I’ve always been a geek and proud of it. :) I’ve seen every Star Wars on opening day. I always did the extra credit for fun in school (ok, maybe sometimes because I was just plain bored). Knew all the words to all the popular Broadway musicals when I was a kid. Played D&D every weekend in high school. Cried at the ending speech of “Revenge of the Nerds” - c’mon you know what I’m talking about. And so on and so forth…I love that my geek passions make me who I am. Embrace what makes you strong, I always say. - Michelle Snow
