The Geeky Meme: There Are Geeks…

Image November 26, 2013November 26, 2013PeepSideshow Darkward13 Comments

Another Monday, another Meme I wasn’t going to do. Not because I thought it was too hard, but because I didn’t think it applied to me. lol well, it seems there are geeks, and then there are GEEKS…

Meme Instructions: Create an image depicting what you consider to be geeky/nerdy/dorky and/or answer the following questions! Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments (of this post) and if you do a picture for this meme, feel free to share it in the blog memes flickr group.

1. What do you consider yourself to be? Geek? Nerd? Dork? None of the above? All of the above? Of the three I would consider myself a dork. I’m not into video games (SL excepted), comic books, the periodical table nor am I a Mensa member. I am quirky and clumsy. My ex-husband told me I was the only person who could trip on dry concrete o.O

2. What was the first computer you ever owned? The first one I personally owned on my own was a Tandy 386 (I think). To be honest, I can’t really remember. However, I can tell you the names of every computer I’ve owned in the last 10 years (Raoul, Rod, Reg, Baby, Fernando and Esteban). See? I told you I was quirky 😀

3. When and how did you first get on the internet? Compuserve and AOL. A long time ago lol

4. Which geek fandom do you subscribe to? I don’t. I’m really not into science fiction or games so there’s nothing for me to obsess about. Unless shoes count.

5. Star Trek or Star Wars? Probably Star Trek, but I limit that to The Next Generation. Picard is sexy, ok? 😉

6. How Geeky Are You? lol this is what made me laugh. I took the test and my score was… 80%!!!! And I giggled at the message I received:

Smartypants! Why are you mucking about with stupid personality quizzes instead of solving the world’s energy problems and genetically engineering flies that can find their way around windows?

Me? I’d rather go cook up a lil something for Jean-Luc…he must be tired of replicator food by now 😉

...and then there are GEEKS! — …and then there are GEEKS!

Introspection Meme: After All, Tomorrow Is Another Day

Ugh. I wasn’t going to do this meme. I was firmly convinced that I would tuck it in the “too hard basket” and let it rot. I’ve done that a couple of times with Miss Berry’s Monday Memes and I’ve felt guilty each time I have skipped one. Not because I skipped it, but because I allowed it to sit in that ugly basket that clutters a dusty and dark corner of my mind.

I actually started to write this yesterday, going so far as to copy the questions into a post, but then I stopped. Self-examination is never easy and yesterday I was having a blue day. Looking into myself and facing my faults wasn’t going to happen. It was easier to curl up on the couch with my cat and my Kindle and play Scarlett.

But this morning, armed with a cup of tea and a more positive outlook, here I sit. I’m still not entirely comfortable with my answers, but here they are. After all, tomorrow came and it is another day.

Best & Worst Meme: A Tale Of Two Peeps

I could easily quote Charles Dickens here, but I’m not going to go the easy route. OK, so I kinda did in the title, but forgive me – Dickens is one of my favourite authors so I couldn’t let it go without mention!

Miss Berry has asked us to share our Bests & Worsts related to Second Life. At first glance, this seemed to be an easy challenge, but while thinking about the questions I realised it’s not that simple. There are so many good – and bad – things about Second Life it is hard to narrow it down. I shall, however, do my best not to make this the worst meme I’ve done!

Here’s what she asked us to do:

Meme Instructions: Copy and paste the questions and answers below, delete my answers and input your own. The twist is, the final question you need to change and make up your own best & worst that you want to share. Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments of this post.
