Gamer Girl....?

I call myself a gamer. I've played games all my life (Mario, Donkey Kong, Pong, Sesame Street Counting Game that I can't remember the name of, Kingdom Hearts, WoW, card games, board games, and most recently D&D) but I'm not the type of gamer to learn all about the games that are coming out and need to play every game and every expansion that comes out. I'm the type of gamer that plays games. I like the togetherness of some games, I like the solitude of others. But I always feel like a fraud when people start talking about new video games or a new RPG and I have NO idea what they're talking about. But I love gaming. I just don't immerse myself in gaming culture. Sometimes I wish I would, but I like just playing them.

So I'm gonna keep playing and being a gamer girl. Because, as I said, I love playing them and that's what a gamer is.

Grown Up Fairy Tales

I love fairy tales so the fact that NBC and ABC both have shows on right now are pretty cool.
Honestly though I like ABC's Once Upon a Time a bit more. Maybe because it's not as dark as Grimm, or... who knows. Maybe it's the writing. Anyway I like how fairy tales are becoming main stream and not just in the way of Disney. 

Once Upon a Time is clever in the way that while they take story book characters and put them in our world they don't make it to easy to figure out who's who. I mean this in the way that in the fairy tale world Cinderella is of course Cindrella. In our world, her name is Ashley.
They still connect it, ASHley, CINDERella, but it's not obvious.  Another example is the Evil Queen is Regina in the real world and in Latin Regina meAns queen. I love subtle things like that. Where you don't make the connection unless you really think about it.

It's a good show and I'm glad they ordered a full season of it.

There's also Grimm this season, which I'm still not sure if I like. And two Snow White movies coming out. I wish they would come out with something other than Snow White though. It just seems overdone

Is it really Ever Over?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 came out yesterday so I'm going to post a bunch of funny/cool or amusing HP stuff I've found online. Mainly on Pintrest.com. The best website I've found in a while to just waste time on or find cool crafts and suchings. HP fans are so creative.

Favorite scene EVER

I got my first Harry Potter book as a Hannukah present and didn't read it right away. I then got over that and read it and have been hooked ever since. I then refused to watch the movies because I thought they would ruin the books. Things changed but I learned how to take the movie as a movie and the books as awesomeness. I have been to two midnight releases and gotten the books on the first day of release from Prizoner of Azkaban on. I love how the series has gotten kids and adults to start reading again and bring sci-fi and fantasy back to somewhat mainstream. Harry Potter is just good writing, and a good story. And I'm sad that's over. But when something is this beloved is it really ever over?

This is what this blog is about....partly.

I love the website Pintrest. They have the most crafty and just creative things on there! A lot of pictures are gonna be from pintrest most likely. But I think this is awesome.

I got really excited when I saw this. Must make this winter when there's enough snow!

And these are some other pictures I found that I squee about:

When this scene happened in the New Girl I freaked and squeed. (I'm a girl can you tell?).

Graphics like this one makes me believe that not every girl thinks Bella is awesome.

This is just funny.

Who doesn't love Joss? Seriously?

MIND FREAKING BLOWN. Didn't even realize.

As you can tell I'm still trying to find my voice for this blog. But you know what? It's my blog. and If I'm all over the place, isn't that my choice? Besides, being able to post these graphics/pictures and having other people like the same things or even just smile at something I post, that's what I started this for. That's what I'm trying to give myself an outlet for.

First post! Woot! And the start of my non funny titles.

So after Much Ado About Nothing was announced via Twitter by Nathan Fillion and Sean Maher and a few other Whendonverse twitter accounts I follow at something like 11pm on a Sunday night I squeed. I squeed a lot. I retweeted. I commented. I was happy. Then I was stuck. Most of my friends (I said most Jordo.) have no intrest or not to the amount that I think of how awesome this is going to be. Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Sean Maher, NATHAN FRAKING FILLION(not that I don't get to watch him weekly on Castle or anything) paired, once again with Joss Whedon (do we not remember how AWESOME Dr Horrible is? and they filmed it without anyone in the industry knowing? MIND BLOWING)  At least not the friends I feel comfortable texting at 11pm on a Sunday night. Then last night I was at Barnes and Noble (I still go to book stores and freaking love it, how novel.) and a friend picked up a Torchwood book and just handed it to me, no words, just handed it to me. I grinned and did a happy dance in my head and she just shook her head with a smile.

So this is my place to completely geek out because I'm not always with friends who understand why I get excited about the new Torchwood episode or the fact there are TWO shows about fairy tales this season on TV (Grimm which starts October 28, this Friday, which includes writers from Buffy, Angel and X-Files, and Once Upon a Time who has Jane Espenson who wrote for Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Torchwood: Miracle Day AND Gilmore Girls AND co-created Warehouse 13, among others, in other words, the woman who's career I would love to have.) To post things I find intresting or fun or just squee worthy. Rumors, book and comic reviews, movie and game announcements, my experiences at cons. My background is in English Lit and I love to write so this is also an outlet for that(my creative-ness isn't always following me to the end of a story I write)
Things I typically geek out about:
-Doctor Who
-Torchwood (two seperate things. Yes I have been to Gallifrey One the almost completely Dr Who Con in LA. I live in Jersey. I've watched Dr. Who with my brother since 1989. I was 4. That's commitment.)
-New books
-Cool tech
-World of Warcraft expansions
-Warehouse 13
-Eureka
-Almost anything in the Whendonverse.
-Music
-Castle
-Comics
-New stuff.
-Totally unrelated things I can't think of at the moment.
-Felicia Day
-Wil Wheaton
-Fun college courses (such as Russian History 1901-1921 and The History of Children's Literature)

So this is my place to geek out and I hope you join me.

Enjoy.

Can I also say I think this is my first every completely public blog? Weird.
