My geekiness is my favorite thing in the world to talk about, so let's do this!
Top Ten Geekiest Facts About Me:

2. I read Terry Pratchett.
3. I get all teary-eyed when I hear the Shire theme.
4. I depend on Digg as my primary news source.
5. I own an album called This Machine Pwns n00bs.
6. I read so. Many. Webcomics. For instance,

Whee! That was fun. I'm passing the torch to [drum roll, please...] Caity of caity.nu! She's one of my favorite girl geek bloggers. On her front page alone you've got a birthday picture of her in a Nintendo t-shirt, a sweet picture of her Kindle, and a blatant plug for Flight of the Conchords. That's so much awesome I can barely stand it.
Feel free to nab this and pass it on to your friends, as well. This is a really cool award and I want to see it all over the blogosphere.
Have a great weekend everyone, and DFTBA.
Isn't Angela awesome for making this?
ReplyDeleteAnd Re: #7-9 what kind of geek wouldn't know those things? I mean, Miyazaki, boron, life, (and aether for those Aristotelians out there), and cutting your enemies in a silent spell? What else is there to know? (I used to LIVE at the HP Lexicon, btw).
Awww, glad you like and you both are so sweet!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, YAY more Harry Potter fan(atics)!!! I too was at the HP Lexicon all the time. For RP and for fanfiction!!!
And yay, more web comics for me to read! ^_^
I love your facts! I totally giggled at number 4 because my husband and I just send each other articles all day through digg, hahaha. We are dorks. I've been using digg so long that my username is "caitlin." HA! Might have to steal that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the award! I'm flattered! :)
Love the Cowboy Bebop dog even though have never seen the show. You sound all kinds of awesome.:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the name for the dog!
ReplyDeleteMy old roommate from college got a corgi last summer - kinda surprised she didn't name him Ein, as she too loves the anime classics like Cowboy Bebop and Trigun!
Geek Girls Rule!
ReplyDeleteI love nerdy girls and think the world would be better off if there were more of you.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, some of those webcomics you mentioned are my absolute favorites. Saturday Morning is awesome, as is Questionable Content. I hope you also follow Dr. McNinja and A Softer World.
Please forgive me for not commenting back fast enough as work and friends got in the way. But, in response to your comment on my last post, I present you with the HIGHEST of fives! **Internet high five!**
After reading that list, I can confidently say that you are a blogger after my own heart!
ReplyDelete@Kara, @Angela - I have to admit that between the three of us, I'm the lightweight geek -- you guys put me to shame! (And I mean that in a really, really, good way :D)
ReplyDelete@Caity - You're very welcome! Also: Matt and I sometimes have gmail chats consisting solely of Digg links. I definitely can relate.
@Sadako - Ein was really the main appeal of the show for me at first. Matt was like "you wanna watch this space western anime?" and I was like "meh." and then he was like "there's a cute dog in it" and I was like "LET'S DO THIS."
@Angel - I agree 100%! Nerd Girls rock. And I LOVE A Softer World, Joey Comeau came to my college campus and I kind of have a crush on him now. And I'm checking out Dr. McNinja right now.
@Jas - Yessssssssss. Mission. Accomplished.
Caity is an awesome geeky blogging girl!
ReplyDeleteOh girllll I love Cyanide and Happiness! I got to meet them (by 'them' i mean the creators, but...them) at Comic-con last year and they're so freakin awesome. And uh...one of them is really cute aha.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to check out the others you posted! I really dig xkcd, too.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea
ReplyDeleteshell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
