Geeks unite!

I love this story, though I'm saddened to hear that she had to go through that to begin with. I'm glad that geeks came together to provide support. I think I forget sometimes how much crap geeks can take. My middle school and high school had a lot of geeks, but there was so much crossover with the cooler kids that the geeks never rally got crap for anything. Thus, my inner geek had a chance to flourish in a bully-free environment.

May the Force be with her!

Hey, girl power rules, dude. [Wink]

The friend who sent me this was one of the very few other geeky types from my all-girl HS.

These days, she's the successful founder of a small tech company. [Big Grin]
