Welcome,
I've created this blog as a space for me to geek out on random things that interest me. I have a lot of quirky interests that don't fit into a neat and tidy category so I thought "Geeking Out: A Sanctuary" was an appropriate title. On top of that, I'd like to think that this is indeed a good place for people to talk about things that are not that popularI know there quite a few closet geeks in my class so I'm hoping they'll come out and be free (I'm looking at you Julia).
I stole some defintions from here and as well as here to help describe geeking out.
1. To spend an ammount of time discussing geekish things with other geeks, or to participate in geeky undertakings and pasttimes with one or more other geeks.
2. To engage in a conversation of a highly technical nature, typically with some other members of the party you are with, completely (and usually inadvertently) alienating others in the process.
3. To participate in or talk excessively about a current interest or obsession which is not part of mainstream culture.
This one is my favorite.
4.To enthusiastically share details about a current interest which is of little or no importance to your audience.
If you are turned off by my blog already, don't worry it is not simply for SciFi related topics. To me, geeking out simply means that I'll talk enthusiastically about things that interest me even though there may be no one that cares. But don't worry, I'll get around to other fun topics like politics and the economy.
