In response to John Scalzi’s rebuttal of Joe Peacoock’s verbal diarrhea, I hereby declare my right to be a “real geek” because:

• I like Wonder Woman, Batgirl, She-Ra and Jem.
• I play fantasy football.
• I heart my Converse sneakers
  
  
• I have experienced the horror of the endless for loop.
• I know what a for loop is.
• I can fix my own damn computer, thank you very much.
• I have programmed in Java, C#, VB, XML and asssembler.
• I think Scrubs, House, and Arrested Development are funny. So are the Golden Girls and Maude.
• I play Bejeweled Blitz, Plants vs. Zombies, Skylanders: Cloud Patrol, Words with Friends, and Angry Birds on my iPad. I don’t care if these aren’t the “cool” games. I like them.
• I like to read, anything from the Hunger Games to Catherine the Great to Showdown: Inside the Obama White House.
• I know how to RTFM. So there.

I’m a geek grrl. Deal with it.
