In my dreams I am an artist, a painter and a writer
A poet, and a critic and a princess of the land
In my heart I am a dreamer, a believer and a fighter
A dancer and a singer and a woman in command

In reality, I’m a reader, a gamer and a viewer
I am shy, and I am smart, I’m not nerdy nor that freaky
Give me books, give me movies, give me something newer
In the end I will always be the self-proclaimed Miss Geeky

Short version
So, I’m the self proclaimed Miss Geeky, blogging about all things I think is geeky: movies, tv shows, video games, books, but also events and other stuff I go to.

Long version
I’m a 23 year-old Dutch-Australian Computer Science student living in London. I’m in the process of finishing my master thesis on Emotion Recognition (as in creating a computer system that can recognize human emotions in videos) and hope to be finished soon. I was born in the Netherlands (Dutch-Indonesian mother and an Australian father) and have lived from my 3rd to my 8th in Australia (the rest of time in the Netherlands). In January 2006 I moved to London and for now plan on staying here.

Why am I Miss Geeky?
I’ve been geeky my whole life; I don’t think there has ever been a time that I didn’t see myself as a geek. Since the age of 6, I’ve been addicted to TV shows (my first geeky passion) and still follow at least 20 shows at a time. I love and am obsessed about movies, so much so that my friends call me a walking IMDB. I read a lot of fantasy books and I own more than 500 of them. I get easily hooked on video games; I’ve had my share of all-nighters playing on till daylight. So, is that geeky enough?
