I hope this post will be slightly funnier but we'll see, I'm not really known for my wit...
There are some slightly scary realities that I would like to address about becoming a fully-fledged nerd over the last few months. These mostly concern my slightly obsessive personality and a tendency to try and ignore the real world at all costs.
Through Twitter I have come to realise that (mostly) sci-fi actors and famous nerds in general are great and kind people. I mean they must have the patience of saints to stand around and answer all those niggling little questions we have about this episode or that character, no? However, this does cause problems for fangirls like me... The first week I followed Amanda Tapping on Twitter she answered questions on her regular TappingTuesday thing. Well this meant that I spent a very restless night refreshing Twitter (I hadn't discovered text updates) waiting to see if she would answer my question. She didn't. But it was ok, I just thought my question can't have been that good. But two weeks later this happened again. And so started an internal struggle between wanting to be noticed by these actors and not wanting to admit just how sad and fangirly I had become.
My problem seems to be that I'm not quite willing to let myself go completely and scream "look at me for God's sake please notice me!" by bombarding all of these actors with endless questions etc. I love having a little peek into these people's lives on Twitter but for them to actually know I exist would just be amazing. Then the fangirl within me would be satisfied.
Oh dear.... what must they think of us?
