"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Like msbelle, I'm mostly geek adjacent. The things I'm really geeky about are not even sort of pop culture related.

Vitamix. Vitamix. Vitamix.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Crazy winds and lightning. Turned on the weather and looks like we're about to get slammed. Severe thunderstorm warning. I guess I'm about to find out how Frankie feels about thunder. I just cranked up my little flashlight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

See, I still feel I could never advertise on Geek 2 Geek because I'd be selling myself too hard. There are so many geeky things I don't know shit about.

They are fake cops, not even fake military! I mean, currently.

Well, Gary Sinise's CSI character is former military and he's in TV ads for the Army. Got nothing about Mantegna, though.

Those episodes CHEER me up.

The Body? For reals?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I didn't know his character was a vet. And, of course, Lt. Dan.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was sorta' thinking that while perusing some profiles. I'd have to immediately own up to the "not really that much into gaming" thing... and the "having never dressed up and gone to a con" might disqualify me from true geekdom in some eyes....

Well (as with anything else), those people aren't your match, then, right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

However, if anyone's going to be there, and wants to keep an eye out...

Remind me in July.

There's more than one kind of geek.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yep, "The Body."

It's so painful to watch that anything in my life going on seems not so bad.

I only pull that one out rarely. It's not pleasure viewing. It's like castor oil.

OMWF is more the usual thing, as it is more actively cheerful (in comparison).

Hmm. I think geek self-labeling is self-identication. I mean, there will always be an Elevator Lady, who will pull "Geekier Than Thou" card, but I think geekery contains multitudes.

On the flip side, there's always someone to point at to say, "At least I'm not like them ...."
