I've been the geekiest of the geeks this week and it's been great. I think much as I might try to claim I've changed I'm still pretty much the same as I was at 14. Actually I'm starting to think that if I try to look at my life through the eyes of my 14 year old self I'd be pretty chuffed.

Now I'm up to speed as well and have begun my life as VM forum whore. I was amused but not really suprised to find that pretty much like any fandom ever - the only thing that VM fans have in common with one another is how much they hate VM. It's kinda depressing.
I have to say I really liked the spit and eggs episode. The one were Mercer got nabbed.
