So, I couldn't do it. I left thinking I was gone forever and here I am again. Let's just pretend that after I last updated, I have been so busy with the toils of Nanowrimo last November, and I've just now found a break to return... In reality, I did "win," or complete, the contest thing and have a pretty solid first draft of a zombie story I aptly titled "Crazy Zombie Adenture Novel Thing." I was too busy in my excitement to notice I spelled "adventure" wrong on the winner certificate. Oops.
But there has been so much going on lately, and stuffs pending for the future, that I couldn't not come back. I have to talk about it all! If you look at the header you'll notice I've changed it from "growing" geek culture to "living" it. I'm done trying to prove myself. There are no credentials. Hell, Chris Hardwick of Nerdist gets shit for not being the right kind of nerd, whatever that means. So why worry about it? I'm much to busy enjoying it. I'm just going to talk about stuff I like, and if you're thinking that's selfish, then you would be correct.
That said, I'm not a big fan of my previous mega-update posts, so hopefully this will be the last for a very long time because I will be so thorough in resuming this hobby of mine that there will be no need to catch up...

1. I got married so Fiance is now the Husband. The wedding was historical and awesome, and being married is the bees knees.
2. I've found some comic & book gems that I can't wait to talk about / review. Gaaah. So excited.
3. Guardians of the Galaxy.
4. I'm back to some old habits, including Sherlock (can finally brag that I finished reading A Study in Scarlet, which I started at least a year ago...geez.), playing Civ5 waaaay to much, and wishing I had more time for WOW (can't wait for this fall!), and contemplating working out (which I am DONE talking about. You don't care, I don't care. Just whatever. Boo.)
5. I think that's everything?? There was a World Cup this summer, so I'm missing memory of like 4 solid weeks of this year, because that was all I did and it's one big blur. And I've been on the road quite a bit too, so that doesn't help.
Yay!
