Geek, thy name is ME.

Do we all know just how much of a geek I am, and how much joy I derive from my geekdom?

Because we all should.

Derive joy from geekdom, that is; I'm not saying we should all know how much of a geek I am.

But I'd sort of forgotten how much of my geekitude I hide from the world at large, because my best friends and my family--they so know. But spending 8 hours in a car with people who DON'T know how geeky I am?

Well. It put things in perspective. We played the alphabet game, and unlike when I had breakfast with zoe_chan, aradiachiba and awigeon... there were no superheroes or wizards invoked at all. We played using names, music and food. Seriously.

Also, we passed an emu farm and I said (in deadpan) "If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you an exotic pet--like a llama, or an emu."

When that got NO REACTION I said "If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a green dress--but not a real green dress, that's cruel."

And they all looked at me like I was crazy. I was hoping for laughter.

I'm not sure what spawned this--no, wait, I do. I was listening to music. And the lyrics were pretenscious and verbose and witty. I can't remember now what it was, but. Possibly not anything about pre-wrapped sausages.

My amusement and geekdom are along the lines of how the Captain Planet theme song kills me in the use of the line "Gonna help him pull asunder bad guys who like to loot and plunder." (Or something like that.) Because seriously, the words "asunder" and "plunder" not only rhyme, they're insanely awesome in the context of a cartoon theme song I watched when I was too little to know what the hell that meant.

I *really* want to write, and I want to make some DC icons and that means making ROOM for more icons and this makes me sad. But, omg, have fallen in love with Roy Harper. It's sad, really. And my love for Dick Grayson is still utterly intact and pure.

Plus, it's pretty when he jumps around like that.

I think I'm in the mood for some 5 things type writing. Hmm, that could be fun.
