So, hey. I first found FSTDT a few years back, and it was crazy-scary how much some of these quotes sounded like my fundie father in law. I wound up becoming a lurker for sheer rubbernecking value.
I'm bi, married, a parent, agnostic since the crash & burn of my belief system, and forever a nerd. I'm also a huge Mass effect geek. Seriously, it's probably not healthy. Just ask my Garrus figurine who speaks to me telepathically in Brandon Keener's voice when I'm having a bad day*, or the ME-themed shirts hanging in my closet....though it's nice in a way, because when I'm feeling nervous or insecure, I can pull on my big-girl N7 unders and ask myself, "What would Commander Shepard do?" The answer is usually some variation of "Kick some ass!" To which I usually say "(meep!) okay...."
I am also enthused to see the Shepard in the flesh (sorta) right here on the boards! lolz.
Anyway, I also have ADD and severe social awkwardness. The Internet is a fairly good medium for me because I can sit and write things out and revise (if I don't get in too much of an excited hurry) instead of running at the mouth in a nervous frenzy. I'm also pleased at the general atmosphere of this place, if I do say so myself, and I think I'm planning on settling in.
*this does not actually happen except within my imagination. I'm in my late 20's but part of me will always be a silly child.
