Statistical Which Character Personality Quiz
Full Results I first saw this floating around Facebook, but didn’t pay much mind to it until I saw it floating around the blogosphere. Endalia was kind enough to link it in the Blaugust Discord, so I saved it for a rainy day. Today is that rainy day. You can take the personality test for yourself here. You can find my full results here. I’m only going to post my top 10 from the full results, and then dive into some of my favorite fandoms! Willow Rosenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer): 79% Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter): 75% Donna Moss (The West Wing): 75% Kaylee Frye (Firefly + Serenity): 75% Alice…

Neutral Good
This is post 30 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! An impromoptu prompt that went through Blaugust recently was that of taking the D&D Alignment test as yourself to see what results you garnered. If I have tracked it correctly, it all stemmed from Eldaeriel‘s post a few days ago. When I took the test, I ended up with the Neutral Good alignment. The quiz states: A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them.…

DragonCon 2015 Hype
This is post 28 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! Every Labor Day Weekend in Atlanta, there’s this thing called DragonCon. It’s a multi-genre convention that covers various geek-related tracks. It’s fun, but it’s no PAX (they really could use some more gaming stuff! 😉 ). Regardless, I’m really excited for it this year. Chaide and I are able to attend for a change (finances have kept us from doing so in the past), and we live close enough to take the train into the city for a change. The train is also supposedly free this year, which…

Let’s Hitch a Ride
Savior of Men, Chestnut Stonebough First, I have to mention my new unofficial title, thanks to Captain Codfish on Twitter. We were discussing hair dye/makeup, and a conversation transpired resulting in me “saving men everywhere”. So, he gave me a new title. @ggchestnut Savior of Men, Chestnut Stonebough — Captain Codfish (@Gamingwithcod) July 24, 2015 Which then led to this. Yes, it’s all in jest. But it just tickled my funny bone and I had to share. XD Five Fandom Friday Thanks to Ravalation, I stumbled upon the Female Geek Bloggers G+ group. They do a writing prompt every Friday called 5 Fandom Friday. The topics seem fairly interesting, and…

Dax’s New Body
A Rose Would Smell As Sweet So, to the horror of many Star Trek/Star Wars folks, I have created a new alt in SWTOR, and her name is… Jadz’iaa! Yup. Jadzia is (one of) my favorite character(s) from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. When I was a kid watching Star Trek, I really wanted to be Jadzia, and I got a little jealous when so-and-so marries her. Because who wouldn’t want to marry Jadzia? One of the things I loved (and still love) about Star Trek is that women were human beings–they weren’t put in just for flavor. They were an integral part of the show. They were just as…

Live Long and Prosper, Spock
This will be short and sweet, as Syp has said it much better than I ever could. But it hit me really hard today, to hear that Leonard Nimoy had passed away. When I read on Star Trek’s site a few days ago that he had been admitted to the hospital for his COPD, I was a tad worried, but was positive he’d be around for a while yet. It hit me like a wall today to find out he’d passed. I literally cried in my cube at work for a good half hour or so. While I wasn’t a youngin’ at the time that Star Trek was on television,…

KHHHAAAANNNNN!!!!
Image from Wikipedia I just wanted to remind everybody that today is William Shatner’s 80th birthday. Whether you love him, hate him, or could care less about him, he’s been a big influence in geek culture, and today’s pop culture. As a YouTube video comment claims, “This man will be the sample king long after Charlie Sheen and Vanilla Ice are doorstops of pop history.” Most people know him as Captain Kirk, though he’s done quite a bit more than that. Commercials, other various TV shows, conventions, and even guest-spots on geeky shows and movies (such as Fanboys), and more. To celebrate The Shat, I leave you with a classic.…

Trek Geekiness
We interrupt your regularly scheduled randomness for some Star Trek geekiness! I added Star Trek.com on Facebook a while back. While I don’t really use Facebook much, except to keep in contact with a few friends, I thought it would be cool to “Like” and follow one of my favorite series. While I like most of the Star Trek series (Voyager never sat right with me… Janeway needed a lot more oomph), my absolute favorite was Deep Space Nine. Seven seasons of glory… or allegory. Whichever you choose. But, it is still my favorite, regardless. Anyway, as I was browsing through Facebook seeing the Christmas updates people had made, I…

Dragon*Con 2010 – Highlights
I went to my second Dragon*Con ever this year. My first (of many to come) with the Elephant. After waiting in line for almost three hours on Saturday (and missing one of the panels I really wanted to see), we ended up with pre-regs for next year and three day passes (which were mistakes, but who’s complaining?!). Here’s some highlights of this year! Being able to spend an amazing Saturday and Monday being geeky with the Elephant. That’s the biggest highlight. 🙂 Some of the cosplays: Gumby; Jay, Silent Bob and Buddy Jesus (with a farewell l’chaim); Jesus Christ Superstar; Lego Slave Leia (yes–really), Charlie Chaplin; Aang; a Cylon; and…
