I am a Geek. Plain and simple, there is no better way of putting it. I saw a poster once and it was of a bunch of people and above each of their pictures were the words "I Geek..." then each of them had what they loved to do. When I saw this poster i thought "What Would I put on a poster that i Geeked?" (I don't know if geeked is a verb... but it is now). Well I love to run, long distances... Thats about as geeky as you can get with running. (farrell that isn't a bad thing). I've spent a lot of time in cross country, 6 years in fact. Made it to state twice with my team. Made it to state in the 3000(two mile) in track. So in other words I LOVE RUNNING... me gusta correr... Or I geek running.
So now that i had my poster quote all picked out i was.... oh wait i also enjoy music, well hold on I might need to add that in something about that cause in band i play the flute and i sing soprano in choir. I LOVE band trips and band camp (wow i hear the geek police sirens going off now) And there is something about makeing just the perfect harmony in choir that makes me want to jump with joy. SO I really like music too, so i think we can fit this in somewhere, maybe rephrase just alittle. "I am a 3000 running, sop
rano singing, band geek." A little wordy but it will do... Speaking of wordy my goodness i almost forgot i enjoy writing. I've been writing stories since before i knew how to write (I would come up with the stories and my brother would right them down then i would draw pictures with them). Not to mention the countless unfinished masterpieces in old notebooks scatered around my room (plus one story that is probably in timbuctoo after falling of the back of my dad's truck in 5th grade (sorry Hope)) So I also REALLY, REALLY like to write, oh wait and read... This Could get tricky. Jane Austen You are My weakness not to mention Charlotte Bronte. OK This is extremely difficult! OH NO.... Theatre... probably my biggest geek of all... whether i'm on stage or backstage or even just watching the play!!!!!! omg am i a theatre geek... this will definately not fit on a little square on a poster...From this stupid poster i saw hanging in some hallway or classroom ive found that I can classify myself into one thing. I dont think i could give up very many of my activities to just focus on one. Ever since i was little i've just always been busy and thats how my life will hopefully always be. So what do you call a Cross country running, soprano singing, story writeing, classics reading, thespian,band geek? Well I guess you could write that out everytime you wanted to say it... if you had the time. But I would say it can be simply stated as geek, Even more simply put... Me.
Carrie, I think I've seen these posters before... but it may have been awhile ago. I hope you're not too busy for ME next year :/
