8. A Different World for every G.G:

From Sara Hunt:
A few more for the road:
  • Girl Geeks collate papers and do filing for fun.
  • We enjoy the difference between DVD and BluRay.
  • Girl Geeks know what DVD, USB, HDD, PC, FCC, CD, LP, mAh, NiMH, Li-Ion, NiCd, and all those other acronyms stand for.
  • Girl geeks red online comics like Red vs. Blue, Penny Arcade, and +1.
  • Girl geeks shop at Jinx, NorthernSun, RoosterTeeth, and sometimes ThinkGeek.
  • Geeky chicks often use "..." way way too much.
  • We are not afraid to fall asleep during a good book, with our glasses on and the book imprint on our face most of the next day.
  • Girl Geeks sometimes go through many pairs of glasses a year because they forget to take them off. Even in the shower.
  • We know the difference between Dorks and Geeks and that some of us are both.
  • Girl geeks own computers on a ratio of 3:1 (3 computers to every one person in the house).
  • Girl geeks love PowerPoints. But still resist all things Microsoft.
  • We love to Google, Wikipedia, and IMdB things, people, places, music, and movies.

hooray for hotsopt shield! i can finally use wikipedia from here! and hooray for the fact that they have a version in mandarin. makes some cumbersome explanations MUCH easier.

i think the iMDB link on my toolbar might be clicked more often than anything else...

the thing in harry potter that i am most envious of is being able to swish your wand and say 'reparo' and fix your glasses instantly. i have to find a way to get yet ANOTHER pair before i go blind. least i cannot run over them with a car myself here!

Yeah my glasses are currently holding on by a wire, or two. I didn't know wikipedia had a madarian version. That's freaking awesome. That's one language I would love to learn. It's so beautiful.
