lol its quite funny, looking at the polls recently, take your stereotypical nerd and compare to the concencus of the users of this board.
the majority of people on here seem to be married
the majority seem to be of reasonble build i.e. height and weight in proportion
the majority of people seem to be in their 20's not teens
the majority of people seem to be athletic outgoing types with a life away from the puter .

lol and there was me thinking i was breaking all the rules lol. thanks for all the replies. its interesting to see just how wrong stereotypes can be.

ps forgot to add mountain biking as the poor specalized doesnt get out much these days :( excellent bike tho, reccomend to anyone

I'm not as hard core as I use to be just due to the fact that I caught myself buying about a grand worth of anime and had to force myself to stop for a while :)

Too bad I have no life, and I'm on the computer 24/7, or else I would post a hobby.

When I can pry myself away from this one-eyed-monster I can usually be found racing motocross or riding way too fast between the cactus in the Arizona desert.
