While there has been more acceptance of geeks lately (mostly of the wannabe fashionable variety if you catch my drift), being a true geek and a girl to boot still means being an overall outsider. But I get the feeling that that Riff is bigger in the US; I live in Germany and have at least 3 girls in my inner circle of friends that can Be described as geek-y.<br />I play videogames, RPGs and love Fantasy/Science Fiction as much as any male geek but there aren't as many of us out there and so we tend to be forgotten by the masses. But Felicia Day is working on it :-)<br />I really like your site which I have found today and will come back to. <br />Represent!<br /><br />Astrid, GeekAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318187171074555338.post-63931032381552330772012-03-03T11:23:44.782-07:002012-03-03T11:23:44.782-07:00Yikes!

I couldn't remember how many forsaken she was responsible for killing. I seem to remember her having a hand in Samael's death as well. Plus, why would she be PUNISHED for killing Asmodean? Killing Aran'gar and Mesaana, sure, but I presume she was ordered to kill Asmodean, so why would Sha'dar Haran be so pissed about it?<br /><br />Eh, no book's perfect, like I said.
