Reign: The Informal Intro

Hai hai! Some of you might be following me over from Words Don’t Do it Justice (WDDIJ), and some of you might just be fans of The Block. In either case, I’m taking this opportunity to step off the Imperial throne and away from my contextual Empire to introduce myself a little differently.

As far as The Block is concerned, I am a Nerd, first and foremost. I am proud of my geek-outs and nerdgasms. There is no shame in my gaming. I don’t shy away from my appre Reign, Geek Card ciation for the sharingan, or punish myself for making bad puns. I am a nerd, a geek, and a dork. I have books that are older than I am, a comic card collection collecting dust, and all four seasons of Heroes on DVD. I have layers like an onion. I’m allowed to show a little depth from time to time… ok, at least every Wednesday… but I try to inject a bit of relatable humor every few sentences to keep you guys awake and reading.

On The Block, just as this introduction is slightly different, I too am slightly different. The Block is where I go to chill. Even when I rage, it’ll be done with a Mai Tai in my hand and a sly smile on my face because I’m probably not being all that serious anyway. I might be passionate about my passions, but my inner human being needs a break from the caring and the social consciousness every once in a while too.

I hope you’ll find a moment or two to hang out and relax with me… Oh yeah, and by the way… My name is Reign.

Born in Brooklyn, and raised a child of the world, Reign learned at an early age that words and how she used them have power. Under the tutelage of the school of life, she learned what he meant when Bulwer-Lytton said “… The pen is mightier than the sword.” With her words, she impressed her school teachers and surpassed her peers. She excelled socially, and was compelled to reach higher and higher heights… Then came the internet, cell phone text message character limitations, reality TV, and a general disregard for diction, spelling, proper grammar, and punctuation became acceptable--expected even—and Reign’s reign was reduced to little more than being the one her friends asked to spell or define words that were once common. Now, living outside her time, she shares her words and thoughts with you here; one of the few places left where they might, however ironically, do some justice. View all posts by Reign
