Although I'm a bit of a nerd, I am rarely nerdy enough to qualify as a true nerd in any category. The thing I come closest to is Battlestar Galactica and even then - I don't play the videogame and I don't care for schematics of the ships. However, in all other nerd categories I guess I'm still just a dabbler - which makes me an outcast even in the nerd community. I do hope to go to a Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con sometime this year and I will be sure to blog all about it [and hopefully I will be in possession of a digital camera by then to really capture the moment]. I think that will really improve my geek cred.
Although I like comic book stores I don't really read any comic books. I used to read the Tomb Raider comics when they first came out because I think Lara Croft is the most perfect woman ever and then I got into Witchblade for a while too. I'm not quite sure how I funded this as I was in school then and too poor to afford $4 every month for a tiny little book [in addition to all those aforementioned magazines]. But I do love many comic book characters and today I participated in Free Comic Book Day. Joseph and I got six free comic books to share. We didn't buy anything else @ Silver Snail except that I got two Hello Kitty charm things from the vending machine that I have been plotting to turn into earrings. All of the store employees [and there were a good number of them] were dressed as characters including a very impressive Princess Leia, a Stormtrooper and a new Joker [Heath Ledger style, I mean]. I like costumes especially when it's not Halloween.
[lack of updates due to crummy internet connection that i have no control over. they are written and will be slowly updated to ratchet up the tension. fun!]
