What I'm grooving to: Folkin around by Panic at the Disco (I heart this song haha)
So last night as I watched Freaks and Geeks (a show I totally wished they hadn’t cancelled because it is AMAZING =P) I noticed that I could identify with the characters in so many ways! Maybe not as much with the Freaks, but I totally did with the geeks!
In the past year I have been learning a lot about myself, as I’ve found myself trying to analyze my personality, to have a better understanding of why certain things are the way they are in my life, and most importantly to help me identify what the best path seemed to be for myself in regards to my future after college. And one of the things I noticed, both on my own and with the help of others, is that I’m kind of a geek!
A few reasons why I’m a geek:
1. I LOVE Sci-fi stuff!!!! I grew obsessed with Heroes once I starting watching the episodes, it is definitely my favorite show!!! And its not only the fact that I like watching the episodes and remember a lot of the quotes (I have a talent for this haha) but it’s the fact that I analyze every single character and episode, and can go on for hours talking about my analysis and hypothesis haha. And let us not forget the obsession I had with Lord of the Rings, dude I used to wear “the ring” I got from a bookmark around my neck on a chain similar in appearance to Frodo’s; I was such a freak! Plus one of the things I look forward to once I have my own apartment, is being able to frame the map of Middle Earth I have!!! Most people look forward to their own apartment just to have more privacy and be more independent, nop not me, I’m just thinking of my sci-fi ish decoration! Haha. Plus, I am A HUGEEEEE Harry Potter fan!!! Its another topic I can go on for hours, days, months, talking about. I LOVEEEE HP series and even the movies, eve though they’re a bit more shiteous than the books. And I’venever been to a Sci-Fi convention, but the tought of going totally exhilarates me, its something I plan to do in the future.
2. I LOVE playing Rockband (and with the Wii too) !!!! This was my favorite thing of the whole summer! I can go on for hours playing, like my voice might be sounding hoarse and my head is starting to hurt, but this won’t stop me from playing, I LOVE playing! I played for like 8 hours straight the other day! Plus, I would prefer staying at home drining and playing Rockband then going out to the club and dancing. I know that if I was more exposed to video games (playstation, xbox, etc.) I could totally become a video game junkie, like those crazy kids at school haha.
3. As I mentioned before, I LOVE remembering quotes from tv, movies, books, etc. I think its cool, and it gives me the opportunity to have inside jokes with the other people who have actually watched the same thing.
4. On this same line, I LOVE inside jokes! Especially those related to tv shows or movies, and even school subjects (science and engineering haha). I have tons of them with my friends, and a always looking for opportunities to do so.
5. I’m a huge pop culture freak. I watch a lot of tv, read a lot of magazines and blogs and news articles related to pop culture. I know all about the latest gossip, who’s dating who, who dissed who, etc. EVERYONE always notices this about me and calls me out on it haha.
6. I watch a LOT of tv shows. I watch too much tv, and I always end up LOVING at least 80 % of the shows I watch haha.
7. I find “geeky” looking guys attractive :O I totally LOVE guys in glasses, or who are a bit nerdy looking hehe. For example, I used to love Colin Hanks character in Roswell, I love Bill from Freaks and Geeks (he’s hilarious!), I loved Henry in Ugly Betty, etc ... I tend to find guys more attractive when they have an awesome sense of humor or are really smart.
Hence, I am totally a geek. And believe me, the list can go on!
I don’t think its such a bad thing to be a geek, however not everyone appreciates it, especially guys In PR. I think being a geek gives me a bit of personality and distinguishes me from other girls. And in addition to this, I can totally be a “boy” sometimes, meaning I love dirty jokes and that’s what she said jokes, I love talking about poop and nasty stuff haha, and am not phased by boyish topics. And even though a lot of guys would love a gf like this, I always tend to end up being the friend instead of the gf: STORY OF MY LIFE.
Anyways, I came to the conclusion that my goal should be to find a guy who’s geeky like me too =) Let’s see how that goes, because let us remember I have the worst luck with guys, and getting guys to like me …. *SIGH*
