I will be the first to admit...I am a geek. I love J.R.R. Tolkien, know what a d20 is (and I am not afraid to use it), got the Harry Potter book on its release date - at midnight, went to the "Dear Friends" Final Fantasy concert in Chicago, dressed as a Star Wars character - both for halloween and for the premiere of one of the movies, named my cat after an anime character, got excited when I found out John Crichton joined the Stargate team,...oh, and did I mention...I am 28 years old! This is the life I have chosen...and I like it.
I must say...my weakness is Star Wars. Growing up, my brother and I always played with our Star Wars action figures. I used my Luke Skywalker shampoo and even dressed up as Luke for Halloween when I was a little girl...thats right 'Luke' - I didn't want to be the DID. For birthdays, my Mom and Aunt Pam made my cousins and me cakes decorated with Star Wars action figures. I eventually 'grew out of it'...and was fine until I heard that Lucas was re-releasing the original trilogy. James, a high school and college friend, and I went to each of the premieres - and enjoyed most of it (excluding the Jabba scene). Since then, Lucas keeps releasing or re-releasing things that I feel I must buy. While browsing the web, I found that he is releasing ANOTHER box set of the trilogy. As far as I can tell, there is nothing new - just another way for Lucas to make money. GRRRRRR!!!!
So, here is where I draw the line! I may play SW tabletop. I may own all the movies - including the horrid episodes 1 and 2. I will buy episode 3! I even own action figures...but I will NOT buy this new package of the same old thing...hopefully.
OH...almost forgot:
Scary!!! Heard on talk radio - even though I hate listening to the conservative BS.
Well, time for bed....yay!
More geekiness to follow.
