I am both Latina (of the pocha variety) and geek. I was brought up in a two union, working class family so I'm liberal to the core. I'm a lapsed Catholic because the edicts from Rome don't correspond with what I was taught in Catholic school. I believe in live and let live and that women have the right to control their own bodies and that gay marriage is necessary if we are truly to be equal under the law. I hate bigotry in all forms and am trying to speak up about it more often even though I'm not normally confrontational (I only talk a good game).

Douchebag is my favorite insult. Sonofabitch is my favorite curse word. Stinky is my favorite term of endearment.

My favorite book is Jane Eyre, but I usually read military science fiction, mysteries and even trashy romance novels as long as they're funny. Textbooks put me to sleep.

I like movies, but I love television series. If it's even remotely geeky and I don't hate anyone in the cast (I'm looking at you Heroes) or crew I'll give it a shot.

I'm old. I had an e-mail address in the 80's (an edu one, of course) and was subscribed to the Twin Peaks usenet group (and the All My Children one too). My first PC didn't have a hard drive. I used to be the managing editor of a a webzine devoted to geek media and got some awesome hate mail for my reviews. I cherish them to this day.

Basically, I'm a big old geek kid who, despite growing old, refuses to grow up.
