My girlfriend, for the longest time, reeled in horror if anyone called her a geek, even while she was in the middle of doing geeky shit. Then she started playing Magic: The Gathering. Then there was the video games, oh, and comics.
Lord, does she love comics.
I feel bad, because it's my fault. She was such a cute little undercover geek (that watches the IT Crowd... and gets the jokes), and now she lets her freak flag fly.
Just recently, she has crossed over into the realm of the... wait for it... hollllld...
uber-geeky. She writes a geeky blog about geeky shit. I know that I'm biased, but she's funny as hell, and has a really fresh insight.
I find it refreshing to see what someone who is relatively new to sci-fi and fantasy and manga and comics and such has to say about them from not being immersed in them their whole lives. Check it out.
That, and she makes a mean snickerdoodle.
-Mind the gap.
OH. We *had* to mention Magic: The Gathering?! Really?!? You're dead, Freeman. Dead.

ReplyDeleteNo you don't. Not even a little bit. Not even *almost* a little bit. Or half of that.
