Geek Goddess

Brought to you by Mr. Goodhands, who christened me a Geek Goddess after reading yesterday's BND. Shucks, Mr. G, you flatter me.

The Geek Goddess is the woman most geek boys would like to meet but are too shy to approach. She's computer literate, linguistically nimble, has a sense of humor, doesn't blanch at the mention of a sci-fi convention, and speaks just enough Klingon to get by.

Though the mere fact that she's a female stranger in a strange mostly male land is enough to set her apart from the crowd (that, and the fact that she's not likely to be sporting a combover/ponytail combination hairdo), men really do admire the GG for her mind. She's equally at home discussing the finer points of The Simpsons or web page construction. A night of D&D holds more appeal for her than a night at a B&B. A GG will sip Mountain Dew or a Vulcan Mind Probe with as much elan as she would a dry martini. When she sighs over that sexy Gibson fellow, she means author William, not actor Mel. A true GG can fix your dinner or fix your hard drive -- probably at the same time.

It's tough work being a Geek Goddess, but I'm up to the challenge. I have a Mighty Mouse T-shirt, a pocket-sized computer, an extensive vocabulary of Star Trek one-liners and a shady past that includes dressing as Princess Leia one Halloween back when my hair was long enough to make those big ear-donuts.

Worship me!
