…besides her big sister
Some facts about me and why I’ll always be a less than perfect geek
I…
1: Was never very impressed by Joss Whedon’s work
2: Haven’t paid money for a comic book since 1981
3: Haven’t read more than 1 or 2 graphic novels/comic books in the last 5 years
4: Bought exactly 6 d20 products…and 3 of those were the core books
5: Sold or gave away all those d20 products
6: Have never gotten more than a few pages into Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
7: Read almost no Sci-Fi or Fantasy anymore
8: Refused to whine about what was missing/included in the Lord of the Rings movies.
9: Thought most of Cloverfield was a waste of time.
10: Am pretty underwhelmed by most of the indie games I’ve seen.
11: Enjoy reading filksong lyrics, but actually hearing most folks sing them…no
12: Don’t play minis wargames (altho, I do like looking at the setups)
13: Think 99% of all recent horror films are utter shit
14: Only regularly watch about 25% of the sci-fi/fantasy shows that come on tv
15: No longer think original Star Trek was all that great
16: Never liked Red Dwarf
17: Still have not watched an episode of the new Battlestar Galactic
18: Probably will never buy another edition of D&D
19: Hate Hannah-Barbera cartoons
20: Want to slap the many geeks who think that the height of humor is endlessly quoting lines from Monty Pythons Flying Circus

I agree with #9, #13, and #19…but in my book Joss Whedon = Genius and Firefly = Amazing.
Well, to be honest, I thought Buffy and Angel were ok and would watch them once in awhile. But I found Firefly to be a big yawn.
That’s interesting because I always felt that Buffy was only mediocre and Angel even less so.
Taking the list in toto, I have to ask in what way you’re a geek at all?
Well, I’m a gaming geek…and I loves me some Star Trek (TNG being my fave and Voyager tying with Enterprise for least fave)…and I’m a big kaiju fan…and I like a whole lot of anime…and I like sci-fi and fantasy books/movies (I’m just way pickier than many geeks…and I love superhero movies…
So, I’m a geek….BUT, I’m a fan…not a Fan.
This comes across as the beginnings of a meme…
I’ll bold the comments I agree with, italicise those I’m neutral with, and leave alone those I disagree with.
1: Was never very impressed by Joss Whedon’s work

3: Haven’t read more than 1 or 2 graphic novels/comic books in the last 5 years
4: Bought exactly 6 d20 products…and 3 of those were the core books (bought too many)
5: Sold or gave away all those d20 products (hold onto all my gaming gear)
6: Have never gotten more than a few pages into Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy (I’ve read it, never found it all that funny, never got the fuss)
