So besides posting for D&SL, I am starting a new blog called Confessions of a Fan Girl. It's not dirty or anything like that (you perv's know who you are) basically I talk about all the geeky things that I like and it's from a girl's POV. I love going to anime and comic conventions and I most recently went to Baltimore Comic Con and listening to all these dorks talk about comics/video games/books really got me irritated.
These were all guys that probably never have had a girlfriend or a friend that was a girl and they kept saying that we should check out all these things that I knew I would hate.
For example, I haven't been in the nerd scene long but I know that I am not going to say I loved the Wolverine movie just because it made a reference to some Marvel character that has all these powers and has been made ultra bad a**, like a male Rogue, which if you are a true comic book geek you would recognize that this certain character didn't even have most of the powers he was given. It's uncouth to say you like something just because it's trendy and you have no clue what you are talking about!
So I decided that I would stop complaining and do something about it. That is where the website came in. I really want this site to be huge so please come join, voice your opinions, give me feed back and let me know what you would be the most interested in talking about.
Here is the address: fangirl92183.blogspot.com and I hope you check it out!
