Adventures in Geekery: V.1

So here is the deal. This past year (okay, probably more like past 3 years) I have grown more and more interested in all things geeky. I have always love things like Harry Potter (in seventh grade I was in a Harry Potter club) and Lord of the Rings, but I have discovered and a new and true love with science fiction, Marvel comic books, and Dungeons & Dragons. And that is just the beginning of it. Well I really wanted to share with you all that I have learned and become so interested in and so I decided that I could do a weekly feature on my adventures in geekery. Who knows, maybe you will all agree with me that these things are interesting and awesome.

So without further ado:

If you had asked my step-dad what my interest in Star Trek was 2 years ago, he would have just laughed because thought of even measuring my interest in such a dorky thing was just silly. I used to make fun of him all the time. But things changed when I saw the trailer for this new movie. My interest shot way up. It looked awesome. And it was awesome. So awesome in fact that two years after it came up, every time Angelo asks what movie I want to watch I say "STAR TREK!" I just loved it.

So I thought that I would start watching the original Star Trek series and may I say that it is quite silly. I have only watched the first few episodes so far (just after I started the series I moved into an apartment with no internet) but they are all pretty interesting. I have noticed a lot of telekinetic and mind control centered episodes so far and my favorite by far is Charlie X. He makes the best faces.

That is all for now. If you have Netflix and some free time I strongly recommend watching either the movie or original series. It's fun!

Till later,
Amanda
