The Geek World
I know I am a nerd of a certain degree.

Jeff recently sent me the cartoon Home on the Strange and reading it has given me a lot to consider. I read through the archives and found it really very funny. A lot of it I could relate to in our relationship and some I read with big question marks going off in my head.I am often amused and not always quiet about the things our friends are interested in. I tend to make fun of it mostly out of not understanding it. I am my geek in my own way, about cooking and certain books and old movies which I love most of all. Sometimes when we are talking or playing I feel so out of my depth and sometimes not interested but what I find most fascinating is the history that they all have with each other and with the interests they share.

It kind of hit me this weekend at the convention I was looking around at the crowds and seeing people I recognized from other conventions. I remembered the first convention Jeff invited me to eight years ago. Hee. Back then the only thing I knew of Dungeons and Dragons was the Tom Hanks movie. The only games I knew about were really Monopoly, Life, and various card games. The only role playing I had done was in sales seminars for work which I truly hated. I'm not sure how much of a true gamer I am now except for my love of computer games and Pirates of course even thought I don't really play them. I think I'm slowly branching out.

Jeff bought a couple of dragons this weekend and my little Godzilla. I was looking at his dragon and thought about smirking and then realized well hey,I have a very unrealistic dragon tattoo that I truly love and have had for 20 years, way before I ever played my first D&D game, so maybe I just needed coaxing for my inner geek to come out. I looked around at the room with all of the toys and thought wow, this is really cool and fun!
