Have you grown up feeling a little on the outside? Do you wonder if everyone else feels like you do? Do you spend most of your time enjoying hobbies that others find “odd”?
If so … YOU may be part of the “IN” crowd.
The more that I meet girls who are interested in the same hobbies as I am, I find myself astounded by how many similarities we all have. This was one of the catalysts for bringing GEN to life. It seemed as though all of my best girl friends were able to relate on a level that others couldn’t. We embraced our “geekdom” and found ourselves able to open up and talk about the things that mattered to us.
So, it got me thinking about how many others may be out there feeling “dorky” or “silly” for liking certain things when in all reality, they are probably part of our little circle as well!
How many of the following questions can YOU answer yes to?
1. I like Hello Kitty (or another Sanrio character)
2. I enjoy pwning n00bs (I know what pwning n00bs means)
3. I like Faeries
4. I answer emails with “I am healing a dungeon right now but, I’ll get to it tonight”
5. I would rather sit home and read manga/watch anime/sing songs/play games/read comics than go to a club
6. Most of my friends growing up were boys
7. I never felt like I was part of the popular kids circle
8. I like to dress up in costumes
9. I own/wear “geek” inspired clothing
10. I get very excited when a new comic book movie comes out
11. My family life is less than “white picket fence”
12. I dream about being a super hero
13. I am a ninja/pirate
14. I know who iJustine is, what a numa-numa is and that squirrels are dramatic
15. I haz loves for kittiez?
16. A fast processer gets me excited
17. I have waited in line at midnight for a new game release
18. I am proud to bring up my knowledge of “geek” things in front of a boy
19. I like taking and posing in pictures
20. I am artistic (drawing/singing/dancing/theater)

Actually, it’s a prairie dog that’s dramatic. If you watch the original TV show where he does the dramatic move, they say it.
But then again, I’m not a lady, so I’ll casually just walk away from this topic…*whistles and strolls away, hands in pockets*
