Yes, folks, I’m attempting it…. I will TRY to write Every! Single! Day! in the month of October. I know this blog has been woefully neglected. I have a newly mobile baby and have been busy with my faux-tography, so blogging has taken a backseat. I am joining a blog challenge to help keep me on track.
Today’s NaBloWriMo question is… Who am I?
Oy vey. Many of you good folks have been enduring the Ramblings on this blog for four years. I want to thank you for sticking with me so long. You must be insane, really like me, or both. You must be really insane to like me. I digress. I’ll attempt to sum up the essence of Emily with this lone word: Geek.
Yes, readers, I am a Geek.
geek
/gēk/
Noun
An unfashionable or socially inept person.
A person with an eccentric devotion to a particular interest: “a computer geek”.
I am applying the second definition to myself. You see, a Geek is a Geek by choice. I characterize myself with this word because I rarely do anything half-heartedly. I approach most of what I do with gusto. I find a hobby and get all up in it. I have been: a theater geek, a makeup geek, a banking geek, and lately a cloth diapering and and natural parenting geek. My most enduring firms of Geekdom will likely be photography, writing/literature, and theology.
So hi, my name is Emily. I’m a geek. Are you a geek?
I am most definitely a Geek! Pleased to meet you.
*raises her hand*
I’m a geek and proud of it! History is my geekdom of choice. But I’ve also been known to play D&D and video games and collect action figures. That counts too, right?
