It was 1980 and I was ten years old, when I played Dungeons and Dragons for the very first time. Twenty-eight years later I am still playing the game (and noting many similarities between 4th edition and the Basic Game, but that is a subject for another post). I somehow managed to grow-up in that time as well, and my interests have expanded into a number of geeky areas: astronomy, archeology, medicine.

I became a geek because nothing in the world when I was ten was as exciting as what I could do in the game. I have stayed a geek because I honestly believe that the world can be made to be that exciting, and we are just the group to pull it off. -

Hmm well lets see. I was living down on ye old Poligamsit compound, my mother finaly got us a television. I was 9 I think, , 1985. She watched this show called Doctor Who. She thought it was to mature for I think as she would not let us watch it with her. Course we sat outside the TV room peaking in the door crack. Later when she started to not care so much she let us choose some of our own TV shows. That is when I found this show called Robotech. After watching that movie and plugging the a tube from it into my arm I saturated my blood stream with geek.

I fear however that I may have fallen from Geek favor over the years. I now hardly ever watch TV, if I do it is just to watch a movie or a show like "Heroes." Granted I still own several Robotech DVD's and such, but even those I do not watch anymore. I do work on computers for a living so maybe that is a saving Grace? -
