in February 4th, 2007 @ 10:20geek and nerd are very different things. Nerds are smart and know a lot of useful things, geeks pretend to be and know a lot of useless things that make them look smart.
I’m a geek
Geek pride!!!

in February 4th, 2007 @ 10:52I’m a geek. I speak Michif, for zark’s sake, and I also say things like “for zark’s sake.” I even order stuff from ThinkGeek. I read Megatokyo, the Whatever, Onezumi, AND I do NaNoWriMo. Plus, I am also a nerd, part of SPASM (Society for the Prevention of Asinine Student Movements). I know things like how to make a calculator into a metal detector. In 30 seconds. While listening to Public Image Ltd.
Sometimes, I scare myself.

I am not a math geek, but a geek of everything else, from learning about animals, to drama. Basically a geek-of-all-trades as Kiki said, acceptions to math.

in February 4th, 2007 @ 11:31I’m a geek/nerd type person. I’m a theatre geek, a math geek, a “nose-in-a-book” type person, I enjoy learning, I do NaNoWriMo, insist on going to a geek camp this summer (I’m taking a creative writing class!, the same one I took last year) I speak Spanish, French and English.

I’m one of those jerks that makes shoddy websites with non-verfied CSS and HTML. Refuse to learn php.
All I do is save pictures of beautiful, beautiful Japanese male singers. Um, 742 at last count. I love myself. Until the day my computer crashes because of too many large image scans. Cry.

in February 4th, 2007 @ 11:50the words ‘nerd’ and ‘geek’ seem to have different connotations to different people. To me, geek is a negative term. Nerd is synonymous with geek when used by certain unnerdy people who think nerdiness/geekiness is bad, but when used among people like us, it means someone who is smart and doesn’t think that’s a bad thing, but nerds are also usually nice people. I am proud to be a nerd, but I don’t think I’m much of a geek.
Anyway, I’m mainly a word nerd. I like reading and writing and, most of all, spelling. my school spelling bee is tomorrow, but I’m not too worried because i know it’s all going to come out of a booklet called the Spell-It! and I know all 701 words in Spell-It! after the school bee I’m going to the regional, which i got second place in last year. If i win that, I get to go to the national. Yipeee! I’m not sure if i’ll get there though. I hope so.
I like most other subjects too, but not as much as words. I’m not bad at math, though i don’t think I’m much of a math nerd and I don’t want to be one. We already have one of those in the family and i dont think we need another.

in February 4th, 2007 @ 15:37I am probably the geekiest/nerdiest (I neither know nor care about the difference) person in my school. I’m not popular, nor am I hated. (That I know of, anyway.) I’m a science nerd, grammar nazi, spelling geek, orch dork (I invented that term myself, although it’s so ingenious that I think someone else must’ve come up with it first), band geek, math geek, drama nerd…the list goes on.

in February 4th, 2007 @ 16:04I’m probably more of a nerd than a geek. Well, both. I’m not sure. I’m the kid who does all her work and gets straight-a’s and has no social life outside of school except on the internet and would rather stay home and read than go to a party or something along those lines.
Yay!

in February 4th, 2007 @ 17:38(24) Kukukukuku, come closer my child… >D
I’ve read the manga auntil about 330…of crouse I skipped a lot because i was so behind, and I had the basic gist of it. -cough- BUT. ALL of the manga is available at NarutoFan for download, though you need to register. I got so bored of it recently though, it was just Naruto training, Shikamaru angsting blah blah blah. Need to read it for the Akatsuki thoug. Oh Hidan. ♥
The Viz manga sucks. Don’t read it anymore than you have to.
I actually thought the dub was worlds better than I thought it would be (I half expected another One Piece ). But I can see why you’d silike it for cutting the violence etc. I’m going to be having a field day once they get to the Itachi bits because that crap is whack. And that’s why we love it.
And I’ve bought the manga untranslated at Kinokuniya, but I don’t know if you have one near you…specialty shops and Japanese stores will have it. I can only read like 1/19859354 of it but it was still owrth it.

