Happy Geek Pride Day

Today is Geek Pride Day.

I am proud to be a geek. 

I love comics books and movies, role playing games and theater.  I love robots and demons and dragons and strange time dilating islands.  I love vampires and ghosts and alternate universes and post apocalyptic cities.  I love sentient artificial intelligence, bioware, the internet and the underworld.  I love halos and fur, feathers and scales.  I love computer games, casual gaming, drinking games and interactive storytelling.  I love swords, slingshots, chakrams and the sword of omens.  I love dhampyrs, super powers, mutants and meta humans.  I love magic, and magick, and magik and Magic.  I love pigs, sharks, Ludo and Smokey.  I love making a run for R&D, hunting, accusing Ms. White and attempting to Kill Dr. Lucky.  I love city building, monster evolving, world conquering and fighting zombies with plants.  I love charlie, be it as a unicorn, a druggie, a comedian or a chocolate lover.   I love my Egg, my Rocky, my Kobe Beef and the Shrek to my Donkey.  I love worm holes, time warps, infinite earths and the Bleed.  I love drawing cards, rolling dice, flowing my River and pixel hunting.  I love higanteng palaka, kulam, Google and Little Big Planets.

I'm going to go wiggle my toes now.
