#NotaDirtyWord

I follow an actress on Twitter, Kim Rhodes, mostly because she was on Supernatural, but that's beside the point. She's also kinda awesome.  She's a mom of a little girl with autism, and she does all sorts of advocacy for the cause.  She also dyed her brunette hair lavender and blue.  Not that I would go that far, but you have to appreciate the guts.  She's also a feminist and is all about girl power.  

That's not really me.  But lately, I'm finding I'm siding with her on lots of what she has to say.  Most specifically today.  She started a hashtag (I can't believe I'm speaking in Social Media words - sorry for being that girl!) for her followers today: #NotaDirtyWord.  Her's was #Unladylike.  It sort of makes sense for her.  But then she asked what everyone else's was and some awesome photos came pouring in.  It was all a bunch of girls standing behind who they were and owning up to it.  How awesome is that!?

I, on the other hand, have finding it difficult to settle on one word.  #Emotional was one I saw a lot of, and I'm definitely that.  But I'm also Geeky, Nerdy and Quiet.  I'm also not ashamed of those.  I stand behind them.  So, for now, I think I'm focusing on:

#Different

I have weird interests that range from scrapbooking to sci-fi, baking and eating to British television.  I'm quiet and keep a lot in, but I'm also incredibly sarcastic.  I love to read and I fall in love with characters I've never met.  I'm crafty, and get bored easily. I'm restless and love seeing the world.  I have strong opinions about social justice issues.  I just don't understand people who hurt others for fun.  I want to do something to change the world, but I have no idea what that is.  That's who I am and that's most definitely #NotaDirtyWord!
