Well, let's change that with this group! :) When you join this group, you are acknowledging that you are interested in making real friends, and that it's okay for other members to contact you via e-mail if they think you might have stuff in common, and visa versa. The demographic …

We make road trips, we try out new bars, bowling alleys, restaurants, festivals, etc. There are always tons …

Sometimes being a geek girl is a lonely experience. It's hard connect with other women when they're staring at you funny because you're trying to explain your theory that the nature of a child's mutation stems partially from genetics as seen in Polaris and Magneto, but mostly from some sort of trauma before puberty - the time in which most mutants first exhibit abilities. Ex: Nightcrawler wanted to disappear because of his demonic appearance, and he did. You flashed 'em a little bit of your geek …