Ebeth The Ubiquitous Ãœber
in February 4th, 2007 @ 19:32i spent the day playing some tactics game name of which i forget w/dan and bill and going to the weather forecast on his wii, which is like google earth except a lot cooler and even more fun to spin than webpages. And chipotle. yum. Chipotle’s not geeky though. it just Is.
Pater’s been taking away comp privelages left and right these days, so i won’t be on tomorrow. I really need to work on my nod, smile, ignore tactics. i never seem to get the not talking part of it. or the smiling. or even the nodding. jeeshers.
Found my calky! ’twas hiding under my bed. YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE! MWAHAHA!!! But omgz, andy lent me his brother’s old one because he didn’t want me stealing his cuz phil’s in my math and last time he took it and deleted everything by accident (he was just trying to put a password on but he messed something up) but then he ended up having to use mark’s too (mark’s his brother) cuz he left his at home. Smart. Anyhoo, it’s so sad! it’s like mutilated! there’s this huge crack in the screen and if you leave it on too long the whole screen just goes black. But it had pacman! i only got to like level 4 (for obvious reasons…the thing was freaking defiled…meeeeh) but i gave it to leeny, phil, and lucy so they can give it to me now that i’ve found mine. Wheeee!
I colored a waterbottle orange. i don’t know how that’s geeky exactly, but it’s certainly weird.
oh, want to know what’s geeky? i have a plushie black beasts of aaaargh. When you pull the string in its mouth, it goes “aaaargh” It’s pretty sweet. i think riet gave me that one.

in February 4th, 2007 @ 20:09double postage stamp! OH NOEZ! but i’m really bored and don’t want to start history noting. even though i have to b/c i have to do it before bill goes to bed so we can trade off half+half, and she goes to bed at like 10 (crazy lady…). ho hum. mebbe i’ll go watch the commercials on youtube or something. is the superbowl even over yet? ho hums some more.
so what else have i done that’s geeky lately…well there’s KoL and isketch and stuff of course. Been playing solitare a lot. i’m sort of getting back into card games. kind of fell off them for a while. i taught jacobus how to play kings on the corners. And nibbles too. I need to get people to play schmere with me. i swear i’m having withdrawals. Like about a week ago, i started playing open-handed with myself. Yep. Sad.

curious and questioning
in February 4th, 2007 @ 21:36I’m probably both, but more geek than nerd. I ♥ math (I’m like the only person in my school with this math obsession, we were talking about it in science because we sit in the last two rows and were supposed to be making this easy graph thing but were all done, and I was being serious, and like math is cool+fun+good+I love it and all the other math people were saying no it doesn’t/isn’t and Brian especially was mocking me, but back on topic…), I’m also like the only person in school who does competitive science fair anymore, I’m slightly a music geek (actually more like nerd, and Brian’s way more so than I am, if he mocks me I’ll retaliate), but I’m in brass ensemble and jazz band and normal band of course and I was in all-county band and I’m doing a NYSSMA solo (only level 3, I started later than like everyone at a low level and got an “outstanding”, I think the top level’s called) and I’m in select chorus. And lego league probably counts as science or math. Absolutely no physical sport interest. I liked the musical, but this year they’re doing a play instead, our town, and it’s depressing and I’d have to quit everything to be in it, so I can’t expose my inner drama geek. That’s why I’m on MuseBlog at odd hours of the night- that’s when I have time. Sleep is for the weak. (my all-time favorite West Wing quote, probably, or at least I use it the most) Oh, and there aren’t school spelling bees so I can’t use my mad spelling skillz to win them, but in third grade at the last tie spelling bees were held, i used to be good with easy words like “triangle”. Third grade just didn’t challenge me. I tied Allison as the fastest one to memorize their multiplication tables to ten, in the fastest time possible, one test a week. Most of elementary school was easy.

