30 Day Geek Out Challenge…in 1 Day

This week I found a 30 Day Geek Out Challenge and I thought, wow, I could totally do that! But then I remember that I work full-time and have a newborn baby so realistically doing this for 30 straight days? Yeah, probably not going to happen. So then I thought I would just answer all 30 for today’s post. Enjoy!

Day 1 – What was your first fandom?

Growing up I remember really loving X-Men: The Animated Series, any kind of Disney movie, and Xena: Warrior Princess. Definitely obsessed with those three.

Day 2 – What is your most recent fandom?

Hmm, I’d say my most recent fandom is thr Elder Scrolls? I had a late introduction and didn’t even play Skyrim until 2017 😱. Now I’m just anxiously awaiting any kind of news for Elder Scrolls 6.

Day 3 – What was your favorite convention experience?

I’ve only been to one convention. While I’d love to make it into a family vacation in the future, I remember my brother and I going to some kind of Star Trek convention with my grandpa when we were kids.

Day 4 – What was your worst convention experience?

N/A

Day 5 – What is the geekiest thing you’ve ever done?

Well, there’s probably a few things. In high school during spirit week we had Super Hero Day so I dressed up like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and carried around a cardboard stake and a vial of holy water.

Day 6 – What real life geek inspires you?

Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Day 7 – What fandom do you love that you didn’t think you would?

Godzilla

Day 8 – What geeky hobby do you have?

Do video games count?

Day 9 – Favorite anime (or anime series)?

Growing up I loved Sailor Moon. I can’t wait to introduce it to my daughter.

Day 10 – Favorite movie (or movie series)?

I could watch Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter over and over again and never get sick of them.

Day 11 – Favorite manga or comic book series?

I mean I have to go with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After the TV series ended, they continued the story in comic book form.

Day 12 – Favorite video game (or video game series)?

This is a toughie. Nostalgia tells me Super Mario 3, but for more recent games I absolutely love Dying Light and Minecraft.

Day 13 – Favorite book series?

HARRY POTTER

Day 14 – What super power would you like to have?

I would love to be able to travel wherever I want in the blink of an eye.

Day 15 – What Hogwarts House are you in?

Ravenclaw and proud

Day 16 – What crossover would you like to see?

Silent Hill and Resident Evil

Day 17 – Favorite video game soundtrack?

Skyrim, it’s literally perfection

Day 18 – What character would you like to meet in real life?

That’s a tough one. I think if I could only pick one it would have to be Hagrid.

Day 19 – What series is underrated?

The Lost in Space reboot on Netflix

Day 20 – What series would you recommend to anyone?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Day 21 – How did fandoms influence you and your life?

I think especially in my adolescence it was just nice to know that I wasn’t alone in my weirdness and even if the characters I loved were fictional, I felt like I knew them.

Day 22 – Favorite fandom quote?

Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Day 23 – Something you love about the geek community?

I love how excited and passionate people are when sharing their favorite things in geek culture. Even if it’s something I may not necessarily be interested in, I’m excited to hear about it because of how excited they are.
