"I met a traveller from an antique land" Part One

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I am the perfect girlfriend.  Seriously.

Alright, fine.  I may have been exaggerating a little.  So I may not be perfect, but I still think I make a pretty awesome significant other.  For instance, I've always taken the time to give my boyfriend's interests a chance.  Especially Mr. Nerdtastic's passions.  (And that's because I kind of like him the most, but don't tell).  But while I think past boyfriends eased me into their crazy obsessions, Night Nerd II did not.

After only a couple months or dating Optimus Nerd, he introduced me to one of his favorite graphic novels: The Watchmen.  Maybe "introduced" is the wrong word.  It definitely is, because my boyfriend pretty much handed me the bright yellow and black book and said something like this:

"This AMAZING film is coming out soon, so you must read this before then. Cause we're going." At least, that's the gist of what I got.

But I knew I was actually going to like the bee-colored super comic.  A handsome man dressed up as an owl, an evil hero wearing a bright yellow smiley-face button like the kind I used to wear on my shirts in fifth grade,  a naked blue man with a six-pack,  AND an over-marketed super hero inspired by and named after my favorite Percy Shelley poem...

Where can I sign up?

Until next time,
