You see, while I'm a big geek. I try to keep the geek flag hidden when I'm with people who don't know me as well. I don't want them to think I'm a big nerd. I know Brainy is the New Sexy and all, but I still think certain types of entertainment have a certain connotation, so I hide my nerdish tendencies and play cool-ish. Even one of my closest friends thinks I'm attending a "nerd convention." And, honestly, that's sort of what this is.
Wait for it....
I will be attending the Supernatural convention for the next 3 days. And, yes, I'm super excited about it. And yes, I've been dreaming about it for weeks. And yes, I've been talking about going for even longer. Don't be raining on any of my parade!
But still I'm a little worried. I'm not going to like seeing other non-convention going guests look at us like we're weird. I hate that! Because, while I may play it close to the vest (honestly, though, what don't I play close to the vest?), I've made a realization. Everyone has something they geek out over. Everyone gets starstruck, or awestruck or just super excited about something. For a lot of people, the things they love, don't have conventions. Us geeks, are just lucky, we get our own convention circuit that includes SDCC, as well as smaller comic cons and show specific ones like the one I'm going to. How great is that?!
So while I'm geeking out over the cutest cast in the world this weekend, and you're busy thinking what a nerd I am, just remember that thing you LOVE. Wouldn't you like to be in a ballroom with a 1000 people who share that same love? Wouldn't that be awesome!?
