Rebranding and what is new with me...

I have been a busy bee. In the last two years I have become something of a very minor local geek "celebrity". Being a flaming extrovert has also afforded me the ability to make lots of amazingly lovely and awesome connections.  With this I have also become very aware that... People know me. With this, I have decided that I should probably work on that public image and work to make my very minor fame. So, I am going to start blogging on the regular. I started a Facebook (Geeklebutante) page. I am going to link Twitters and Instagrams and things. 

OoooOoooooo, look at her.. she has gotten all fancy and shit! Yup! That's me!

What have I been up to?!

Well, it started when I moved to Canada. I became friends with the now defunked BC Browncoats. Which over time turned into NerdHQ  which is a local geeky fandom themed community centre in the Metro Vancouver area.

Through that... I was then introduced to the wonderful world of FANDOM DEBATES! Produced by West Coast Geeks versus Nerds in which I decided that I was going to be brave and apply to debate for their annual FEMMEGEDEON show! The debate was Samus vs Ripley.  I was on Team Ripley. I lost but I loved the experience so much that I decided that this was my version of becoming a sports star. I was going to do these debates by gummit! That night I also met some of the most lovely, amazing, kind, caring, generous, compassionate, funny people in the world. And that is when I knew that I had found "my people" and that Vancouver was my homeland. 

Look! pictures of me at West Coast Geeks versus Nerds Things!

From what it looks like, I am saying something very funny and breaking people brains for Team Blackwidow

 

I won a thing again! I also am dressed up as Leaf Mario complete with cute tail that you can't see 

Team Rocket Raccoon! WE WON! 

I also met, Justin, that night. After that, a while after that. Justin and I were talking late one night like you do, and we was talking about how he had started a new group that was dedicated to making geek culture more inclusive to women, people of colour and the LGBTQ+ community. I got extremely excited and immediately volunteered to help. With that I became involved with BC Superfriends. I now do a whole bunch of work and enjoy a fair amount of warm fuzzy feels about it. It also, because I am an extreme extrovert gives me a change to make even more amazingly lovely connections with amazingly lovely people.

And now.. I am just really well known for not having any shame, enjoying dressing up in public and making a fool of myself. I seriously will probably do anything once and most likely twice... and then a few more times after that. 

What is in the future?! 

BC Superfriends will be doing panels this upcoming year on Queer Identities. I am going to be doing that with Justin. I am also trying to get a panel up and running showcasing Geek Girl culture and what is awesome about it and what kinda sucks about it. I will still be doing debates because that shit is my jam. I did stage kittying for Geekenders which is a Geek Burlesque Troupe! and I quite enjoyed that! I will probably volunteer to do that again. Beyond that, I am going to use my minor local geek celebrity status to promote, connect, and entertain.


XOXO

Happy 10/10/10 !!!

It is the morning.. I am not a happy Anne. I worked late last night fighting crime ( not really, but it is far more entertaining than my actual job).. then the person who "fights crime" in the morning called off sick last night so I got to sleep at the place where crime is fought,  then wake up butt assed early, to do a double crime fighting shift.

I watched Valley of the Dolls last night.. and well here we go..

Neely O'Hara: "To get up at five o'clock in the morning and sparkle, have I, Neely, sparkle!"  Yes, hmmm.

And also..

Neely O'Hara:  Who hiding from are you, Helen, hmm?  The notices could have been that bad not. 
Helen Lawson:  The show just needs a little fine tuning. 
Neely O'Hara:   Worry, do not, sweetheart. If always get a part as understudy for my grandmother I the show folds can. 
Helen Lawson:  Thanks.  I already turned down the part, playing, you are.
Neely O'Hara:  Bull!  That crazy merrick is not. 
Helen Lawson:  You oughta know, honey, of the nuthouse you just came out. 
Neely O'Hara:   Nuthouse it was not! 
Helen Lawson:  Look.  You right outta hollywood they drummed! So crawlin' back to broadway, you come.  Well, broadway gos not for booze and dope.  Now, outta my way, you get, guy waitin' for me, I got. 
Neely O'Hara:   Switch from the fags you are usually stuck with, that is! 
Helen Lawson:  To marry one at least I never had! 
Neely O'Hara:   Take back you will... 
[pulls off helen's wig while scuffling]. 
Neely O'Hara:   ...  My god oh, wig, it is!  As phony as she is her hair's! 

That was Yoda, doing a dramatic reading from Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann

There is a lot of interesting things happening today. First off!

HAPPY 10/10/10!!!  so long and thanks for all the fish!

Adding to the geekery, over at my other husband, Wil Wheaton's Blog, Can one have too many dice?

The Answer Is: NO

This needs to be turned into a odd Michel Gondry type movie.. where the twin astronauts who arm wrestle in space are played by Mos Def and Jack Black.


! No, really it would just be like the plot to Moon!
Liddle Bruddah.. he is such a trooper! This sea lion is my second favorite Sgt. after Sgt. Pepper!

OoOOoooo Look Kitty! Cute baby cougar was born.

OMG, WTF, I don't even!  Best part is actually the headline..

Man falls in river chasing one-legged goose. Yes, the man was drinking.

also in the OMG, WTF, I don't even, Justin Beiber.. is selling his own brand of NAIL POLISH!!!

I just can't deal anymore.. Here, look at these women shooting rifles!