in February 5th, 2007 @ 07:18I still have no idea whether I’m a geek or a nerd and I intend to continue using the words interchangeably.
29 ~ I got Sarah the evil killer rabbit plush and Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch plush for Christmas and her birthday. xD
33 ~ You and I have so much in common. o.o You watched the West Wing? I adored that show. We have the first three seasons on DVD.
26-28 is the top level, and yes, it’s called outstanding.
I’m jealous of your MBing-at-odd-hours-of-the-nightness because that’s often when I have time, too, but my parents make me turn the computer off at nine.
And I don’t know how many elementary school grades I could’ve skipped if they’d let me. I think I’ll homeschool my kids someday.

yesterday's_kinked_moose
in February 5th, 2007 @ 12:16I always thought of the words nerd and geek as being interchangable until lately. It seems that the words nerd and geek have aquired more specific meanings in recent years, whereas several years ago ‘geek’ might have just been used as a general insult rather than to mean a specific kind of looked-down-upon person. There is no credible source to back my opinions, but i think of a nerd as someone who is socially inept, not concerned with his/her appearence and as an unusually strong interest in things that are not very popular with most people. For instance, a trekkie would be a specific kind of nerd. I think of a geek as a nerd who has put his/her skils and qualities to practical use. A math nerd would get good grades in math and a computer nerd might be able to get a job working with computers. So a nerd could evolve into a geek. As for myself, i’m probably a little of both. I get good grades, but other than that i don’t have any peculiar interests that will ever do me any good. But that’s no reason to stop being nerdy.

Ebeth The Ubiquitous Ãœber
in February 5th, 2007 @ 12:2745-i’d have to disagree. trekkies are geeks. speaking klingon, while amusing, isn’t that relevant to the so-called “real world” Geeks live in their own little fantasy worlds. Nerds are just smart. And geeks are so much more interesting. XD
Nerds can be rather popular though. Or at least accepted. Even the popular kids like to get decent grades once in a while. And they trust nerds to give them the right answers, because their friends, while popular and cool and all that, aren’t usually any smarter than they are.
Geeks aren’t popular or accepted (except by kewl people XD). Not useful enough.

in February 5th, 2007 @ 14:36I’m definitely a geek. Actually, I usually say nerd, instead of geek. I don’t know why, but anyhow.
I’m definitely a musik / drama nerd. And I’m also a science nerd…In other words, I have two very different areas of interest. And…I have no idea which area to plan my career in. :S
But I do have a “life.” At least I think I do. Dunno if that breaks any geek/nerd rules or not…

Sweet Melpomene
in February 5th, 2007 @ 15:08Nerd…geek…I probably qualify as both. I always thought that nerds were generally smart people, and geekdom had to do with specialized hobbies or interests.
That being said, I am a chem geek, physics geek, lit geek, and art geek. Oh, and a bit of a Trekkie, but I’m not really on the Klingon-speaking level. Trying to cut back on that show… Oh, who am I kidding? I love Data.
That never leaves the blog.
I do not have a life, and my acquaintances and family joke about it oftenly. I was grounded yesterday and made duct tape wallets. From hot pink duct tape. It’s my new favourite thing ever.

Lady Visala of Reverie
in February 5th, 2007 @ 17:29I don’t think I really qualify as a band geek, despite my involvement for the past three years. I have last chair and never practise. I do not treasure my French horn; in fact, I have a smashed one hanging on my wall.
I do consider myself a grammer nerd, however. I do so enjoy correcting people on grammer. I also like pointing out logical fallacies. We studied them extensively in my English class.
If I did rocketry more often (weather/finances permitting), I would definately be a rocketry geek.
I’m good at math, but I’m not a nerd about it.
That’s as far as my nerd-dom goes. But I am bright.However, I am a geek about Crawlspace Eviction. For instance, the fact that one of them left me a happy birthday message on MySpace *shudder* has given my life meaning. I am not kidding. I have a shrine of them above my bed. I go to every single show I can manage and hang around afterwards, waiting for hugs or a conversation. And if any of them ever find this post, I will no longer have a life to have meaning.
Or is “groupie” a better word for the above? Their photographer seems to think so.

