followed the latter for a long time.

5. Star Trek or Star Wars? Since I am a sci-fi geek I like both but I am more of a SW fan. Not the typical SW fanboy though since (as mentioned before) I am not really a fan of the movies but I love the way darker and more interesting expanded universe. I mean you have this awesome source material with lightsaber duels, space knights, space mages and all you do in the prequels is make three crappy movies about boring space politics and Jar Jar Binks. I 'll pass. Also Han shot first.

TAXI to Geeks n' Nerds

This is a post about my new living room and memes of severe introspection. Strawberry posted another meme last Monday and I finally got to it one day before she posts her next. This time it is called the introspection meme and believe me,  I really tried to be seriously introspective but I failed miserably. Bunch of questions, answers and obviously introspective SL furnishing credits to follow.

1. Regardless of your current number how old do you actually feel? I'm 28 and I feel 28 with the occasional geeky moments (they are a lot though).
2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? I'd say never trying but only with carefully calculated risks. Recklessness just to say you tried something equals stupidity in my books.
3. If the average life span was 40 years would you live your life differently ? Probably a bit differently, yes. It's not always a matter of choice though.
4. Are you more worried of doing things right or doing the right things? That's a difficult one. I like to think I am doing the right things the right way and since I am always right and others are wrong, it's not that hard.
5. Would you prefer to be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? Worried genius, blissful ignorance isn't my kind of thing.
6. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend ?Yes and no. Yes because I've been known to be honest with friends and speak my mind even if I come out as harsh to someone I care for. I expect the same from my friends towards me. No because I keep forgetting to unmute my phone and I'm really bad at returning calls. That's just annoying.
7. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? No. It never does in the grand scheme of things.
8. At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? I ate a really good donut yesterday. I'm really passionate about my donuts.
9. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? Yes.
10.  If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? People I don't know. I'm planning ahead.
11. What do you feel is the difference between being alive and truly living? Well, the way I see it if you wake up and can't really form coherent words, your flesh is kinda peeling and all you can think about is delicious brains, you are not truly alive, you are just a zombie. The  truly living are those people outside with the delicious brains running for their ( true) lives. Just my two cents.
12. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? Because mistakes suck. Most people I know never learn from their mistakes anyway.
13. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? Pee in the shower. Oh and tell everyone in my RL about SL.
14. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? To develop its obviously superhuman powers of comprehension and perception in order to dominate the world one day. And hopefully remember who gave the advise when that day comes.

Damn thats was long! Now credits.

One of the attractions of the new Arcade round is the gacha from Scarlet Apple (collaboration between Apple Fall and Scarlet Creative). My favorite item from this gacha (which happens to be the rare item too) is this awesome "blockhead" piece. They have changeable textures with different faces (both male and female) and in the same machine you can find assorted blocks to go with them. The neat wall art is also from Scarlet Apple's gacha, grab the taxi and go try your luck!
