Geeky Gatherings
This summer, I was given a title in passing when someone I know was introducing me to someone else. I was "the most normal of us". In other contexts, I might have reacted to this introduction, but in this case, I have to bow down.
Hi, my name is Ragnhild and I'm pretty normal.
Not normally. Absolutely not. But for this one weekend in August, I am. Torucon weekend.
