A healthy dose of nerd, geek and dork!

I'm at my happiest when I can Indulged in Sci-Fi, Fantasy and humorous related things and having conversations with those pesky intellectuals who I call friends. :-)

I'd like to think of myself as being my own person but I also like to relate to others so I'll sum me up by saying I'm part Daria, Part Jane from the best toon I have ever seen and a touch of Willow Rosenberg. So sarcastic, artistic and sweet...sometimes evil.

I feel my sexiest when holding a toy gun, sword, lightsaber...and I day dream a lot of being a hardcore action girl fighting off crime with my awesomeness or being an evil villain about to press that big red button *smirk*.

I'm here because I can post good little finds the Internet has spat out for me to swallow (like a mother and child bird) without hopefully being trolled for not searching Japanese school girl porn pictures instead and adding some serious topic to it so it gets the OK.

I'm no Natasha Henstridge and maybe I can't fix your computer all the time (It's not my profession but I've seemed to stash the information away in the brain archive from what I have learned and heard...Ahh, screw it!  I'm a Terminator that knows all! ROAR!*)

But I am good at being insightful, smart and of course a little unco. So i'm sure you'll grow to love me and my posts!

Every week Rachel and I attend a nerd gathering in Sydney that we call Mid Week Geek; at some point she ranted lyrical on her wish for an all female geek community and eventually Nerd Girl Army was born.

I'm a pretty hardcore geek, but I'm a goth, so I get to wear sexy boots, drink too much and play the bad grrl and no one notices just how much of a nerd I am until we start talking about software design and Sims legacies. 

By day I work in the IT projects division of a large Australian telecommunications company mostly doing enterprise applications technical management and software implementations. I believe in software quality and formal methodologies with a religious fervour and have worked in pretty much every part of the SDLC from programming to business analysis. These days I spend most of my time screaming at Indian and Singaporean engineers for a living. 

I don't really read Western comics unless they're pushed on me by friends but I'm a pretty tragic otaku and there's  no maid themed harem ecchi that I haven't seen... and have the collectables for. I'm also a giant TV nerd and spend most of my days with anything and everything playing on my home MythTV network. 

I grew up roleplaying but I don't really play much any more unless I'm at conventions. I've long since given up on CCGs and wargames because I refuse to pay for endless collectables just to play a game. I do have a fairly nice "classic" games collection though and I like to buy traditionally made games when I travel.

On my personal blog I write a semi frequent movie review segment called Non Spoilerific Movie Round Up that I will be continuing on the Nerd Girl Army and I follow up my interest in movies with a somewhat sick fascination with Awards Shows.
