  22. Garrison Transfer Complete - I moved to Nashville!

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Hawaii was really fun, I certainly loved the weather and the people. The plan was to stay in the Islands, but sometimes, fate jumps in and changes things up! My guy got a great offer with a Healthcare Company in Nashville, and they even paid the move, so time to transfer garrisons! It was a crazy trip, we shipped two cars to WA state and I drove my Mustang through the snow and over the mountains and made it to Nashville safely. We got are renting a great house for now, and plan to buy at the end of the lease.

     

    The Midsouth Garrison has been very welcoming! I look forward to trooping with them soon!

     

    Being in Nashville means I am much closer to the cons and shows, so I hope to get to meet more of you troopers soon! I plan on Conooga and Lexington Comic Con in March for sure. Of course, I am only four hours from Atalanta, so Dragon con is a must!

  24. The journey into nerdom... did you always wear it proudly?

    Hmm, my story is a bit different I guess. Growing up, and all through school, I was a science fiction geek. My dad was really into Star Wars and Star Trek...I'd watch all the movies and shows with him. I had my own Star Wars toys, which was considered out of the female gender sterotype at the time. I remmebr the boys in my neighborhood not letting me play video games because they were not for girls LOL. Still, I was not a tomboy at all... I'd just rather play Han Solo and Leia than Ken and Barbie. College and beyond was not much of a social life....I was shy and awkward, a bit overweight, frizzy hair and big glasses :) Rather than going out, I'd stay home and read books....I guess it was one of my roommates who triggered the makeover for me...she got me into fitness, eating right and working out. As I got in better shape I wanted to get nicer outfits, and then went blonde, got contacts, makeup, all of that....I got a job as a Hooters girl and really worked to overcome my shyness. (Those who have met me will tell you I am much more reserved and quiet in person than I am here) With that, my social life improved too :)

     

    So now, I guess I am not recognized as a geek because of my look, but I still enjoy video games and sci fi, i still read alot, and love all you Star Wars guys and girls. I would still consider myself a geek though!
