Random acts of geekery: We are not alone...

We geeks are usually a closet group... not seen much, not heard much, but we pervade everywhere. Occasionally, be rise above our social inteptitude to make ourselves briefly heard...

Or, in other words. Ever seen/sighted anything geeky in the normal, everyday world?

Today, I saw something that somebody had written on one of the white boards in one of my classes. It was in the Gnommish alphabet from the Artemis Fowl series.

Whaboutyouseall?

Well, I have a friend who somehow has it all. Hes a geek, in football, an artist, a comic geek, hangs with the populars, hangs with the geeks, and a video gamer, etc, etc. You guys may know him as mini moose n gir.

Just watch Tech TV, or G4 TV. That's where all the geeks that were blessed with half decent looks are.

This Foxtrot is pretty geeky.
There are 8 zeros or ones in a byte like in the groups of numbers in the cereal.
Also if you figure out what letter is represented by the bytes you see that is spells out "you nerd"

I also occasionally see someone with a "back in the day" shirt at school.

Dude. Good books. Awesome books. I have the second two. And yeah, I translated the whole message that goes across the bottom of the pages on the first book. I just really wanted to know what it said. Which is pretty stupid, considering I coulda just gone online and found it. But oh well. I still have that in a notebook somewhere. That took a freaking long time. But what it says is pretty funny. ANYWAY...

I saw that comic in the paper the other day.

I saw some girl wearing a ninja headband from Naru-wait, that was me >_>

Some guy at school who saw me with it was all like "YEAH! NARUTO!" So funny XD

I am blessed with an adundance of geekery. I go to a all-geek school (well, geeks and stoner...geeks.) It's great! Even the preps would be geeks anywhere else. I am exposed to, and part of, random act of geekery on a daily basis. Like writing TMBG lyrics on my english teacher's dry erase.

My friends and I (mainly Eldiran and Pocky) are usually the sources for the random acts of geekiness. I doubt if there is anyone in our school geekier than us who we're not already friends with. I can't think of anything specific at the moment, but when I do, I'll be sure to post it.

We did essays on aging and maturing in English class, and my partner used lyrics from a TMBG song in hers. "You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older..."

My RAOGs usually involve drawing little Triforces on things, and occasionally writing classic video game quotes on things/blurting them out randomly. Suffice to say, real-life conversations with me are weird.

One of the answers to my math questions today was '1337'.

I started humming the main theme from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and this kid in my science class started singing along.

I spotted two Strong Bad t-shirts at Assembly last year, but that place is usually swarming with geeks anyway.

When I was at the Pennsylvania State Thespian Conference a coupla months ago, these two kids started singing the Mario theme, so Eldiran and I joined in. We didn't even know them.

A guy two grades above me in school is a Homestar fan. he dressed up as Homestar for Character Day during our spirit week. I saw him and was like "Hey! You're Homestar." and he said "Was it my star or propeller cap that gave it away?" And I was gonna say SB's line, but we were going opposite ways up and down the stairs, so I couldn't. He's got a H*R sweat shirt too.

Does this count? I write my own comic series during school and show them to my friends, who are obsessed with them. They tend to randomly blurt out quotes from my comics during class and, where we hang out he most --in the library. Very loudly.

"Hi! I'm Bertha-Brittany. But y'all can call me 'Berthany'."

xD

Edit: Oh, yes. There's also the fact that I enjoy talking in H*R character voices on a regular basis. (Well, the ones I can imitate.)
