Why Iron Man is my favorite superhero.

The simple answer would be that I am a geek. More specifically a Marvel geek. However most of my life Wolverine was my favorite because I wished I had his healing powers. I thought about how much more I could do if I was less sickly. Now as an adult, however, I relate way more to Iron Man. I'm not a rich playboy but I love that he has panic attacks even though he's a superhero whi shouldn't logically be afraid. That makes me feel better about when I'm freaking out about something others view as a non issue. Also he has horrible O.C.D. He can't be handed things unless its Pepper or Happy handing them to him. That's such a strange thing to be O.C.D about however so are most of my O.C.D triggers. I cannot handle a set of blinds being slightly skewed or one of them messed up. It drives me nuts and I must stop what I'm doing and fix the blinds. I feel like my problems can be so debilitating. Then I watch Iron Man and see all the amazing things Tony Stark accomplishes to spite his issues and it makes me happier to be me! Rant over carry on!

Super Cool?

I just got done watching a special on superheros. In that special they kept talking about how it was abnormal or uncool to like superhero's and comics up until about 10-15 years ago. I must say that if it was I was completely oblivious. I think that as with all things if you were obsessive about it then yeah you got a few sideways looks. But I gotta say I'm a very girly girl. I was the first girl born in my family. I was surrounded by all thinks girly. I liked Cabbage Patch Kids and Barbies. But I would drop those toys in a minute for He-man toys or X-men anything. Even now that I'm 30 I think one of the things my husband and I argue about most is Marvel vs. D.C. or more specifically Wolverine vs. Batman. Spoiler alert my answer is always Wolverine. No matter who he's against. I just don't see how people think negatively about someone for what they enjoy. If it's not hurting anyone then let them enjoy. I personally am not a fan of Justin Beiber or One Direction but I'll admit I like at least one song from each. But I love seeing how happy girls that do love them get because it reminds me of when I was young and crazy about Backstreet Boys and NSync. Why does our society accept teaching kids to judge each other based on what they find entertaining? I gotta say most people who know me still get surprised to find out that I can ramble about Wolverine or Jubilee forever. but thankfully they usually still like me. Who says that people who like comic books have to be "Geeks"? and since when is being a "geek" such a bad thing. I have always liked Geeks. :) Live and let live people. and hey try to understand what someone else likes and why they like it. Like I now understand why my hubby likes Batman. I still think Wolverine is better but I see why my husband feels so drawn to Batman too. Plus to all those people who teased me about loving NSync, I have 3 words for you, JUSTIN FREAKING TIMBERLAKE. :p
