Expanded from my facebook:
I finally had a great topic for hand-written journal entry, then I lost all train of thought. Gah! Hint: Girl Geeks and how I am and am not one.(Also I feel that you don't have to be tech-minded in any major form to be a geek, there are several types of geek) Instead I will make a list of books which bring out my inner geek (this includes books I've not yet finished reading) In no particular order, of course:
-The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane (When I was younger my inner baby-geek had a thirst for stories of the Salem Witch trials)
-The Princess Bride (Book and Movie, Fairy Tale Geek is I. I have three version of DVD. All have varying special features and no two are exactly alike, hence the three copies)
-Cinderella stories/movies (Ever After, Disney, Ella Enchanted, etc.)
-I read 'The Scarlet Letter' and 'The Three Musketeers' for fun...in High School. (okay I admit T3M took me a few years but I did get it read.)
-I am a total geek for nearly anything Star Wars (with a few pointed exceptions)
-Stardust (book and movie, Again my Fairy Tale Geek Shines though yet again....damnit I kinda made a pun there didn't I?)
Fairy Tale-ish movies (Enchanted, The Brother Grimm, The Princess Bride, Stardust, A Knight's Tale, Penelope)
- I'm a minor Jane Austen geek, I've yet to read anything past 'Pride & Prejudice', and 'Pride & Prejudice & Zombies'. Although I do have a few movie adation of her work
(Clueless, Emma (Paltrow version which I just honestly bought for Ewan McGregor), Pride & Prejudice (2005), Sense & Sensibility (1995, yum Col. Brandon), Bridget Jones' Diary, and Becoming Jane a movie based on the book (not entirely truthful but I love it just the same.)
-Vampires. I've been a vampire geek since the early 90's (Gary Oldman's Dracula. Yum!). I am VERY specific to which vampires I read about though. You won't catch me reading and Anne Rice novel past "Queen of the Damned" (the only exception being Pandora. Anne Rice just lost her marbles where Lestat was concerned past that/). I loath the Twilight books, adore Betsy the Vampire Queen (the more recent book are notoriously hard to find these days though), intrigued by True Blood (I've only seen season 1 so far) drool over Stuart Townsend's Lestat and scoff at Tom Cruise's. And not to mention Eli (from Let the Right One In) could kick Claudia's ass.Moonlight has also become a much loved favorite as well.
-In fact I love most movies (or tv series people scoff at, hate or roll their eyes at (Marie Antoinette, Queen of the Damned, Penelope,Becoming Jane, The Brothers Grimm, Tank Girl Pride & Prejudice (2005), Hancock, King Arthur, Night Stalker (2005))
-Disney (nuff's said really but my favorites are probably not everyone else's favorites. WALL-E, Lilo & Stitch, Cinderella, Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time,Mulan, The Lion King, The Lion King ½, The Emperor's New Groove, National Treasure, National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets, Pocahontas, both version of The Parent Trap (non of the originals sequels) The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Enchanted,as you can see I have rather eclectic tastes and not too many of them Princess movies.)
To tell the truth I could honestly go on and on and on and ON all night about the many different categories (SciFi, historical, fantasy, etc. etc.) that I geekify about. And its so very tempting to dive into even move but if I did so I could be here off and on for days telling you what and why but chances are most of you know what they are so I'll leave it at that, for now at least. Maybe at some point in the future I'll elaborate more but for now my hands are tire from all the painting and typing , lol.