in February 5th, 2007 @ 19:03nerd –noun Slang. 1. a stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person.
2. an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit: a computer nerd.[Origin: 1960–65, Americanism; obscurely derived expressive formation]

I think that the the most part of the 2nd defintion is the best overall.

in February 5th, 2007 @ 19:56I think that when people call people geeks and nerds, it’s kind of weird in and of it’s self. Like, there are definitions and stuff(hehe, see above) but calling someone or yourself a geek/nerd is still labeling even if you take pride in it.
but I still love being kind of quirky/smart/bookish!!!!
i just don’t like calling it geekishness/nerdiness
because just because I’m smart, I’m still a tiny bit girly, and like clothes and stuff. just not makeup and boys and stuff like that like some.

in February 6th, 2007 @ 18:4948: Oh, sweet! I used to have a neon purple duct tape wallet…but it fell apart.
Sometimes the drama nerds (myself included) go hang out in the auditorium during skool – We usually end up standing onstage and screaming about one thing or another, LOL. I’ve hung out there twice – And both times, we got chewed out by one of the principals. Haha, it’s like they have nothing better to do than yell at kids who are having fun (…and not even destroying skool property in the process!).

in February 6th, 2007 @ 21:2436-My mom has all seven seasons on DVD, and I’ve started buying the first two seasons off iTunes. They don’t have 3-7, unfortunately. My favorite episodes include The Stackhouse Filibuster, Shibboleth, 20 Hours in America, and The Cracpots And These Women (big block of cheese day!!!). Sorkin-written seasons (first 4) are better. Scarily in common. Someday I should just invite you and Penguini and Potato Chip over for a mini-kokonvention. Busy in late July? (the first time I’m free)
48-ish- I have dark blue and silver duct tape.I want to make a dress, or at least a bag, but I need time and instructions.
51- Salmon of Doubt!!! In mathcounts today I was so tempted to get a problem wrong by making 6×9=42 in part of a factorial.
62- Which state? NY, or rest-of-the-US?
65- MuseBlog is the only place where my peers recognize Tom Lehrer. Except Lisa, who I burned a CD for, and who finds joy in accidentally mixing up the order of numbers in New Math. You can’t take 2 from 3, 3 is less than 2… But she’s been my friend since 5th grade, so it’s OK. I memorized the first 47 elements, too during lunch the past three years. Hydrogen-silver. Yep. Be impressed!
I’m a nerd/geek, and proud of it! I am not a dork, however, at least not in my hearing. And I’m a mathlete to the core.
mathlete- one who enjoys math for math’s sake
Allison said that in mathcounts today too. Sameer and I are mathletes, but she is not, apparently. I’m not quite sure whether it’s a compliment or insult. I’ll take it as a compliment, I guess.

Is it bad my favorite thing to do is set off bottle rockets? There’s a park at the end of my street, and it has two fields. The nearer one I can see from my house, the farther one I can’t. One day, around March, I go out there and test my newest. It’s bright blue. The guys playing football see it go up and hit it. So I have no choice but to go over there and pick it up. That’s how much of a geek I am.

