It's true. I am.
I am a geek. A Magic-playing, karaoke-singing, Halo-pwning, geek. I pride myself on the fact that I can kick your butt at Wii boxing, leave you penniless at Monopoly, know proper Tudor court dress and manners, and act as my friends' very own walking, talking Wikipedia.
But, it is a very, very silent pride. I come from a community where geeks are scorned, and want the kind of life that requires me to pull off utter normalicy at all times, since my job will be to moniter an image. The image I present will eventually be the image of the company.
The other day, one of my friends called me normal. I laughed... until he told me he was serious. I'm one of the most normal people he's ever met. It makes me wonder how much my friends here really know about, how much I've let them in.
I suppose it's a good thing, that I do it so well, since I'll have to do it for the rest of my life.
But, I don't want to be normal.
