I am not even close to being a geek but my life is cram packed filled with them. ML...major geek...Trustworthy...total geek...and this geekness has even been passed down to the next generation..nephew M is coming along nicely in his geekdom. lol. Honestly its almost like a geek convention my life! And thankfully the geeks that I love are a good bunch and don't hold my non-geekness against me as I couldn't even pretend to be in touch with my geekside. I may come out with the odd comment or quote that gets me geek points...but that is about it.

uh huh..sure do!

It's my love and respect for these folks that has me joining in on the geek holiday of May the Fourth Be With You day...*eye rolls* lol. And I have chosen to share something that fits both of the worlds...the cello for me...and the Star Wars theme for those lovely geeks. So watch and enjoy and know that I wish you geeks and non geeks a very happy Fourth. lol

Cello Wars....very excellent.

We are even having a Star Wars themed visit with nephew M and niece N today. ML has plans to make Princess Leila and Storm Troopers Cupcakes with them. lol. And no doubt there maybe a movie watched at some point.

So I give myself over to this geek holiday and I will roll my eyes on many occasions lol but I will be right here in the middle of it watching those I love celebrate.

Wish someone had told me that back in the day..lol.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your Fourth celebrations are going well..and if you are trying to hide from them...I'll be back tomorrow with a Brunch posting.

You can also find me on Tumblr now...yep..I joined finally...RocketandRosesVeganKitchen

Now if someone had asked me 12 years ago if there was the smallest possibility that I would one day be happily married to a Geek..well..I would've had raised a shot of Jack to them and laughed myself silly. It's safe to say that My Love and I come from two different kind of worlds..lol. But somehow it works for us. I wasn't aware when we first met a what a huge Geek I was dating. And then within a few weeks..it really didn't matter. I was hooked..My Love was hooked...and that was that.

We celebrate each others differences...My Love will never understand my love of rock music and the lifestyle..lol. And over the 11 years we've been together we accept and love each others differences. And I surprisingly even get some of the Geekiness now..I love The Big Bang Theory although I relate to Penny more then any of the others characters..wish I had her body though..lol.
I understand now that to be a Geek isn't a choice but part of who they are and I wouldn't change it if I could.

So to that end..today My Love if off on a Geeky adventure with our pal D..who is also a card carrying Geek. They are spending the afternoon at the movies..watching Star Wars 3D...apparently this is a huge deal. lol. I was asked to go...but I respectfully declined. I never got Star Wars...when everyone in my class at school was walking around with Star Wars lunch boxes I thought them quite mad and I hugged my Fonz lunch box with pride. lol.

I have watched the newer Star Wars since we've been together and I didn't want to pull my hair out like I did with the original ones..maybe because I'm a little more used to such Geeky films now..or maybe it was because of this character...

Jarjar

.....this character makes me laugh so much and I think helped me get through the films. Whatever works eh? And when the nephews are playing on the Wii with My Love they too seem to love Jarjar too. Hmmm..my nephews are 5...so what does that say about me? lol. Oh well.

So I shall be spending the afternoon...quite happily not watching Star Wars...and hoping that they have a blast and have a major Geek Out. My movie of choice will be something more reality based like..Oh..well..Breaking Dawn Pt 1! lol.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your Thursday is good one..be it Geeky or not..lol
