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!

Possibly the coolest doggie costume I’ve ever seen….Steampunk Puppies! Tani is telling me, “not o n your life, Mom…” Hmmmm…Tani may suspect I have sneaky plans beginning to rumble around in my head for October…Tani’s MY dog, in case you’re curious. And even if you aren’t curious, she’s still my dog. ;)

a nice spin on wearing your heart on your sleeve…
I am in love with Gail Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate / Alexia Tarabotti series. She has a way of perfectly reflecting Steampunk styling, while tweaking the Victorian sensibilities and being true to her own voice.
This blog addresses the inclusion of homosexual relationships in her world. She treats it with respect, and portrays it well, as relationships over “lifestyles.” Perhaps best, though, is the matter of fact way it’s present in the stories; it simply “is”, without making any characters jump on a conveniently close soap box to proclaim, “I’m cool, I’m open-minded and daring.”
Minnie as a member of the Parasol Protectorate?

Awesome. You’re going to get them all for me, right? Mr. Disney?Official Steampunk Disney Pin Set

I would shoot the Garfield one out of the sky with my steampunk raygun.
I soooo wish Tumblr would give us the option to give more hearts away….I LOVE THIS!!! Steampunk Alice! I’d follow her down any whole, and twice on Sundays!

I love her steampunk rendition of Alice in Wonderland.
