Is "cool geek" an oxymoron? Well, when someone like me talks about themselves on a "normal" site, I would play down the geekiness. Don't want to scare the “straights” right away. So, how do I describe myself among “my people?” I guess honestly and start at the beginning.
I consider myself a sci-fi geek, and I don’t like to go too much beyond that. I was a Trekkie, a wannabe Jedi, and a Viper pilot on the original BSG, but since I like it all, I just stick with sci-fi geek.

I am a Christian, and very dedicated to my church family. I always try to see the good and, especially, the funny in any situation.
Well, if you want to know more about me, I guess you are just going to have to drop me an email and actually “ta