in February 7th, 2007 @ 20:48got pacman today. i was depressed b/c andy said his comp lost it, but then i remembered that i’d given it to leeny when i was using mark’s so i stole it from her. and was happy. whee, pacman! then messerly came over in science and starts up this random conversation about videogames. she’s rambling about how she just has old systems and how cool they still are and whatever and i’m just like “yeeah, i don’t have ANY system.” so she talked to leeny about arcades instead. I despise arcades, but i like comp and calky games.
i got the orcish frat boy costume on KoL. Which, in case i haven’t mentioned, is life. Also got into the Obligatory Pirate’s Cove and got the swashbuckling costume. The hippies don’t want to give up their clothes though. Odd, considering…but you only need the hat and pants for the hippy costume and i’ve got the hat. And i beat the boss bat. and the king of cobb’s knob. and i got the meatcar. it was a very profitable day for me. i had about 200 adv. to start. ’twas good.
Oh! i read ender’s game last night. It was really good. and i was able to read the whole thing straight through (skipping a good bit of hw, true, but you can’t have everything) First time i’ve been able to do that in a while. i’ve been actually going to bed. Like, at a semi-decent time. although actually i read two plays straight through though. So it’s not really the first in a long time at all…but whatever. it’s still special, ok? Gosh, nobody appreciates me! How would you all feel if i just went and jumped off a cliff? You’d laugh! you’d probably be glad to be rid of me! You’d probably throw a party! Well you’re not going to get rid of me! I’m just going to go into this corner and cry! I mean it’s not like anybody appreciates me! Nobody cares what i think! So i’ll just go sit over here and cry! You’re so mean to me! Why on earth would you want to make me cry? That’s barbaric! I should slap you! Low-down piece of dirt! Making a poor child cry! You ought to be ashamed of yourself! What if i HAD jumped off that cliff? You’d be in trouble, that’s what! You’d be in jail! It would be all your fault! Well i’m just going to go poetry about you, that’s what i’m going to do. ANGRY poetry! And i’ll post it online! And then maybe people will sympathize with me! But nobody will, because nobody cares. Nobody appreciates my talent.
I don’t know where on earth that came from. Sugar, probably. XD let’s hope i can ramble that much on my essay too.

in February 7th, 2007 @ 21:5374- You memorized the whole thing? *awe* I could probably if I put my mind to it, but I’d probably mix up the verses and crack up when I started to sing in front of the class and my earth science teacher wouldn’t give me extra credit- you can’t get extra credit in regents classes. According to this teacher. And it’s not exactly earth science, more like chem.
75- Not a survey exactly, but Helen and Allison said take it either way, and Mark I think would probably say something in the tone of you’re so good bitterly and say just take it as a compliment, and you were closer than Lisa, so I acted on an impulse and asked you, because I thought you were probably enough of a mathlete to give the right answer, and I’d take it either way if someone told me to- I wasn’t sure.
76- KoL=Kingdom of Loathing? I was randomly online late one night (well technically early one morning) a few weeks ago, and found this page in this might be a wiki on TMBG references in KoL, and from there got to the KoL wiki page, and it sounded weird/freaky/cool but I didn’t think anyone I knew would recognize it. That’s interesting. What do you think of it? You have rekindled my curiosity.

doc didn’t really take 20 pts off. that made me happy. and made him teh pwnage again.
oh, we had a big assembly for black history month. we had the athletic person guy from OSU, so we (meaning the hardcore band geeks) played the notre dame (where he’s from) and OSU fight songs. go us. He gave a speech, and there was another speech by a girl who had moved here in 6th grade from the ghetto and now coaches track at some college or other that i forget, and some dancing. quincy was the only dancer i knew, but cheese knew another one, and the girl that does announcements was another.
oh and cheese and i skipped about half of study hall and got mildly admonished-more disapprovingly looked at really-but we’re gonna leave from the cafeteria now instead of the library and go down to the band room or something. cuz they don’t let you do ANYTHING in study hall any more. that crazy lady is making study halls all over into a complete joke. like the librarians actually care now. or almos does at least. nolan’s still pretty cool, but he’s not around as much.
i think jacob’s idea was good, asking for the costume room keys, but i doubt we’d get them. still think we should try though.

i bet that you look good on the dancefloor
in February 8th, 2007 @ 17:15curious and questioning-
google “overclocking ti-83’s” – i found a website once, but it does involve taking apart the calculator, funky pieces of processing, and blowtorches. maybe u should upgrade to… TI-84+ silver edition!!! (u can also buy funky covers for this model to pimp it out)
i guess if im talking this much about graphing calculators, im on the right thread
p.s. if anybody knows how to program in ti-basic, post sum’n – it seems like only the hardcore (like me) know stuff like that
p.p.s. why is some stuff (monty python, especially) considered “nerdy/geeky”? i guess if u only watched it in your mom’s basement it would be, but any python is awesome with some friends – it does not mean no social interaction

in February 8th, 2007 @ 20:5389- Thanks, I guess. I doubt my parents would let me play with a blowtorch and an expensive calculator. I also doubt they’d buy another more-expensive calculator for me. I wish I’d gotten a ti-84+ to begin with. Why is it that a ti-83+ has around 20000 bytes of memory, but on the ti website with downloadable apps, they have all these for the “ti-83 and 84 family” that I know for a fact by checking other people’s calcs take up like 60000 bytes. I’m seriously considering deleting some of the less-used stuff that came with it. Only archived stuff like those don’t take up RAM. What does that I can safely delete?

