Welcome!

Welcome!
Welcome to my blog! I'm so glad you stopped by. I'm a writer, former dancer, and pop culture junkie who firmly believes in the Oxford Comma. I love geek-related things, but I'm not a big video gamer and I'm starting to suffer from Comic Book Hero burnout, so I'm just to the side of geek. Geek Adjacent! Please take a look around, and I hope you stay. If you do go away, please come again, and bring your friends! :) Feel free to contact me: camusr6@gmail.com.

They’re a great company with a good product, and they offer excellent tech support!
