Introducing Myself

Hello world. It’s me, Tabby.

I suppose I need to have a post for when people come and visit here or something. So, I thought I would tell you a little bit about myself! Buckle up kids, it’s a…well, it’s not a wild ride per se. But, I hope you find some entertainment all the same.

Well, the first thing you need to know is that I’m a huge nerd. I play Dungeons and Dragons, watch superhero movies, and read sci fi and fantasy, yeah yeah yeah… That’s all, like, normie-level now. But I don’t think you understand. I am a NERD. Let me tell you why.

At my wedding, I unironically wore Leia buns and had my wedding party use Star Wars props. I made my wonderful, patient husband wear a Han Solo belt, and with nerf guns we “shot” our way into the reception.

But perhaps that is not nerdy enough. I get it; people have Star Wars weddings all the time.

In college, I played on my school’s Quidditch team. It was all the rage in those days–for those who were both really nerdy and rather negligent about their own safety. I helped found my school’s team and played as a Beater. I wasn’t GOOD by any means, but hey, it was fun for a while.

Maybe you’re still not convinced. You have a cousin who played Quidditch and loves Star Wars. That’s fine. But have they done this?

Here is me at my local Comic-Con. I dressed up AS my Dungeons and Character, Lorien the druid elf. I made the costume myself. It took weeks to make, and I’m proud to say I’m quite happy with how it turned out.

Oh, that’s still not good enough, you say? Okay, how about this:

Yes, that is me. Rapping about planets. I had to do a project for an astronomy class in college, and I could have done things like “create a visual diagram” or “write a poem,” but no. I chose to rap about extrasolar planets to Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby.

As I’m writing this, I’ve realized I’ve taken up quite a bit of your time just to show you how ridiculously nerdy I am. So, to wrap it up, I’ll show you a nice and normal picture.

Here I am with my wonderful husband in one of my favorite places in the world–the Rocky Mountains. I love nature, I love mountains, and I love seeing both with my best friend.

I hope these little tidbits of my life were a source of laughter, of cringe, or even a “heh, I’ve done that too.”

Until next time, I hope all is well for you!

Tabby
