Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
It’s me! I was a Fangirl before I even wanted to admit it. Liking what I did when I was younger was a recipe for other kids mocking me. Over the years (especially once I got out of High School) I embraced my geeky side. I actually met my husband playing RPG’s. I nominated myself because want to show my son that it is okay to love what you love and it is okay to be proud that you love the things that you love.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
I express myself mainly through clothing and accessories. I have a big collection of geeky t-shirts and now I have a lot of geeky dressy stuff. I would live in my Science Officer hoodie if it was appropriate to wear in my office! I love to cosplay with my son and we usually have a theme. We have attended Boston Comic Con as Robin and last Halloween we dressed as Star Wars characters. (The wig in the picture was impossible to wear.) We are doing it again this year. I can’t wait to be the Rey to my son’s Poe! I also have a lot of gaming books, board games and fun dice that get exhaustive use in our house. I even keep the first set of dice I ever bought in my dice bag for luck.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
“The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.” – Matt Smith, Doctor Who
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
My gaming bag with everything I need to run a good game in it.
