That’s what I wanted to be when I was a kid. That, or a fireman. For many years, neither dream was to be realized; I labored in the corporate world of commercial insurance. I decided, though, that you’re never too young or crazy to follow a dream, even one you had when you were 11 years old and meeting Andre Norton for the first time. I seized my opportunity, took a deep breath and jumped over the edge...and now offer my services as an online, virtual assistant and social sites manager to media geeks. I'm also back in school, pursuing a Graphic Design Degree. I combine my knowledge of geeky worlds and fandom, with the management, research, writing and people skills I acquired when working the corporate world for almost two decades. I offer month to month, ongoing services and a la carte project services to my clients. Contact me at GeekGyrlFriday@gmail.com to discuss what I can do for you, to make your corner of Geekdom better, and help you share your geeky goodness with the rest of the world.
If you're curious about what a chipper, geeky, goth gyrl might be attracted to, check out these links - they showoff some of the most commonly used tags that I tumble. So, as Culture Club says, I'll tumble for ya!

Geek Speak Blog (affectionately known as “GSB”) is a fab fan site for media geeks. right now, the two main contributors are doing everything (yes, I mean the kit AND the kaboodle) on a volunteer basis, hence the slightly sporadic posting schedule. But…the posts are great fun, informative and try to get the good geeky stuff to the geeks on the street. Oh…and…did I mention I’m one of those two volunteer contributors? ;)
Love the mod art re-imagining Rogan Josh does of classic, familiar spandex-sporting superheros. You can even pick up your own prints from his Etsy store. This portrayal of Storm really spoke to me, however. There’s a sensuality to the simplicity of the image and graphic contrast of colors.
Another stunner from Rogan Josh…Hearkens back to the early, pre-Dark Phoenix days - those ultra bright, eye popping colors speak to that simpler time for Ms. Jean Grey.

Always a classic…My favorite hero from the cradle and to this very day…
Spiderman…with great gravity comes great bruises….oh, wait…
Wonder Woman….MUST. LOVE. AMAZONS.
