I am a geek because...

[SolderQueen]

At The University of Evansville, there was a tournament in which all of the clubs in the college competed in an It's Academic! fashion. We had buzzers and everything.
I was a part of the four person Archaeology team.
We made it to the final round...and it was Arch. Team vs. 4 of the Faculty
Guess who won?

Our winning Question was
"What is the method of copying songs from a CD? It begins with an R."
I answered, "Rrrrrrrrip!"
wheeeeeeee for being a geek

I actually enjoyed diagramming sentences in the eighth grade.

I wrote my last novel in seven months in spite of four small children climbing all over me.

Before I lost my ability to compose, I could tell you what the lowest note was on the second inversion of a chord with the root being the dominant of any given major, minor, or modal musical scale.

The only team sport I do not quickly lose interest in is FIRST robotics competitions.

[brainonska]

im a geek because i once wrote an essay for school in perl script...

...and it actually parsed.

[Pyro]

I'm on Cheif Delphi at 10:30 instead of sleeping,

I spend more time at robotics than school, sports, dates, and sleeping.

My music was enjoyed by all the adults on the team, wereas half of the team didn't recongnise it.

I spend my time trying to think of more ways i am a geek.

Well thats it for now, but there's no telling with what i can come up with.

Oh i also have a calender counting down the days till halo 3 comes out.

[GUI]

I carry robot parts into Arby's so I can discuss the design with one of the mentors while we eat.

My dad is a mentor but I still have to discuss the design with him over lunch. (and have the part with me)

I space out in class, waiting till I get home to download Inventor 11.
