Where are you from? (New improved edition!)

[King Billi]

I live in Australia, Tasmania to narrow it down a little.

I don't display my personal interests in any way in fact I actually go out of my way not to wear clothing with logos or slogans or anything that says I'm a fan of whatever particular thing... I actually hate that stuff.

I also don't have any interest in seeking out people who might share my interests or in making myself identifiable to them. The only times I've ever made a connection with someone like that it was purely by chance.

 

[Miss G.]

Nassau, The Bahamas. Its usually easy to find other geeks in school. I met my best friend during a random Pokemon conversation in 7th grade orientation and several other life long friends from drawing anime fan art while in high school and joining AV club (mostly we were geeks watching geeky things) in college. I don't bother with getting to know others too much now that I'm in school in the States, so I can't say much has happened recently in that regard. I have a Mario and a Captain America distressed shield shirt that I wear when I'm out and about.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I'm from Lethbridge, AB, Canada. And yeah I occasionally make geeky references, but not often. I also have a Kirby shirt and 2 Mario shirts. ...and 3 Pikachu shirts, but I never wear those. I love Pikachu, but I'm too self-conscious to wear those shirts in public.

 

[stormeris]

Well... I'm from Lithuania. I don't really try to seek out other people with similar interests. To be honest, i don't try to seek out other people at all.
I'm perfectly content with just sitting by myself, away from the rest. I don't really wear any 'geeky' clothing, like internet-meme t-shirts or whatever. I prefer to dress myself with a little more dignity, mostly flannel shirts, Turtlenecks, black long coats and black fedoras (or Flatcaps, they're sort of like the Newsboy hats, which are mostly worn by old people, at least here in Lithuania. I still like them). The geekiest thing about my real life persona would probably be my habit of saying 'WTF' or 'FFS'. I'm trying to kick this habit though, been saying this nonsense much less than i used to.

 

[Euryalus]

I'm from Ireland and live in Tralee, county Kerry, nice enough place I guess, not much to do though.

I am told I have a slight accent, I myself am only starting to hear after T0ad kept telling me how great it was.

Slight, Yeah that's the word I'd use >.>

Every time we play Xbox tree sixty Fiji and I can barely notice it XD

[sub][sub][sub] I'm kidding its not heavy at all, no more Irish than mine is American anyway XD[/sub][/sub][/sub]

Hey, I've been there. My grandmother lives in Ballyheigue. Tralee is the place with the Aquadome, right?

As for myself, I live in Aberystwyth, Wales. Small town of about 15,000 - 20,000 peoplee, with university students making up at least half the population.

As for geeky attire, not especially. I do seek those with similar interests out, but as I'm doing a Computer Science degree, it isn't difficult.

 

[Zhukov]

Really?

So you mean... with... with the accent and everything?

Yeah, unfortunately, it's not the worst one ever though!

Whaddaya mean "unfortunately"? Irish accents are awesome.

Well, okay, they're not quite as good as Welsh accents. But they're at least as good as French ones.

I live in Australia, Tasmania to narrow it down a little.

Holy shit, another Tasmanian!

Whereabouts man? (Y'know, just out of curiosity, not because you're within hunting distance.)

I'm in Hobart. South Hobart to be precise.

 

[Zhukov]

Define "Irish Accent" There are several, which do you refer to? Cork? Donegal? Dublin? There are more than one.

What, you think I can tell the difference? I don't even know what a Donegal is, and I always thought a Cork was that thing you try to aim at your mother-in-law's eyeball when opening a bottle.

Suffice to say, I've never heard an Irish accent that I didn't like.

Up on the northwest coast, Burnie.

Seeing so many different nationalities represented just in this thread it's really kinda amazing to see someone so close by.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

I'm from Key Largo, Florida. I live in Central Florida right now. Neither place did I look for folk like me, we just sort of gravitated together. Of course I'm not the average geeky guy since I was very athletic in my youth and still maintain a level of athleticism. Put like this, I love american football and hockey, but I also can discuss Star Wars universe politics... So yeah I'm pretty geeky.
Anyway I always end up finding people I can get along with in most any crowd.

That's right, probably the best indoor swimming area in Ireland (best place for birthday parties as kids)

I think we all know that he means:

Sounds like a "sober" Irishman to me. Ok bad joke, there are no sober irishmen. Ok bad stereotype... I mean it in good spirits (see what I did there?).
I'll stop, the puns are getting to me.
Seriously though I've not heard an Irishman speak so slowly, I almost understood him completely without having to rewind and slowmo the words.

 

[Something Amyss]

I'm from Ireland.

You're not from Shametown? Dear God, woman, is your entire profile a lie!!!???

So...Errr...Yeah. I'm from 'Murrica. Vermont, specifically[footnote]And I don't have an appropriate accent; if anything, I overpronounce my 'R's."[/footnote]. I don't really seek out geeks, they just seem to seek me out.

Although, to be frank, I just seem to be someone everyone wants to talk to, and maybe only the geeks survive my attempts to sabotage conversations by screwing with people. Most people, it's all "whoosh!"

In my defense, most people are boring.

 

[Something Amyss]

We call it "Tallaght" or by it's formal name "strung out junkie who's definitely going to sit beside you on the bus".

He just sounds slow. Or possibly Canadian. >.>

I kid the Canadians. I live too close to them to mess aboot.
