Mark your Calendars

for the Farscape miniseries. It's in October and I'm so excited! If only this stupid place had cable. Grrr... maybe if I plead with my friends and family they'll tape it for me. I suppose it's possible that there are other Farscape fans in my medical school class (so that I could watch it with someone), but I'm not sure how to brooch that subject. I imagine the conversation would go like this:
Me: "Hi, I'm a nerd."
Them: "Oh" (slowly backing away)
Me: "Do you like Farscape?"
Them: "Far- what? Is that the show with the alien puppets? I think my 13 year old brother watches that."
Me: *sigh* "nevermind..." (heads to social isolation corner)

I think boys have it much easier. They can be geeks a little more openly. If other girls found out that I have in fact played and enjoyed RPGs, I'm sure my girly license would be revoked. And then I wouldn't get to shop anymore :( There should be a secret handshake...well maybe not a handshake, as mentioned earlier, I don't really want to have any physical contacts with my classmates. :S Maybe there should be pins. They could be pretty and functional.
