ps – I agree with rlfoster about 90% on the “Three Days of Snow” ep for HIMYM – the “We should buy a bar” part was probably the truest portrayal of men the whole season… because we’ve all said!

I've loved your insight on GOL and am now looking forward to your input here. To your point about being too girly to be a geek . . . I say hogwash. There's more to being a geek than being a sci-fi fan, comic book fan or any of the myriad of other "stereotypical" geek things. True geekdom does not know national origin, sex, race, religion or even shirt color. I believe it is Big Honkin that defines geekdom about really caring about something and being passionate about that topic. I say welcome aboard and embrace your love for pink colored geek within! P.S. - Some of the most interesting women I have ever met have been able to hold their own when discussing the social impacts of topics labeled "geeky." Nothing is more attractive than a woman who can see past the costumes and made up languages to see the bigger points sci-fi makes. Welcome to the team Kaci.

I love pedicures, shoe shopping and Sex & the City. However, when I sit down at night to watch TV it's Sara Conner, Smallville, Supernatural or Lost. After it's over all I want to do is talk with my friends about how awesome the episode was and they just look at me like I'm crazy because they have no idea what I am talking about. Don't even get me started on my Star Wars obsession. I'll take my T-shirt in pink too! I truly sympathize with this dilemma. I love pedicures, shoe shopping and Sex & the City.
