No, really, I am.
As a kid I fought it, but I've long since come to terms with my geekiness and have even grown proud of it. And in college, I discovered
H.P. Lovecraft. Never heard of him? He's an American author from the early 1900s. I've been reading his stories for a long time now
(college was waaaaay too long ago), but didn't actually know much about the guy until looking him up. Like I didn't know that his father went insane when he was three or that his grandfather introduced him to gothic horror when he was young... but it explains a lot!
Lovecraft's stuff is, to put it bluntly, pretty twisted. He's the guy who came up with
Cthulhu, the high priest of the "Great Old Ones," best described as fairly evil gods.
Cthulhu, in drawings and sculptures, has been interpreted many times. It's even been interpreted as plush dolls.
And now? A cell phone holder.
Yes, I am now the proud owner of a Cthulhu cell phone holder, and it's eaten my phone.
It even has a handy dandy strap on the back to be hooked around a belt.
I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that it's not handmade, but I simply couldn't pass it up. It's Cthulhu! And when I want to switch out and use a handmade cell phone holder, I've always got my
pop tart!