I just spent an hour looking stuff up online. Overclocking increases speed of apps. Don’t care much about speed. I just want games(at least one) on my TI-83+. I need memory. I read something on ticalc.com, I think it was, about a mem adder program, but I couldn’t find it. I am now looking at games on ticalc.com that will fit on my calculator, having given up on changing something within, the memory. Do apps go into archive memory place or normal ram?

My calc is totally pimped. I found these stickers of eyes / noses / mouths / etc the other day…I put to evil-looking eyes and fangs on the cover thingie to my calc…Math is just frightening like that!*Goes into drama geek mode* I think the auditorium is my favourite place to hang out nowadays. I was in there w/ Ashley during second lunch yesterday. We were sitting underneath the light box / room thingie (above the stage), when all these random pieces of paper / old scripts started falling on our heads! Turns out that there were two guys up there, but they were so quiet that we didn’t know – it was kinda scary!

It keeps going through the hole in the wall… The program won’t recognise hanging the towel over the metal hook, but at least I found a dispenser. Better than last time.And I express jealousy for those who have a calc that Puzzle Pack actually fits on. (note the strained angry-ness in my “voice”)
Lego league competition tomorrow. So nervous… I don’t know my lines, I gave up all control of the robot and presentation last week, I keep missing the extra practices because I have so many extracurriculars, and I have both homework and school Monday that need to get done. And the competition’s an hour away.

in February 11th, 2007 @ 17:56It’s funny. At my school, being a combination science (but violently opposed to math)/band/totally fashion unconscious geek puts you at the bottom of the heap. At the high school, however, band geeks are the most popular people there are.
I don’t want to be popular. I think of popularity as the worst curse that could be laid on a person.

in February 12th, 2007 @ 12:17126 – A curse it is. However, I’ve got it kinda easy cuz I’m pretty much the strangest girl in the grade and I’m still part of a 15 person sized group of friends. I’m not the least popular, but I’m most definently not the most popular because those people are pretty much stuck-up snobs obsessed with fashoin. (sorry, just had to say that.)
124 – Extra cirruculars. Hmm………volleyball, choir, forensics, assistant teaching, karate, fencing, tech crew, and a ton of other stuff. My mom’s not very happy about driving me everywhere.
118 – Me too. Well, actually like a week or so ago. ACT and SAT on the same weekend. And the SAT was supposed to be for highschoolers going into college. I’m not even in highschool yet, and I did not get, like, any of the math stuff. Oh well.
107 – Good Job! Our school cancelled the cheerleading team (mumble mumble) about five years ago. blah. I’m on the volleyball team, and at the tournament we were at this weekend some moms decided to be cheerleaders and started yelling stuff whenever it was my teams turn to serve. grrrrrrrr.
90 – Yay! Compromises! I got a ton of Aeropostale clothing for Christmas, go to parties, hang out with my freinds, and still find time to stick my nose in a book for hours, swordfight every Saturday, and spend time on the internet. Wow.
76 – Just finished Enders Game. Omygosh it’s such a good book.Overall, ME = book geek, drama geek, art geek, music geek, and a little bit of a computer geek.

in February 13th, 2007 @ 21:54I tried getting it from someone’s TI-84+. They didn’t have it archived. *idea* Do you think if I get them to archive it and then send it to me, I’ll have it archived when I get it, and all will be joy? That should work. I could annoy Robert by trying to get it from him for like the seventh time.
But there will, there must be snow days tomorrow and Thursday, so I’ll do it Tuesday. *joy* Thanks! (Now, of course, it won’t work., because I’m pessimistic that way.)

