This post is part of the 12 Days of Geekmas.  Check out the concept here, and let NerdyAlerty’s blog feed your eyeballs as well!

So in today’s post, I’m entering one of the more challenging parts of the Geekmas initiative–writing about something I have absolutely no connection to or information about.  Specifically, this post is about the show Steven Universe.

I read a blog written by someone who mostly loves EVE Online.  I am not a fan of the game, but reading those writings of himself and a few others still intrigue me, even if the game doesn’t.

My husband a couple weeks ago lost his mind with delight over the fact that an episode of Doctor Who included a rhythm guitar in the title theme.  I rolled my eyes and smirked, but I get it.

I love watching people love things like they do.  In a digital world where “fanboy” is used as a weapon, I’m here to announce that I fanboy over fanboys.

…which makes me sound a bit creeper-y, but whatever.
