I have damned good friends. Lithera picked up copies of the FCBD issue of Chance, as well as issue #5, while she was at ComicCon, and I have just received a big box full of those and other extremely splendid things, including a STRANGERS IN PARADISE canvas bag.
Which reminded me that I was thinking a couple days ago about how many of my belongings subtly or not-so-subtly inform the world that I’m a geek. I’ve got another tote bag that’s a Browncoats mail bag. All of my coats have at least one Rogue pin on them, and sometimes have other geek symbols as well-the Highlander Watchers’ symbol, for example, or my pink-lightsabre, breast-cancer-fighting Jedi knight pin. I have, since I was a teen, painted comic figures on my jeans jackets. Lots of stuff like that.
So I just thought, “Geeks, represent!” quite cheerfully when I got the stuff from Lithera, and now I’m all chortling at that phrase and trying to think of a proper symbol for it. :)
