Dorktastic

[tzikeh]

esorlehcar tagged me with the Dork meme.

List five reasons why you are a dork.

1) I've been in fandom for 23 years. I went to my first con when I was 13 or 14. I got on a train from New Jersey to Boston by myself to go to a hotel full of people I didn't know. I wore a cape and black lipstick. No applause; just throw money.

2) I will spend several hours adjusting a twenty-eight frame clip of video for color, size, luminence, y-axis alignment, aspect ratio, and center. Then I will move on to the next clip and do it all over again. THE ANAL-RETENTIVENESS, IT BURNS US, PRECIOUSSSSS.

3) I can name all of the Presidents of the United States, in order. Because it's COOL to know things, dammit!

4) My cds, DVDs, and zines are ordered by genre or fandom and sub-ordered alphabetically. WHAT?!

5) I talk to my cat as if she understands me. I get pissed off when she doesn't.

I tag vagabondage, just_eunice, f1renze, sockkpuppett, and sisabet. Some of my favorite dorks.

You mean not everyone does this? Really? {g}

I can so totally relate to this. If I'm at the computer and the ferrets are playing in the bedroom and I hear a 'Crash!', I'll yell in there, "What are you two doing?" as if they'll say, "We're up on the bedside table where we don't belong and I just knocked your lotion on the floor. Again!"

I don't often actually get up to see what they're doing, but I'll ask, like they're going to really tell me something. :)

I totally love you. Especially for number 4 and 5. My cat totally understands me. The trouble is she refuses to listen to reason because she OWN MY SOUL.
