Basics: Writer. Photographer. Traveler. NerdGirl. Collector. Batman obsessed. Weirdo.
Bio: My name is Angel Young, and I’m a bit eccentric by nature. I’ve always loved the nerdier things in life, as well as the creative. Finally, I’ve decided to combine some of my passions into one project. I’ve fused my love for writing, photography, travel, and fandoms into one beast – Wandering NerdGirl. Here I plan to explore the world and all the nerdy adventures it has to offer me.
I’ve always been the odd girl out. I was in love with horror before I knew what horror really was. I cut teeth on vampire movies, played with my beloved Wolfy doll, and devoured classic monster movies, before eventually falling in love with slasher movies around the age of 12.
But that wasn’t my only love. I’ve always, always loved Batman, for as long as I can remember. Over time, my Batman stuff has snowballed into a massive collection that I regularly add to, especially if I find anything on my adventures.
Pieces of my heart have been left in various places I’ve traveled to. I head to Disney World and Universal Orlando quite a bit, and I’m always down for a good con when I have the chance, though a road trip to New Orleans is always fun. And let’s not forget Salem, Massachusetts – where I someday long to stay. But I haven’t been able to settle the wanderlust yet, so plenty of destinations are on the way.
To summarize: I love Batman. I’m a bit of a weirdo. I’m a restless soul. A Universal girl with a spooky heart.
I’m ready to take you all on my adventures with me. Are you ready?
Wow! Nerd, horror buff, and into Shakespeare. Nice! We share a lot of the same interests. Looking forward to following your blog. Cheers – Jeff

Sounds like you are off to what Bill & Ted would call, “An Excellent Adventure.” Perhaps because I’ve been on my own adventure so long, I find your self-definition of ‘weird’ as a misnomer. You are reaching out and finding wonder everywhere … which is of course where wonder is. In time, as you look back on your life, you may find as I have that those not pursuing wonder have limited themselves. Why? Pretty weird, huh?

Ahhhhhh!!! This is what inspired my blog too. Always planning the next “adventure” no matter how big or small. After my big break up a few years ago, I always have to plan experiences to keep me going. All the best!

Same here! Except mine was illness rather than a breakup. I got really sick and hospitalized, ended up a train wreck for a while, and started traveling more to deal with the stress and depression caused from finding out I have an autoimmune disease, and it’s really become an effective coping mechanism! All the best to you as well!

You strike me as a interesting person. Horror, comic books, I love Batman as well. I love both DC comics and Marvel comics, as well as the movies themselves.
Question: Are you into poetry as well?
