GurlNxtDoor (Me):
 IRL, I've been a nerd since I can remember, but I never fully embraced it until adulthood. I loved TMNT and video games growing up -2 things that were considered boys' toys- and I had limited access to them because my parents feared I would grow up into a violent lesbian for reasons still unbeknownst to me. I was born in NYC but grew up in the suburbs of Colorado. In high school I was a theatre geek and dreamed of the Broadway stage and the bright lights of Hollywood. And while those dreams still exist today in my nerdy little noggin, I'm taking a different approach to establishing myself in the entertainment industry as a (hopefully) wiser 30-something.

I am currently without a real full-time job, which I am taking advantage of to pursue my acting and writing. Like many other nerdy/artistic folks (or "nerdists" for those of you who follow the teachings of our lord and savior, Chris Hardwick), I do battle with depression, anxiety, and the inability to turn off the voices in my head on a daily basis.
  
Why yes, that IS a Ninja Turtle birthday cake.

Boyfriend:
He is the nerdy love of my nerdy life, and has been for the past 6 years. On our first date, we ate pizza and played Mario Kart Double Dash on his Gamecube. He's the Han to my Leia, the Link to my Zelda, the Wall-E to my Eve, the Ron to my Hermione, the Mr. Darcy to my Elizabeth, The Doctor to my Rose Tyler, the Cheetos to my Mountain Dew. We're so cute, it's sickening, really. And sometimes, I don't know why he puts up with me. Nerd lub.

Bowties are cool.
 
 And introducing:

  
Leeloo the Magnificent:
Boyfriend and I adopted her through NYC Mayor's Alliance program in June 2013, and she is wonderful! She is approximately 6-7 years old, and was found wandering the streets of the Bronx as a stray. How anyone could ever abandon this amazing little girl is beyond me, but lucky us! We think she may be a Yorkie/Maltese mix, but it's hard to know for sure without a DNA test (what do we look like we're made of money?) Whatever she is, she is adorable, and playful, and loving, and she's ours. I'm so happy we were able to give her a forever home.


Join us on our nerdy adventures!!!
