Nerdy Stuff | Taylor Swift – Shake It Off Parody
Thanks to the AFOL Husband for finding this!
LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
I stay up all night
Playing way too many games
That’s what my friends say, mmm-mmm
That’s what my friends say, mmm-mmm
Although comic books are great [chuckle]
I need to take a break
That’s what my friends say, mmm-mmm
That’s what my friends say, mmm-mmm
BRIDGE:
But I keep geeking
out — I keep collecting
Toys, anime, comics
On my mind
Got to catch up on all those shows!
CHORUS:
‘Cause cosplayers gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the gamers gonna game, game, game, game, game
Baby, I’m just gonna geek, geek, geek, geek out
This nerdy stuff, nerdy stuff!
Binge watching shows all day, day, day, day, day
Sci-fi movies on re-play, play, play, play, play
Baby, I’m just gonna geek, geek, geek, geek out
This nerdy stuff, nerdy stuff!
VERSE 2:
Some people call me weird
That’s how I’m engineered
And that’s what they don’t see, mmm-mmm
That’s what they don’t see, mmm-mmm
I’m like a kid but grown (like a kid but grown)
I love the cons, I always go (cons, I always go)
And that’s what they don’t know, mmm-mmm
That’s what they don’t know, mmm-mmm
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
HOOK:
Nerdy stuff, Nerdy stuff,
All-this-awesome nerdy stuff, nerdy stuff,
All-this-awesome nerdy stuff, nerdy stuff,
All-this-awesome nerdy stuff, nerdy stuff.
RAP:
Hey, hey, hey!
Just think while ya’ll been walking around, thinking you’re too cool to play
Magic Cards or Pokemon with us, you could’ve been geeking out with all my peeps.
Iron Man and a… Oh! What’s that?
I’m like “Oh, my god!” I’m just geeking out!
And that lady over there with the colorful hair
Won’t you come and join us honey? We can geek the hell out.
[CHORUS]
[HOOK x3]
I Now Pronounce You Nerd & Geek
Are you lucky to enough to be engaged or married to a Geek? I was – 26 years ago May 21st.
It was the happiest day of my life, because when I was a newly-minted Star Wars fan back in 1977, the boy fans around me were zit-ridden and not interested in me. Sure, they were fans, but we were all too young to seriously think about settling down yet. I mean, c’mon, I was 14 when the bloody thing came out!
Luckily, Geek attracts Geek, and so when my wonderful AFOL Husband, Dennis Amador Cherry, wandered into my roommate’s home to scout out my friend Glen’s place for a shoot for his USC Cinema Television project, I looked out the window and saw his Ford Pinto. It was painted up like the the U.S.S. Enterprise and had the license plate, “ENPRISE”.
It would have been better if he had worn a geek T-Shirt, but this was 26 years ago and they were still scarce in those days. He took being on location very seriously, sporting a tie and jacket – a little worrying back then, but I soon had him out of his clothes…
…er I MEAN, he came to our first date more appropriately attired. We hit Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor and caught the midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I was the LOUDEST heckler in the room, screaming “NAKED!” during strategic times during “Damn It, Janet.” By the time he drove me home, I was utterly mortified that I had gotten so into the movie and showed off the insanely funny new heckles I had learned watching it in Berkeley, CA (Or Bezerkely, as the locals call it).
As we said goodnight, I knew that was it, game over, man. I had cluster-f*cked up this date on an epic scale…and then a miracle happened.
He came back for a second date.
I tried to play it a little more low-key, exposing him to Weird Al Yankovic’s song, “Another One Rides the Bus”. I was on the floor laughing – making a fool of myself, yet again, but again, it didn’t scare him off. Why? Because he had been out with the mundane – dated the Tupperware and Avon ladies and they were, in his words, “boring!”
Thank God!
So, he came into my life and I introduced Dennis to my new, nicer, but just as demented friends in a local Star Trek fan club. The fans came and went, but we still dated and eventually one of those Trekkies/Trekkers became a guest at our wedding and is still local, alive and a friend we see at the Gallifrey One convention every year – Jennifer Cole.
So to all the Geek Girls out there…stick with your own kind. Fans breeding with other fans will results in the best outcome: more little fans!

Super Sayan McFreakout!
Heh, this NEVER gets old! Why is it here? ’cause she’s screaming she’ll go Super Sayan on our asses.
’nuff said.
If Disney Princesses Were In Star Wars…Deviant Artist Kudos to pushfighter
And thus starts another MAD idea for Second Geekhood by TimeSiren. In love with many of the talented artists on Deviant Art, I wanted to showcase their amazing talent here on our humble domain in the hopes of bringing some beauty to you, the readers, exposing you to something new AND encouraging everyone to support their efforts by requesting commissions from them. Many Deviant artists supplant their incomes by doing what they love and it is pretty obvious from such incredible pieces that they are accomplishing just that. So enjoy, share among your social networks and throw moola at them once in a while so they can continue to bring us such amazing contributions to fandom!
Our first Deviant Artist up is pushfighter. If you read his journal, it is apparent why he can’t be more prolific, taking care of an elderly, bedridden father, but he is very grateful for his followers and is pushing to be active on DA and social media this year. Drop him a note, tell him you saw him on Second Geekhood and really love his work. Caregivers have it tough, as I well know and even we need someone to care for us once in a while.

Last Friday Night | Team TARDIS (Ponds)
A beautifully done music video done back in 2011 and featured in our Five & Dime Fangirls Who Crack Video Track project at Gallifrey One in 2012, Last Friday Night can still bring up all those feels of the best of the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith era. River Song haters beware – she’s in here a bit, but that’s because she ruled!
A Christopher Lee tribute
No one can tell me which movie, but I will NEVER forget the scene: a dark basement in a black and white film. Christopher Lee as Dracula, brooding as his minion comes in. He waves long fingers at something on the floor and commands the minion to “Get rid of THAT!,” spitting out the words contemptuously. The camera cuts to a young woman dead at his feet, her throat ripped out.
Telling people outside my age group that Sir Christopher Lee was MY Count Dracula is tricky. Too old, and they say Bela Lugosi (very old and they say Klaus Kinski) was the King of the Vampires. Too young and they say Frank Langella or Gary Oldman. Every actor who has donned the mantle of the Undead Lord has brought something special and wonderful to the part, but Christopher Lee was, without a doubt, among the greater of them.
For decades now, as my husband and I mourn the passing of every great actor in Hollywood and England, we could always say, “At least Christopher Lee is still alive.” That tradition sadly ended last week as the venerable actor succumbed to heart failure.
Many lovely memories of this great man were shared across the internet last week, from Twitter to Instagram. Going through them, I found so many to be so true.
Professor Steve Chibnall, director of the Cinema And Television History Research Centre at at the university, said in part: “Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were the most recognised faces of Hammer films and now we have lost both of these great actors.”
“Lee was the most disturbingly believable embodiment of Count Dracula, with a chilling screen presence that has never been rivaled. Vampires live beyond death, and the collective memory of Lee’s portrayal of Dracula will be immortal.”
Mark Gatiss of Doctor Who and Sherlock fame, said this of the man on Twitter:
A “Titan of Cinema.” No truer words have ever been spoken.
Rest in Peace, Sir Christopher Lee. You have well earned it.
