Geeking Out

For those of you who don't know me, I'm a Smallville fan.

Translation: the only one I buy on iTunes if I miss it but still buy the season when it comes out on DVD.

It started with Dapoppins asking me why I didn't watch Smallville. She knew I loved Superman and a good story. I blame her.

Ever since I was a young girl I had this thing for the Justice League, especially Aquaman. I hit the tender age of 8 and realized that Aquaman, with his dreamy, wavy, yellow hair and crystal blue eyes, went and got married to that, that...Mera broad.

I hate women named Mera Man. Or is that Mrs. Aqua? I don't know but I hate her.

All that was left was my 8yr old, soggy unrequited love.

Then Christopher Reeve came on the scene in 1977. I couldn't resist a guy that bench pressed helicopters and wears cool clothes?

It wasn't until my pre-teen years that the muscles and dimples were also a big draw.

I know, I know, I've been told I'm a geek. Whatever. If I'm a geek for admiring a man who stands up for peace, justice, and does so while looking fine in tights? Bring it on. I'll be the Queen of Geekdom.

Geeking out in the modern day/age has many more benefits than before. The contemporary geek has more tools at their disposal. This is beyond the poster or the lunch pail. We have IMDB, online chatrooms, forums, conventions, wallpaper, yahoo groups, video games, clothing, screen names, tattoos, bumper stickers, and a world of comics to fuel the modern enthusiast.

I can't wait for Superman twitters. It's only a matter of time.

Twittering Tornados, Batman!
