Well, I've been struggling for the last couple of weeks with the issue of my own geekdom. It came to my attention that the cast of Heroes will be visiting Vivo City here in a couple of weeks time. The thought of meeting Masi Oka is enough to have me salivating. I imagined us both doing the blink thing to stop time. It was wonderful. But I had to wonder, at 28 years of age, am I too old to be going to meet TV stars?
I struggled with this, planning the run from work in the morning out to Vivo City and back to work for evening classes. If I did indeed go... would I have out-geeked myself? Would I be crossing a line I've been straddling since I was a teenager? When do you stop being a fan and start being a fanboy?
Fortunately the decision has been taken from my hands due to a work schedule change which wouldn't give me enough time to get back for my evening classes. This is all ok, as I go back to straddling the line. I can't help but think though, that I'll be missing my one chance to meet my hero, errr... Hiro.

Once a geek, always a geek. You can't grow out of it. Don't even try. It'll make you miserable.
You know that would have been a wonderful time for yourself to just indulge and see the cast of Heroes. I love the Heroes show. Although, I do agree with w-ko's comment. ~ LY
