Tell us about yourself: My name is Teryl and I loooovvveeee Halloween and everything to do with it! I start designing and making my costumes in the summer so that I can get every detail just right. In fact, any excuse to dress in costume is wicked! I think I'm probably an odd mix of a geek too. I'm not a huge gamer or bookworm, but I love movies and I can really immerse myself into their fantastical worlds. It's where I gather a lot of inspiration from for my costumes and jewelry designs. Being a geek is in my blood and I proudly embrace it!
Have you always been a geek?: I guess I first really became a geek during childhood when my dad introduced me to my first episode of Star Trek, Next Gen. It grew into a love for all things sci-fi and fantasy, and when I got older the horror genre creeped in. (hehe)
Geekiest thing about you: My Lord of the Rings collection. I have both the original theatrical and extended edition DVDs of each film, several laminated posters, a framed 2D map of Middle earth, figures and special edition books. Oh, and I plan on buying some LOTR Black Milk clothing in the near future. :)
