Guess what. I'm a geek.
« on: July 26, 2009, 09:38:26 AM »
Yes. Indeed I am a geek. Geek is one of my favourite words. I am the epitome of geek.

Well. Not really. I suck with computers and I couldn't tell you a thing about Star Trek except that they wear dumb-looking outfits in it...but besides that, I Am Geek. Hear me roar.

My geek credentials:
-My favourite thing in the world is Stupid Sexy Flanders. Well, a lot of people like Stupid Sexy Flanders, but I'm like a loser because of how much I like it. Do you ship? Ha! If you don't know what I meant by that, I suppose I am a different caliber of geek than you. Because I ship hardcore. I ship against the norm. I ship H/Hr. Hence the "Pumpkin" in my username. AND I read/write fan fiction!
-I love Lord of the Rings. When I was younger I wished I could turn into a hobbit so that I could marry Peregrin Took. Not even ashamed. Well, maybe I am a little. It was a dark time in my life.
-I kind of hate my friends. ...Well. I don't hate hate them. I just, you know, hate them. They piss me off extremely and I just really want to escape them at the moment. Internet friends are so much easier than real life friends. If you get sick of internet friends you can turn your computer off. ;) Just kidding. Believe it or not I have no internet friends. I'm a lone Pumpkin. (P.S. I have no idea what hating your friends has to do with being a geek. But whatev.)
-My favourite band is Hanson. You know, MMMBop? That stereotype of them really needs to go away though, btw.
-Most of my other favourite bands are Asian. Geeks tend to like Asians.
-Yes, I watch anime. Ouran High School Host Club, Death Note, and Inuyasha are my favorites. I used to love Bleach, but it got boring.
-Grammar is my best friend. If you ever catch me making a grammatical error in my posts, please correct me. I will promptly begin to roast myself on a spit as punishment for such a heinous crime. The only grammar point I have no regard for are participles; I misuse them all the time and I don't care. Sometimes fixing them sounds stupid.

Other (not so important) stuff:
Real name: Joan. Yes, that does make me sound like an old lady. Blame my parents.
Age: 17 (How long have I been 17? A while.) Sorry for the War and Peace by Dostoyevsky bit. Too good to pass up.
Country: USA...but you probably already guessed that, right?


Anyway, this is getting too long. Sorry. It's probably boring. At any rate, I hope to exploit my geekdom peacefully within the cyber walls of this geeky forum.

Did a certain Google search bring you to our site?

In any case, Welcome!

I agree that Bleach can get boring. However, It always seems to pull me back in once the action starts again. You should reconsider.

That list doesn't really qualify you as a geek, I'm sorry.

Is this post from 1998? I mean if it wasn't for the War and Peace by Dostoyevsky reference I would swear this was someone posting from the late 90s.

Welcome welcome.

hello, i am no ubergeek and in fact i am just getting reaquainted with my geek-roots after a rather bloody and dreadful period in my life i have dubbed "The Ex". i love books, military sci-fi most of all. i love movies. i no longer own very many geek tees but i am wearing a rather nerdy sweater-vest.

Hello all, and thanks for the welcomes!  :-D

bananaskittles: hahahahahaha yeah, I agree, I can go into weeaboo-fangirl mode quite easily; it's difficult to suppress. Asians are just so hot...! [/must...stop...the weeaboo...]

Chris : *sobweepcry* W-what? You don't think I'm a geek?! I must prove it to you! What are your qualifications for being one? I probably fit in somehow.

sociald1077: hahaha yeah. 90s are my favourite decade. But Hanson is still an active band, I assure you! They just have deeper voices now. Thank God.

FleetStrike: hahaha sweater vests. Those are a part of my school uniform. :lol:

Novice: I always planned to get back to Bleach, but I keep getting sidetracked! *cough procrastination* I have an extremely short attention span. The classic 26-episode anime have always been easier for me. But I promise I'll catch up with Bleach! ...someday.... :-P

Sweater vests with a built in Shield spell?


BRILLIANT!

So I heard that if you cut off an extremity and cast Regeneration on it, it will grow back a little bit bigger.


Don't believe it.

i have a brown Hanson shirt with the "Boys" in a sultry teen angst driven pose. honest truth. i've been using it as a night shirt since i was like 6. i wore it to school one day and got a mixture of OMGs and WTFs. that was 9th grade. i would not recommend any freshmen to repeat this act.

Hahahahaha! Fleetstrike, a Hanson shirt? That's awesome. No exaggeration.

mryellow : haha, not quite so. They're not really the drinking-themselves-silly, throwing-televisions-out-of hotel-windows kind of musicians. But it gave me a very funny mental image. :lol:

xolik: Thanks for the pluses. :-D I know my rainbow colors well. And my Asian celebrities.
