I was watching the news the other day and it was reported that scientists had discovered some molecules that did not behave as they should. Meaning that some of the things we know about atoms may not be entirely true, which opens the door to a whole world of possibilities. As I processed this information, I got excited! It meant possible advances in our scientific knowledge as a whole, and some possibly really cool discoveries along the way. I’m more of a science enthusiast and I feel no shame in saying that.

I get such a rush from being surrounded by fellow geeks…”my people”! It can be a general geek gathering like Dragon*Con or a comic related one like the Motor City Comic Convention in Detroit. Heck, I’m extra down for getting with my fellow Steampunks at The Steampunk Empire Symposium. The thing is, in each of these instances, I am an attendee. I am present to be an active participant and observer, to take it all in for me personal enjoyment.