1. K mart
I haven’t read much of the thread but I would recommend a TI 83 Plus or a TI84
If you are doing very complicated math you should consider a more advanced one like a TI85

in February 17th, 2007 @ 00:09everyone of my sisters friiends has a nickname… her’s is “tuz”, ryan (a girl) is “gee” (don’t ask), dinah is “dr.”, sarah is…. well she talks to walls. and mimi is “trevor”. well, i wanted a name, and so did my friend jocelyn. so we learned to speak some made up languages (Simlish, like in Sims computer game; and Hsilgne-Hsilgne, or backwards language). then we made up nicknames. mine is “Dren” (nerd backwards), and hers is “Krod” (strange, but dork backwards). my sister, “tuz” is “enasni” or insane. describes her perfectly.
i don’t really kno that krod is a dork, but w/e she liked it. i am a nerd, very smart if i do say so myself. i rigged the laptops provided by my school (and it’s a public school, too) to i could go online whenever i wanted, and go to blocked sites and personalize my desktop and many other things that i can’t remember. why this is important i don’t kno.
reading is my thing! a book a day keeps summer school away, unlness of course you want summer school because you miss school so much… which i might. but my plethoras of summer camps (and classes at the community college w/ my mom) including at NOAA…. yada yada yada.
my friend says that i am not a true nerd because i hoped for a sno day, in fact i am always hoping for a sno day. even in june. who knos? it could happen!!! freak sno storms are POSSIBLE, after all.

but i like makeup and clothes, and doing my hair, and makeovers, and girly stuff, and romance novels…. about as much as Jules Verne. my other fave author Meg Cabot. female heros who arenot typical (go girls!). coolishness.
now i’m just typing for the sake of ding something becaus neither Cabot or Verne is calling to me. i would like to try Nietzche, but when i asked my mom, she just looked at me funny and had me google him.

yup. especially the ones who live far away.
4. You have perfected the art of playing games in math class, right down to pausing from time to time to scratch your head and maybe scribble something. You never get caught.

I do else something infinetely more productive.3. You spend more time talking to your friends online than you do in real life or even on the phone
I’m split 50-50, email and school.4. You have perfected the art of playing games in math class, right down to pausing from time to time to scratch your head and maybe scribble something. You never get caught.
I used to talk about random things but then my seat got moved and I’m all lonely. I do my french homework (the repetitive writing words over and over kind).5. You can understand the bad jokes that your teachers make about whatever it is you’re studying.

Milady the Most Honourable Curious And Questioning the Lachrymose of Yetts O'Muckhart
in February 18th, 2007 @ 22:071. You’d rather go to the book store than the mall.
That’s me.2. Billy Bob Joe and Fred both invite you over. Billy Bob Joe is hott and likes you, but Fred has a Wii. Whose house do you go to?
OK, first of all, these are two people of the opposite gender, and they invite me over? That never happens. Second, I don’t grok “hott”. I just don’t get it and nobody has been able to explain. Third, I’ve found the examples in the definitions of “hott” are usually people not on honor roll, and I wouldn’t consider them for even a second. Fourth, nobody that I know likes me, in all probability. I’m not even sure they’re sure I’m human and not vulcan. Fifth, nobody I know has a wii. Sixth, I have never played a video game not on computer, so I’d be kind of lost. Seventh, how do I feel about them? Lastly, I’d probably get one of them to reschedule so I can see them both or have too much homework to see either.3. You spend more time talking to your friends online than you do in real life or even on the phone.
In all likelihood. Actually, it seems I have two sets of friends, those I know online and see rarely, and those I see everyday in school who never check their email or whose email I don’t know.4. You have perfected the art of playing games in math class, right down to pausing from time to time to scratch your head and maybe scribble something. You never get caught.
If only I had games on my calculator. *wistful sigh* I pay attention in class, though, and I’m like the only person to volunteer.5. You can understand the bad jokes that your teachers make about whatever it is you’re studying.
Too true. My social studies teacher has forever asociated me with Monty Python. Not that it’s a bad thing, but I’ll never live it down. It is funny, though. This is the same teacher that thinks I’m like the smartest person there. *not bursting his bubble*

