On geekery

You know what pisses me off? Snobby geeks. There's one that works in my local comic shop and I hate going in there when he's working. He always looks at me with this air of disdain when he sees my Buffy and Angel comics, like they're not proper comics because they were a TV show first, and that I shouldn't be in his shop because I'm not a proper comics fan.

Urgh! Everyone else that works there is really nice. This guy just clearly thinks he should only be selling a certain type of comic to a certain type of person. I bet he's the type of guy who is only friends with other geeks and is incapable of having non-geek related conversation

And another thing. Why don't they make geeky t-shirts in fitted ladies sizes? Dave bought me this rather awesome t-shirt for my birthday but they only had them in standard (read male) sizes so it looks kind of shapeless on me

( Piccy )

That was more ranty than I first intended. LOL!

Interesting

Apparently snobby comic geek is snobby with everyone. He treated Greg (who I would call a proper comics geek) with the same air of disdain when he accidentally mixed up Warren Ellis and Garth Ennis

Wanker!

I am such a dumbass

I thought I'd be ok making my Asylum bases at work and I was...at first.

I welled up a bit when Clark comes to rescue Lex and he's all smiley and 'I knew you'd come'

Then the hug at the end *dies* I had to pretend my hay fever was bothering me in order to conceal my tears and sniffles

I am such a sap

Still, it's done now and that's the worst of it over
