Thank god I'm a geek...

Cuz my childhood was full of this...

and..

Light brights, my first computer and Teddy Ruxbin...

Cutting all of barbie's hair off and playing with legos, playdough and HOT WHEELS (I still high jack my little cousin's collection)...

I had baseball cards an the most bad ass pogs and slammers around...yeah my case was one of the tallest..lol My favorite was the Gold Slammer, thick as 4 quarters in a stack and won almost every time because it was so heavy...

I was 5 when Batman came out and slightly obsessed with his gadgets...ok still am..

But more than ANYONE...it was THIS dude...

My fave part...

I often wonder about this dichotomy...us kids big and small that did/do not fit into the traditional labels and expectations. I noticed it especially this Halloween from the shockattention I got when I bust out my girlie side, hanging up my hoodies, boots and sneaks for titties, gloss and heels. Or when one of my homey lover friends outright referred to me as "Girlie Mir" when I got UBER excited for Sex and the City.

For some of us, the Nerd chromosome rules dominant more so than the X or Y. We are androgynous and relate to eachother on the weird and the quirky while leaving the typically sexually oriented for the birds...

I appreciate that and my fellow weirdos...but I can't lie, it's also cool to know I still got it to cross over lol.