1. You’d rather go to the book store than the mall.
Oh, definitely. Even better: the library.
2. Billy Bob Joe and Fred both invite you over. Billy Bob Joe is hott and likes you, but Fred has a Wii. Whose house do you go to?
Umm…how about I stay home and read a book.
3. You spend more time talking to your friends online than you do in real life or even on the phone
Definitely. And usually online I don’t even talk to my “school friends.”
4. You have perfected the art of playing games in math class, right down to pausing from time to time to scratch your head and maybe scribble something. You never get caught.
Aside from making froody pictures of the Muses in biology class, (my teacher, by the way, resembles one of those slug things from star wars and eats chalk), I don’t do anything in class except do homework or actually take notes
5. You can understand the bad jokes that your teachers make about whatever it is you’re studying.
Yep, usually.

-Anime geek (to an extent, I used to be much more so than now, but I never reached the “I CAN SPEAK JAPANANESE BISHIE BISHIE KAWAII DESU NE ^_______^” stage), and general animation geek — yes, people, anime are cartoons too.
-Grammar and spelling geek (the phrase “would of grinds my gears)
-Hitchhiker’s Guide geek! Really, haven’t we all felt like Arthur at some point in our lives?
-Music geek — featuring bands you’re guaranteed to have never heard of, and ones that are just plain geeky (To Be Giants or not to Be Giants, that is the question).
-Internet geek — I’m hip to (most) of the shock sites out there! No way you’re surprising me with a gross picture!
-Humor/comedy geek! Angst and emo are astoundingly boring. Bring on the funny!
-Love-and-peace rights-for-all geek, although I’m not sure that’s even geeky. Still, the fact remains that people who call things “gay” need to find a new insult. We know you’re insecure, you don’t need to exploit innocent words to prove it.
-Book geek! I read Memoirs of a Geisha in two days.
-Politics geek — it’s just a part of my Truthiness.
Wow, I guess I cover almost every base of geekiness that there is. I’m a socially maladjusted, unathletic geeky girl but this is not news to me.

in February 22nd, 2007 @ 16:56I don’t think the word gay should be such a big deal to everyone. It’s the person’s own business if they are gay or not and people shouldn’t talk about it all the time like it’s funny or even important to them. My school has a GSA and I’m not part of it for these reasons. Also, it bugs me how they have a “national day of silence” for gay people. Most people just do it for attention or to be like everyone else or so that they don’t have to answer any questions in classes. But for the people that really mean it, it’s like people honoring gay people. I know, I know, it’s to protest the mistreatment of gays and all that, but, as I said, it’s none of our business. If they’re gonna have a day of silence for gays, they might as well have one for Middle eastern people, Mexican migrants, rednecks, people that are technically retards, idiots, morons, etc.Jews, Christians, Muslims, and everyone else that fall under a category that are made fun of by other people.

curious and questioning the ellipsis fan
in February 23rd, 2007 @ 15:37166- You sound loudly crisp. You’d be surprised about the bands, though. I ♥ TMBG. At least most of what I’ve heard so far. example: Have you ever heard of Tom Lehrer? I thought I was the only one, but he’s practially common knowledge here.

in February 23rd, 2007 @ 19:25As a girl in high school, I must post my philosophy on adolescent males: all nice guys are homosexual.
However, I’d be happy to be proven wrong on a forum, because I haven’t met anyone. -nods-

Dodecahedron (c+q)
in March 24th, 2007 @ 16:55Science fair today. Neither Korrora nor I won anything, but that’s OK. What really bothers me is that certain people, who I shall not name, who heard my angry rants every time the other fair was brought up, still went to the MSTE and not the competitive fair. When I see them on Monday I’m going to be very angry.
