I come from a long line of orphans

Actually, they're geeks.

I just sat in my living room with my teeny family, and my father was telling his brother (my uncle) about Galaxy Quest and Red Dwarf. Then my mother and father admitted that they are going to buy an all regions DVD player so they can watch the Australian show McCleod's Daughters (sp).

That's when I realized where I get my fan mentality. Though they've never taken it to the...er...extreme, like I have.

Also, GIP. Bet you never knew what I looked like first thing in the morning. My breath could take out a water buffalo from a hundred paces away.

No one in my family loves books. Well, one of my grandmothers read a lot, and my mother read stories to me when I was little, and my dad reads books about the discovery of the north pole and things like that. But they are not the people to curl up in a corner to read fiction.

I'm the only geek here. And I have no idea how I made it happen. Maybe because I was such a shy child that a book always seemed the better alternative compared to people. *laughs* Thankfully, my parents never stopped my reading activities.
