Welcome to Double X Geeks!
For details about this blog, check out my about page. I have a links page too for my more random crap.

I was going to talk about geek crafting, but I think I’ll delve into my past a little and share with all of you how became a double x geek.I was the weird kid in school. Of course I was! The one who’d rather hang out with her teachers and would start talking about cytoplasms and warp core engines in polite company. I even used to do math problems for fun! Luckily I was so far entrenched in my own world that any insults I received never made it to my brain, and being female bullies were less likely to get physical.

There was really no hope of me not becoming a geek of some sort. My father was finishing his PhD in botany when I was born and used to sing his thesis work to me. I’d go off to sleep hearing about hydrostatic pressures. I’m convinced my mother was the stronger influence though. Shortly before I was born she left her job as an electronics repair technician (she was the only female graduate in her class), and I was taught to use a soldering iron by the time I was 7.

I grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and my first celebrity crush was Mr. Wesley Crusher. Yea, what can I say. I wanted to be an astronaut well into my teens. I won silver at the National Science fair and have a box full of metals and awards for science and math.

Now I am queen geek, and run a geek society in my city. I work as a free lance web and graphic designer, and am currently in school doing website admin.
