Masters of Library Science

So, Eric and out went out to Conflikt last January by train. On our way there, we came across a couple going to a Librarians convention. Before we finished our first full day on the train, I wrote a song that had these two library buffs crying with laughter. Here's why....


Masters of Library Science

When you walk into a con hotel
Or a comic book store
There’s art and plot and figurines
And geekery galore

You try to take it in
Cause there’s so much to see and do
But you better move aside
Cause there’s a geek girl coming through!

I know more about Dune than you
Sarcastic, almost crass
Walking ‘round con in a corset
Doesn’t mean that I won’t kick your ass

It means that I’m a geek girl
A brown coat, thru and thru
I’m a Whovian, a Trekie and a
Klezmer filker, too!

Our steampunk guns all started out
As phasers long ago
BA in Anthropology
And I’m good at saving throws

We hold ritual with sonic
screwdrivers instead of wands
Then afterward watch
Battlestar Galactica ‘til dawn

I collect stripey knee socks
And I’m a furrie, yes it’s true
But panda ears won’t save you
When I make things go BOOM!!

Because I’m a geek girl
and I don’t need to be saved
With my companion cube in hand
I aim to misbehave!

I’m as delicate and fragile
As a porcupine in heat
And if Magic is your game of choice,
Prepare for your defeat

I’ve got Life of Brian memorized
And every song from Buffy
And about the plush Cthulhu
Well...I can’t help it! He’s so FLUFFY!

So if you see me coming, ladies
Come join me in my quest
To show the geek boys that we’ve got
What it takes to pass the test

Because we’ve been here watching
Fangirls across the world
And when we do take over
You’ll be ruled by GEEK GIRLS!!


For all the girls out there who've ever had to show the boys how it's done.
