I've Always Been a Geek

Although I usually characterise my early obsessions as cartoons and, later, anime specifically, I started out arguing scientific trivia with the nearest self proclaimed nerd. I used to argue about sharks and snakes at Daycare with a skinny blonde kid with glasses who seemed baffled by my insistence. I guess girls weren't supposed to know anything about sharks and snakes or care. I never really went into the sciences, but it has more to do with poor grades in chemistry and math than anything. No matter how hard I worked at those, I never got the hang of them.

But I still love science (and I'm an SF snob) and as a geek, I identify with pretty much all other geeks. Whatever our obsessions, cats, anime, a specific science, or comics or games, we're all united by having an inordinate knowledge and passion for esoteric subjects that make more normal people uncomfortable.



It's what makes us awesome.
