Name of Fangirl: Kim
Fangirl’s Occupation: Public Safety
What is her Fangirl interest?
Star Wars (!!!), Star Trek, Sherlock, Supernatural, Once Upon a Time, Disney, Marvel Comics (favorite hero is Hawkeye and she is a HUGE shipper of Clintasha), Firefly, Japanese Animation (e.g. Full Metal Alchemist, Ouran High School) and Doctor Who.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Kim only takes one vacation a year, and she saves up all her benefit time so that she can support the Phoenix Comic Convention as a volunteer full time. She is an avid tumblr contributor to all of her fandoms, and although she loved extended universe (read all the books) within Star Wars, she is excited about the newest installment. Bonus points for her being very tolerant and supportive of my Anakin-Padme obsession while everyone just rolls their eyes. She is open, fun-loving and supports gender equality in supporting, loving, and participating in the science fiction community. Doesn’t hurt that she’s also the most jovial and entertaining person you’ll ever meet. 🙂
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
She tries to slip in Obi-Wan/Anakin quotes in normal conversation every day – always striving to play the Obi-Wan role, but always being turned into Anakin. She expresses herself by sporting the attire as a civilian, dressing up for Comic Con, buying all the art she can to show proudly in her home, and putting all the sci-fi bells and whistles on her car (e.g. car decals, changing the name on her license plate to a certain Star Wars fleet.)
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
“You’re always going to be too young for something important to you, too old for something else, and the timing is just not going to be right for a third set of things. That’s life, and you can make yourself crazy by dwelling on that. Or, you can figure out what you are the right age for, and what the timing is right for, and celebrate those things. Where do you suppose happiness lies?” – Wedge Antilles, Starfighters of Adumar.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
