To that big pink cliff, a parachute of Geeky Girl statements strapped to our back. Almost time for plot...

From Pamela Martin
1. Obvious: Geek girls feel perpetually alienated.
1. Obvious: Geek girls feel perpetually alienated.
2. By our late teens, we stop feeling embarrassed about said alienation.
3. We tell anecdotes that are dismissed as irrelevant by non-geeks.
4. We know the names of directors, not actors.
5. We sometimes forget to put on clean clothes. This is truly forgetfulness, not an act of defiance or rebellion. Similarly, we accidentally sleep in our "good" clothes.
6. We can spend two days in a room writing or reading something.
7. We think about our records.
8. We frequently forget what year it is.
9. When we see grammatical errors on signs and documents, we fix them in our heads.
10. We think about the origin of phrasal verbs.
11. If we own makeup, it's expired.
12. We have a host of gross habits, e.g. picking scabs, pulling out strands of hair, etc.
13. We can immediately identify other geeks girls.
14. We love Risk and board games.
15. We love making lists.
16. Our nails are always fucked up and dirty.
17. We may have a chipped tooth or two.
18. We have gone to too many movies and concerts alone.
19. Geek girls usually love the Fall.
20. GG have accepted that awkwardness is forever.

Milkyboots! Hi! What is a track stand competition?
Like, you see who can stand up long enough?
it's where you see who can balance longest without putting their feet down (on track bikes)

9. When we see grammatical errors on signs and documents, we fix them in our heads.
--- I do this ALL the time... It annoys people who love me. Ha Ha Ha...
I recently had a conversation with an acquaintence of about a year. He honestly thought that I show up almost everywhere alone, and leave almost everywhere alone because this is the way that I like it. Apparently MANY people hold this opinion.
They are so dead wrong...
I may be a peculiar sort of loner...but it isn't quite by choice!
I have a lot more to add to that, but it will become rather bulky for a "comment."
If you care to hear more on it, I shall try to be kind and put it in my own blog. heeheeehee
Oh...heeheehee, Miss Sari, lover of blue painter's tape (which anything sticky and blue MUST be good!), I have the same uh...'issue.' Bad thing is, I live in China, land of the grammatical/spelling error!
I have many times asked why can't I have the job of being paid vast amounts of money to wander about and fix all the "Chinglish"?
"CAOTION! FLOORS WETT!"
"The train to Hangzhou will be arrived soon."
OUCH!!!!!
