Its Batman day!

There is no hiding my love of the dark knight. if you have known me for 26 years or a week, you know I love anything Batman related. Ever since I was a little kid and begged my parents to buy me that god awful cereal just because it had the batman logo on it. I was hooked on all things Batman.

It was one of the first fandoms I remember falling in love with as a kid, when little girls would play with their strawberry shortcakes and barbies I was begging my parents for a bat mobile and toy batcave to go with my action figures. I was odd for a girl but even then I wouldn't change myself or what I loved because it wasn't what most girls liked. I loved batman because he was a normal guy, and I have fallen in love with so many characters in the batman universe over the years that honestly have probably helped shape me into the person I am today. Some of my best memories are going to the movies to see the newest batman film with my cousins, and when we were old enough going to the midnight releases of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Jumping from couch to couch with towels tied around our necks like batman and batgirl to save the day from whatever villain we decided one of us was being that day. To waking up early to watch the animated series with my dad on Saturdays and falling in love with Harley Quinn, these are memories I wouldn't have if it wasn't for batman.

In an odd way my love of  batman  and not being afraid to show it or share my love was the start to what I am now, this person who doesn't give a crap if someone tells me I am too old to be wearing a batman tee, or collecting action figures, or fan girling over the new batgirl suit (which is so awesome by the way). When someone makes fun of me for being a "fan girl" and being "too nerdy" over what I love, I tell them "yeah i love it, your point its a part of who I am."  Because that little girl inside me is sitting there with her batman backpack not caring that she is being teased because its what she loves. And I have to make that little girl proud, because she is the reason I am who I am today. I could honestly go into depth about my love of the dark knight and ramble for hours, but I honestly just wanted to come on here and say happy 75th anniversary Batman, because with out you in my life, I probably wouldn't be the woman I am today.
