you know, fucking running out of labels. I know everyone said some day being a geek would be cool. I don’t know if they entirely meant hip cool, or that geeks run the world now, kinda. All the same, I see a lot of people these days that call themselves geeks. I guess ‘computer geek’ would be more accurate for what people always thought I was, but I don’t take to that well because I don’t think I fit any stereotype of computer geek. Yes, I know a lot of random computer shit, and much of it is to impressive depths if you’re the type that cares about it at all. But I know how to fix a lot of things, some to small degrees, others to much deeper ones. It all depends on how much I needed to spend time on it at the time. I kind of figured that was the significant part of my geekdom. M-w by way of wikipedia says “The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as “a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly intellectual”. I don’t know, I still feel thats accurate, but somehow people seem to feel like they’re geeky if they’re really into something random.

One size never does fit all I suppose, and people are just going to have to not stereotype and care enough to ask if they want to know what I really think.

Finally did go snowshoeing today, been talking about it since coming back from visiting Maine over Christmas vacation. That was awesome. Having the suburban back is definitely super. Actually an awesome weekend, went to a couple good food places in Georgetown, cleaned up the yard, dump run, bought snowshoes. Good times.
