I have been a geek all my long life. On top of being just a regular geek I am known as a "Gamer Geek". Regular geeks love Star Wars (guilty) and Star Trek (I've been able to make the Vulcan "Live Long and Prosper sign since I was what, 6?); I was at the midnight showings for the re-releases of every Star Wars movie and for the releases of the crappy "Prequels". I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy at least once every year and I paid to have my name added to the "fan list" at the end of the credits on the DVD's. Game -geek wise: I played Dungeons and Dragons, spent many hours playing Tetris, Contra ( I still remember the cheat codes) Mortal kombat, etc. I have purchased entire gaming systems just to be able to play Metroid, and have now graduated to the pinnacle of geek game-dom: World of Warcraft, also known as WoW.
You know what I got MYSELF for mothers day? Several WoW themed T-shirts and a hoodie. After the kiddies go to bed I am a Night Elf Druid that is the head of her own guild and I run raids till midnight.
I am unapologetic. I am a geek. I love it.
This is a good reflection of a typical night in my house.
