Oy vey. At least it's for charity. LOL!

 

[shazzabanazza]

I'm part of the local chapter. We do around 20 charity events a year. We might be nerds, but we're nerds with purpose and heart.

Nothing wrong with nerds They are the best sort of people

At current we're raising money for a prop maker in California who's daughter was born three months ago. Of that time in this world she's spent all but a week of it in ICU. She has some sort of movement disorder that the doctors haven't figured out yet. She's stopped breathing several times as has her heart. Poor little thing is still fighting though, despite having a trach, she still smiles when people come visit. We've had almost 800 donations so far, and have had over 40 items donated for a raffle. If you'd like to donate to help "Princess Leah", PM me and I'll send you a link.

Yes, we dress up in goofy costumes (that we make)...but the work we do is something I'm very proud of.

 

[Formeruser012523]

Then, I'll dress like princess leah for that!

I'm a nerdy nerd too. I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing WITH you. lol

 

[shazzabanazza]

Poor wee girl. Good on you guys for helping Long live the nerds

 

[Edward]

Always a good thing to hear of people's hobbies being able to help others.

I'm plannin, finally, to get rid of my Star Wars stuff. I can't store everything forever, and I have lost the emotional attachment I once had to it. I adred the whole thing as a kid, but it died for me the day Greedo shot first. The rubbish prequels were the final nail in the coffin. Fingers crossed Lucas never decides to make a "special" Indiana Jones.....

 

[Diamondback]

Edward, did you ever bag any merch of Executor? (I was a little later in departure than you, and I've only kept in with my collection of miniature/toy/model Star Destroyers.)

 

[Mae Croft]

iPod and the like. I don't have a car, I don't have anything with Justin Bieber on it (and I'm starting to get the notion, from looking around, that I'm supposed to). I don't have any pants with a waist band that sits squarely on my hips instead of at my waist, I don't have any skirts or dresses above the knee and I don't have any contraptions that have "as seen on TV" stamped on their packaging. lol

 

[the hairy bloke]

We don't have a television.

We don't want one either. We find having a life a good substitute.

Amen. Except for the ipod...gotta have that. I joke w/ my one good friend that she needs something "beiber". She just looks at me & says, "I'm not in to little girls." lol

 

[Mae Croft]

I don't have an iPod because I can't afford one (I'm in no way a vintage snob when it comes to technology - I can't help myself!), and I'm noting a strange influx of women my age in the area I live where Beiber tshirts and giant studded purses with his name on it. I keep hoping that will go away, it frightens me! lol

 

[Diamondback]

I don't have an iPod because they don't play my preferred audio format (I prefer FLAC over MP3, much better quality despite being much bigger files), though I would consider an iPad since I'm planning to pursue flight training and there are a buttload of apps that make them into a really useful "Electronic Flight Bag" and even a "poor man's digital avionics suite".

Isn't it scary how Bieberites occasionally show signs of moving from groupthink into culthood? LOL

Are you implying that people who own a tv-set has no life?

 

[sheeplady]

...I'm noting a strange influx of women my age in the area I live where Beiber tshirts and giant studded purses with his name on it. I keep hoping that will go away, it frightens me! lol

That seems a bit creepy to me. Isn't he like 14 or something?

ETA---Ok, I looked it up and he's 17, but still, it seems a bit off- I thought stars like that were supposed to appeal to young 'tweens and early teens, not grown women.

 

[Mae Croft]

17 is still illegal, isn't it? Even if it wasn't, he really looks like a female figure skater and I really don't get the draw. He seems like a nice enough kid, stressing the word KID here, but I don't listen to his music and I don't get the cultish following. Maybe he's the new Debbie Gibson? lol

Damondback - I'm fine with mp3s, but I really wouldn't know the difference in terms of technical stuff. I have a 20 dollar touch screen thingie that plays about anything and works just fine! But I would like to get an iPhone someday, but only for the aps - I can't imagine calling on that thing. I don't call that much as it is, so it'd likely be a dumb vanity purchase.

I think I've derailed this conversation, lol! Didn't mean to, I swear! Back on topic - I don't have a front doorbell, the house came half broken and we haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. Which doesn't matter much since we find people always go around to the back and, low and behold, that has a working doorbell! Go fig, lol.

No, I'm not. It is just easier to decide to do other stuff, when there isn't a telly to lounge in front of.

I know, I used to have one.

 

[Hey_Laaaaaady!]

I don't own:

-any type of social networking account, including Twitter
-any iTechnology
-hoodies
-skinny jeans
-moon boots (otherwise known as Uggs)
-video games
-oversized metallic purses
-texting, camera or videos on my cell phone
-acrylic nails or any other sort of fake body part
-anything that remotely resembles an article of clothing from Hollister, A&E, etc.
-oversized sunglasses
-tattoos or piercings (including ears--I always thought it would hurt too much)
-sweats
-any type of "sporty trendy" clothing
-cable TV (paying $30 a month just for TCM doesn't cut it, even for me)
-a hair straightener
-a blow dryer
-a curling iron
-GPS
-kindle or anything of the sort
-a wristwatch
-6" heels, or whatever the ridiculously high heelage is today
-a string bikini *shudder*
-"walking ad" clothes--for Coke, etc
-skater shoes
-anything that has to do with Bieber, Twilight, Hannah Montana, the JoBros, or any of the teen queens

I do like my modern technology--within reason. I own a computer, I have high speed internet, I have a cell phone (although it's mainly for emergencies) and I have an MP3 player, which I heartily enjoy. But I don't believe in taking technology to extremes, especially when it interferes with day-to-day communication between people. (Such as texting while talking to other people, updating your Twitter three thousand times a day--do people even read those things anyway?)

Hehe, no worries! I don´t really watch that much TV either, mostly because I enjoy playing guitar.. (I may have it on with the volume turned off in the background, but more often than not, I tend to forget about the tv altogether )
