About Me…

Hi there! My name is Joanne Clapa. I’m a graduate of Montclair State University with a Bachelor’s  Degree in English, as well as an Associate’s Degree in Film Studies from Sussex County Community College in New Jersey.

I love literature, film, and animation. I’m obsessed with Doctor Who, Sherlock, Harry Potter, and just about every Studio Ghibli movie there is. I dive head first into every new hobby I tackle, whether that’s drawing, embroidery, or writing. I celebrated my Sweet Sixteen at The Museum of Natural History, and have spent countless hours (and dollars) at bookstores and craft stores. So, yeah, I’m a bit of a nerd. A geek. A dork. Heck, I’ll even answer to dweeb.

With all that being said, what will you find here at The Geeky Gachapon? Well, like the homepage says, you’ll find anything and everything nerdy! I’ll be writing about my adventures in writing, reviews on the books I read and the movies I watch, and the latest in nerd-related news.

You can also find a link to my shop, where I sell hand-made embroidery pieces that can mostly be described as “geeky”. I am also experimenting with other types of art, so you can keep an eye out for that as well.

I hope you enjoy my website. My intentions for it have always been to share in my interests, and hope that others can find a little joy in what I love to do.

So take a look around and have fun!
