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!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor and bubbled by FairyFindings
….and the world’s your oyster….
Today’s tune of the day: “One Night in Bangkok,” by Murray Head, from “Chess: The Musical.”
You’re laughing at the 80s cheesiness. But you can’t help liking it at the same time. Go ahead, admit it…
HELL. FREAKING. YEAH!
And now I miss marching band & the Silver Regiment….sigh….oh well…guess I’ll just watch the video, again. ~grin~
(yes….way back in the day, shortly after fire was discovered, I played clarinet & saxophone. I was very popular at the campfires, after the roasted woolly mammoth had been served.)
The Band Perry - If I Die Young (by TheBandPerryVEVO)
Not sure why, but I find I am incredibly drawn to this song - I find it strangely comforting - I know a lot of people focus on the death message, but I find myself focusing on the alternate message - we should make sure we live our lives, not just walk through it - if you do that, then you’ll get just enough time…and when you walk away, you do it on your own terms, knowing you’ve truly experienced your Life, and enriched the lives around you.
“a penny for my thoughts, oh no, I’ll sell them for a dollar….”
Escape the Fate - Gorgeous Nightmare (by EscapeTheFateVEVO)
OH. MY. BLOODY. GODDESS. I adore the video and the song. MUST HAVE MORE!!!
it’s a geek thing….watch the whole video & you’ll understand why the geeks are posting this one…..LOL
Shirley Bassey - GET THE PARTY STARTED - Music Video (via dameshirley)
yep, you read it right…Shirley Bassey doing a Pink cover….and the video looks like Shirley spent some time hanging with Amy Lee and Evanescence….it’s quite cool :D
I ADORE the new song by P!nk, Raise Your Glass. The video is the cherry on top of this freaky musical sundae.
So turn it up, and raise your glass with me, all you other nitty gritty dirty little freaks!
