The Geek in Me

Every now and again he surfaces...begging to be released. He reminds me of my desire to play video games, to watch epic sagas (Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Narnia) and to then go to websites and talk about me watching epic sagas, and to argue about epic sagas with other geeks who watch epic sagas. It's all complicated, but suffice it to say that I can't deny it any longer.

That's right, I am re-reading The Lord of the Rings. Walking into our library at the house, it saddened me to find that those beloved three books (four if you count The Hobbit, which, yes, I will be reading as well) have collected far too much dust. It's time to re-live my own life through Bilbo and Frodo. It's time to take out my pipe and walk around the house like Gandalf. It's time to start analyzing my own life, realizing that "it would just be so much easier if I were an elf." You are welcome to join me. Geeks need community, too. Just know that if you aren't participating and you want to track me down, I will be in Middle Earth, fighting for the free world, "Sting" in hand, wearing my Citadel ring around my neck like it's the ring of power. Game on.
