Nerdsplosion!
OK, so one of my favorite things is when my real life and nerd life get to collide and turn into awesomeness! This was a pretty good week for this to happen.
In my real life, I am a grad student working- semi-diligently- on my doctorate in forensic psychology. I have a masters in my field and a bachelors in human services. This means that I am very much the kind of person that wants to be there for others and help them in any way I can. I got to talk with a friend this week who needed that. And though, I don’t/didn’t know the particulars I was still able to leave him feeling better. Ya know what I mean? Grateful to be able to do that- really wish there was more that I could do. I plan to keep my eyes and ears open for opportunities to help more.
We also know I’m a bit of nerd, bit of geek… like my comics, my sci-fi, and I love my moments of fangirl squee. Well, for this grand feeling… this week I got to partner with new friend, Amelia (not linking to her anywhere unless she gives me the go ahead due to some of the content on this site), and work a press line for Action Flick Chick. The guest blog we are responsible for can be found here. We attended for the premiere of Spartacus Vengeance- I snapped the photos and Amelia wrote the words… Altogether, it’s quite a fun little guest blog. And a really great experience.
As I’ve written in the past, doing these sort of fun geeky events (of many different varieties) is sort of like a battery recharge for me. Studying what I study, knowing what I do, can be very draining both physically and emotionally. It is incredibly important to find something that recharges your soul. I love going to live music shows and happen to have made friends with many of the musicians that I love. I happen to love being silly and letting my fangirl out, so attending these events allows me the opportunity to detoxify my soul and release stresses that often we don’t know we have. I’ve been able to meet amazing people and made friends with many of them over the years. And I have some great friends that also enjoy the silly things that I do and thus can be counted on to run out and play when I need to. 
I guess there wasn’t as much ‘sploding as the title might suggest but… I’m OK with that too. 
LOVED the photos you got at the Spartacus: Vengeance red carpet. Thanks! So glad you had a fun time.
LOVED going! thanks for sending us- I’m pretty open schedule-wise these days so if you ever need/want, feel free to send me elsewhere.
