The one where .... I declare my love for the Geek Girls of the world

So I have experienced a little bit of a renaissance with my blog. The reason?

It has no small coincidence that I have recently become enamoured with the IGGPPC (International Geek Girls Pen Pal Club).

So before start banging on about its amazingness, lets kick off with how I heard about the project to begin with. I have been following Geek Girl on FB for a while now, a group that is trying to promote and get girls in to IT. It's a subject I have felt passionately about for a while being a IT trainer and assessor. So one day just flicking thorough my timeline I saw this post.

Well yes and yes.. I signed up for the first round, and then watched as the whole thing EXPLODED over the Internet. I felt like in was in on the inception of something epic. My Twitter page became a place where I could engage with awesome geek girls from across the globe. I felt like I belonged. I found my tribe.

I found that I was spending ridiculous amounts on time watching YouTube videos, reading blog posts, responding to tweets, hanging out on the iggppc forum. I was truly inspired.

So despite a hiatus of many months I decided to resurrect my much neglected blog.

The girls (and a few boys too) are geeks in the truest meaning of the word, they are irrepressibly enthusiastic about the things that they love and love sharing their loves with the world. They are kind, intelligent, sweet, and generally awesome. They don't get bored at my enthusiasm for new episodes of Doctor Who, they know who Tom Hiddleston is and know why I want his babies, they are non judgmental and frankly awesome in all the ways that matter.

So to any fellow geeks out there check out these epic ladies and bask in the wonder.
