Hello All! It's 2015!!! Which means a new year of Blogs! I've dedicated myself to cranking out a new post Every Thursday! If I know in advance that something will keep me from a post on a Thursday I'll try to get it out sooner. I may even branch out to other people to help contribute. Today's Post in honor of the new year is about Geekiness (hence the name "Geekery"). Particularly MY geekiness. I did post a little while back about some of the Geekiest things I do. Looking back now, I realize: I do WAY more geeky stuff than that! So, here is
Even Geekier Things I Do:
5) I Play Pathfinder
Ever since my Uncle first introduced me to Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, I have been OBSESSED with RPG games! I've loved them! So then when I found out that you can play them without a controller, I was all, "Whaaaaa?!?" It's been years searching, bu I finally have a small group of friends that, when time permits, we will bust out the 7-Piece Dice Set, a pencil, and some paper, and we'll play Pathfinder! It's almost Exactly like D&D, but a little cheaper. Now granted, we've only gotten play a hand-full of times (like 5) because everyone is so Gosh-Darn busy, but when we do I'm in Geek Heaven. I'm a Dwarf Cleric named Lothar. Our GM is new to the whole story telling concept, but is a BEAST! If anyone is interested in playing, either on your own with a group of friends, or with me and my friends, please let me know! The starter set isn't that expensive, and it's really easy to play.
4) I have a Subscription to LOOTCRATE
In case you haven't heard of the AWESOME-NESS that is LOOTCRATE, allow me to fill you in: Once a month LOOTCRATE sends out a box (crate) of awesome geeky goodness (loot) to Your Dor Step! It's a subscription, but the amazing thing is you pick how you want to subscribe! One-time Only? 3 Months at a time? Heck, 6 Months at a time?YOU DECIDE! The subscription starts at $20 a month and goes down from here, depending on the subscription plan you choose. Every Month, there's a new theme, and the value of the contents (loot) within the box (crate) is $40 +. They'll have exclusive, such as Funko Pop!'s, T-Shirts, and Official Licensed Products!!
Here's a pic of November's "Battle" Themed Crate:
I guarantee you that EVERY MONTH you'll get something that'll make you geek-out over. And, you can cancel at anytime! This month's theme is "Rewind" which will come with an EXCLUSIVE items from Star Wars, Voltron, a retro gaming mashup figure, and a licensed shirt!

3) I Collect Nutcrackers
Please excuse the quality of my pictures, my brother the photographer doesn't move in with me until this weekend. I, for the last 8 or 9 years now, have been collecting nutcrackers. I love them! I currently (after racking up this past Christmas) have 54 nutcrackers in my collection. I can remember the first few I got thinking, "Man that's a wicked beard and 'stache!" That's honestly the reason I started collecting them: I loved their beards and mustaches! The hobby just grew and grew. Now granted,I usually can't get them until Christmas time. So unless I have something that I'm just dying to have, when people ask me what I want for Christmas, I'll tell them either money or nutcrackers. For those of you that are also in the nutcracker-collecting game, I only have 2 Kurt Adler's, but I'm DYING to have more (He's THE guy when it comes to Nutcrackers). I hope to one day a) learn to make my own nutcrackers, b) film a horror movie with Joel about Nutcrackers, and c) eventally open a hotel that's Nutcracker-themed and have 2 massive columns out front that are made to look like Nutcrackers!
2) I Helped Fund The "Boss Monster: The Video Game" On Kickstarter
Boss Monster is a standalone card game that challenges 2-4 players to become videogame-style villains and build deadly side-scrolling dungeons. Players compete to see who can attract and destroy the most adventurers. But beware! You must make your dungeon as deadly as it is attractive, or the puny adventurers might kill you first! Made by Brotherwise Games, the game is up and coming, and is quickly getting more and more attention. In fact, now, after a highly successful Kickstarter campaign, Brotherwise Games raised enough funds to bring Boss Monster to digital platforms. Video game developer Plain Concepts, creators of Wave Engine, are currently hard at work on this digital tabletop conversion. I helped fund this!!! My friend introduced me to the game! It really is just a ton of fun, and the "video game" is going to be available on Steam, Android Tables, iOS for the iPad, and the Kindle Fire HD! Here's a link to et yourself a copy of the physical Table-Top Card Game;
& finally, of the absolute most Geeky Things I DO
1) I Have A Blog Called "Geekery"
I know, this one probably comes as a shock to you all, considering you're already on the Blog reading this *forced laugh, then awkward stare*. This has GOT to be one of the geekiest things I do, by far. And you know what? I LOVE IT! It's awesome to get to share these thoughts and idea's and passions with you all. I know that at least some of you like it because I wouldn't have gotten over over 1,030 views! I love doing this. Sometimes it's difficult, and sometimes it get's neglected, but I honestly am so glad that I started this blog just a few short months ago, and I look forward to Every post coming in the future.
There you go! 5 things that while most people would be ashamed to admit them, I proudly proclaim! What are some geeky things that you all do? Have any comments or suggestions about mine? Let me know in the comments below.

You might could talk my husband into playing Pathfinder. Although, he's really into Dota 2 and Skyrim right now.
