Sci-fi Dorkdom and other random crap...

I consider myself a Glamadork and an in the closet punk chick. By day i'm this mild mannered conservative finance worker. I live in this small town in Texas that is the bastion of yuppy elitisim. I hate it. yet, on the weekends I am totally different. I wear skull t-shirts and lots of black. I like plaid skirts with black leggings and chain belts. To me, I've always liked that look and just in the past year I have had the courage to rock it.

Compared to the regular sci-fi fan I guess I stick out a bit. I noticed this at my recent trip to my local sci-fi convention. Most people think wrestling and sci-fi fans are fat, dorky looking, and weird. People get shocked when I can aptly converse in all things geek. They say, "but you look so normal". I dont know whether to be insulted or take it as a compliment. Someone called me a glamadork. Glamourous on the outside, but dorky on the inside. I thought that was cute, but i'm as ackward as they come. I'm painfully shy, I read a lot, I collect action figures, i know waaay too much about comic book characters. I havent always looked like the way I do. When I was in my teens I had serious growing pains. I was 300lbs and never felt like I fit in even though I had friends and stuff. So in my senior year I decided to loose the weight. I did. For the past 3 years my weight has crept up on me, so in December I decided to get on a diet and work out 4 days a week. I have lost about 50 pounds or so and falling, but I still struggle with self esteem issues.

I'm so excited about the new Star Trek movie. I cannot wait!! All of my peeps are wanting to see this movie too and they don't even like Trek. Hopefully this movie can hook non-trek fans.

I've been hearing about the new Star Wars live action tv show for about a year now. I hope they hurry up!

Hi Ebony, I think it's ok to be a closet dork. I'm not into the space cadet stuff myself but I am geeky when it comes to TV shows and things but also look normal (I hope!) lol. I wouldn't worry about your weight mine goes up and down to and I'm currently up. When you concentrate on the things that make you happy you tend to just naturally loose weight

Aww winter, I like your answer! You always have great words of advice to add to people, I know how you feel ebony, last year I lost a bunch of weight, and I've been maintaining for some time now, although it's time for me to just get my @ss into gear again and continue that downward spirl of losing-ness. And I love sci-fi stuff, but don't have many friends around here who enjoy it as much as I do. Great blog, thanks for sharing! (and I live in north texas, Plano area, so not too far, I went to high school in Mckinney).

Heya! I tend to try and keep my geekdom on a leash when in public. I can let it all hang out in the right company, but at work, well, I just lock the geek up Someone asked me the other day in work what football team I support, I said none. They asked what sport I watched. I said none...only the important games. I just like sci-fi shows and movies. Turns out the guy was also a sci-fi geek, but he asked the boring questions first to appear ''normal'' Oh, ok, I just rambled, I'm Mark! Glamdork? LOL!
