geekgirlsToday marks Memorial Day in the United States. But two lesser known holidays are also honored on May 25th-- Geek Pride and Towel Day!!
So after you honor the fallen, wounded, and hard fought soldiers who helped us have the freedoms we possess today -- HONOR YOUR GEEK WITHIN. Oh, and don't panic. Bring a towel.
I am a Geek of the pop-culture and audio/video-phile persuasion. A movie buff since way back when, I enjoy the classic musicals to the best 1950's sci-fi to the landmarks in horror films (Lon Chaney, Boris Korloff, Vincent Price, etc.) to Star Trek (old and new) to animated movies.
I am also a lover of all things SHINY. Whether that's my trusty Macbook, my insane iPod, my flippy cellphone, a brand new Moleskine or Lamy fountain pen (not all things shiny are electronics), or a brand new pair of circular knitting needles with a stash of yummy Malabrigo yarn.
Not much into fanfic; however, I am a fan of Wonder Woman, BtVS, Harry Potter, and Supernatural. I collect comic books and my fandom has crossed over into prop replicas (Orb of Thesila, right here!), bookends, Angel puppets, figurines, a few bobble-heads, and anything else I can find.
My book shelf is crammed with Gaiman, Adams, Pratchett, Briggs, Zimmer-Bradley, Murphy and anyone else who can satisfy my urban fantasy, twisted world craving. My two favorite books of all time are "The Firebrand" and "American Gods".
And this is simply just the beginning. I'm also into pirates (annual pirate festival here in the city where I get all gussied up) and the steampunk flair.
I suppose I've rambled on long enough. Time to get our geek on. :)
