My name is Jane, and 12 years ago I was not a Geek. I certainly not "normal" but I wasn't a Geek!! I had never watched Star Trek, I did not know what a Stargate was, and I had never Battlestar Galatica'd. I had never read a comic book, let alone gone to a Comic Con. When I met my husband I was a goth dressing, depressive poetry writing, and listening to angry guitar playing women opine upon the inequalities of life.
My husband, on the other hand, watched Anime religiously, played Magic, the Gathering, and had seen every episode of Star Trek. For about six months he followed me into my world of black cloths and cemetery visits, before slowly pulling me into his world of geek. I already loved Star Wars, so maybe I was primed to transform into a geek, but now after 10 years, I am looking up patterns for Dr. Who Tardis Quilts, making a super hero costume for my baby and drooling over Firefly swag on etsy. I am officially a geek and this blog will follow me as me and my husband raise our daughter "Zuul" and live as a happy geek family.
You may not have been a geek yet, but you were awesome at being a nerd. THANK GOD.
