Hello friends and happy Friday!
I had originally planned to post this interview last Friday, but since Mo has surgery and I was taking care of him and cleaning the apartment, I kinda didn't get around to posting this interview. Better late then never I suppose. Sometimes real life just gets in the way.
-----
Thanks to Jaz for agreeing to be my second interview here on the blog! I am pretty excited to have her join me today. Make sure you stay tuned next Friday for the second part of her guest post, where she talks about her trip to Hawaii ((I am kind of jealous, although hopefully this time next year, Mo and I will be in Hawaii!)) Make sure you go drop by Jaz's social media and leave her some love!
So I met Jaz through the Female Geek Bloggers group on Google+ and I love her blog. I am definitely a nerd, which you all might know by now, so I really enjoy reading her blog. She even went to Hawaii and took her Lilo & Stitch Funko! Pop Vinyl's with her, but that is the second part of this interview (which will be posted next week). Without further ado, here is Jaz::

1.
Please introduce yourself and tell me about your
blog
Hi! I am Jasmine Tiger 26 Years old nerd
bird daydreamer fundraiser starter try new things out kind of girl. My faith, Princesses,
sci-fi, shooting, off roading, comic books, thrift stores, treasure hunting,
picture taking, Star Trek are only a few of my current obsessions; I mean
Subjects of Interest.

What made you decide on your blog name? I like
it
Thank you! Well I had been wanting to start
a blog for a while and my dad helped me pick it out.
I wanted a web address other than a dot com
and something different. He told me there was a dot XYZ available along with
Superheroes. I thought that would be great since everything I was thinking of
writing about was going to be superheroes comic cons and other variables of the
nerdy geeky world and thought that is exactly what XYZ is… variables. Hence
Superheroes.xyz
3.
What is something important you’ve learned from
blogging?
Something I have learned from blogging is
be patient yet keep up. That made sense I was thinking about my answer. I have
so many things I want to write about but need to pace myself and find the right
time to post them. Also by keeping up as in if I write about events or movies
and such is get it done; the sooner the better as there is already numerous
posts and yours will be lost in the sea of them if you wait too long, by that time
readers have already read what they want to read yours most likely misses the
train no matter how great of a post you think it is.
4.
Why do you blog?
I blog because I love going to conventions!
Now there is more than one in my life, I have so many pictures and things I
want to share. I want to share it with people that get just as excited as I do
and/or passionate about certain things as well. I can only discuss comic books,
movies or talking about a comic con and the days leading to it for so long
before some people want to tune me out or duck tape one of the two. Being able
to see others get excited or read the things we have in common is great,
reading about their take on the same topic has been a great experience for me.
I am also in hopes that one day, the posts, or future posts and tips and things
I would like to post will somehow make a nerdy friends day or something all the
better.
5.
What is your favorite social media site and why?
Well it used to be facebook, now Instagram
takes the favorite. I got on the bandwagon late with Instagram and originally
started it for San Diego Comic Con in 2013 as I take an insane amount of
pictures. I really like Instagram due to the fact of taking a regular picture
and making it look like art. It is also a challenge for me as it pushes me to
try and think of creative ways to take a picture, and see things different. I
try to make it stand out in the sea of pictures there are today and ask how
would a picture of this be different from all the others.
6.
Tell me about your favorite comic book series
I recently got into comic books about a
year or so ago. There are so many I want to follow and still figuring out where
to start, but the one I have managed and have the most issues is Thor from
Marvel Comics. When I heard Thor was going to be a female I had somewhat mixed
feelings about it, the issue came out on stands and I decided to wait and see
what happens which I do not recommend waiting to buy a number 1 issue (learned
the hard way) I bought issues 2 and 3 with her and it has grown on me. I was
pretty excited for the issue of Thor vs. Thor which I have yet to get but I am
glad the direction they have taken for the goddess and so far and have enjoyed
it. I also love her suit of armor which I thought they had done a nice job on
being both suitable and manageable for her and not just focusing on assets and
can be taken seriously.
7.
Tell me about your favorite convention
Favorite convention is the San Diego Comic
Con I have been lucky enough to make 7 years in attending and this year 2015
will be my 8th year the experiences, the free goodies, the picture,
the movies, the TV shows. I have met some fun people and love the insane and
craziness it offers. I volunteer their most of the time and is fun to see some
of the behind the scenes action. Although I must say that the Phoenix Comicon
is slowly creeping up to becoming my favorite due to the variety it has to
offer and the more intimate setting it has compared to the San Diego
Convention. San Diego Comic Con will always have my heart as it is in my hometown
and gives me a reason to go back every year. We have had a few mishaps such as
losing my camera one year with so many great pictures and the year I decided to
cosplay as Batgirl. But I have forgiven the forces at hand and still continue
to attend.

What is your favorite geek community and why?
I have yet to find more but so far one of
my favorites is the Female Geek Bloggers group on Google plus. It is one of the
only reasons why I use Google Plus. It is nice to be able to share your work
and find others who are doing some what the same things as you. It is nice to
ask for advice when stuck or trying to go about things and being somewhat new
to the blogging world it has helped. Seeing how others have overcome the
obstacles, and see the rewards their blog has to offer is nice to read about as
well. Helpful blogs, fun blogs, informative blogs, read every post they have
blogs, so many. Even coming across the
virtual -ships, to possible friendships, and opportunities it has to offer.
9.
Anything else that you want to share with us?
Yes? I had an online fashion magazine for a
year, created fan sites for bands, started a fundraiser for my dad, planned
fundraising events, started blogs that died off and have done random things
here and there. But this, having a blog within the nerdy geeky community in
itself has by far been one of the best things that I am glad I got involved in
as I have been in it for years and being able to share everything with you all.
For example this opportunity thanks to awesome Jenn is a great feeling and is
very uplifting to know that we can all be here to help and support each other.
Thank you Jenn for this opportunity to share
with you and your readership it is greatly appreciated and am very thankful, I
am looking forward to continuing our new found friendship
