I enjoy being a geek!

[squeequeg]

Dedicated to all the wonderful geek girls I know:


I'm a geek, and for me that doesn't suck!
I am proud to have eight ranks in Knowledge: Strange,
Or to let my fangirl instincts run amuck
Making high-pitched noises out of hearing range!

I adore slogging through the Silmarillion
To find a continuity mistake,
Or deciphering old Carl Sagan's "billlyuns"
Or fragging someone's sorry ass in Quake!

After dissing Phantom Menace
For the seventh time this week
I give Firefly for penance,
I enjoy being a geek!

When my fanfic comes back beta'd
Without a single canon squeak
I dance 'round the room elated
I enjoy being a geek!

I flip over changing mutant powers,
I can run a Star Trek panel on my own,
I play Everquest or Warcraft at all hours
While reciting Monty Python on the phone!

I'm strictly a squeeing fangirl
And I love to stay up till three
Talking Westeros or some Discworld
With a guy being a geek liking a geek…like…me.

When the game gets too generic
And the party's looking weak,
I break out my half-orc cleric
And enjoy being a geek!

When Joss Whedon gets sadistic,
And the fans are up shit creek,
I stay sadly optimistic
But enjoy being a geek!

My puns are acclaimed as "mostly funny,"
I sing They Might Be Giants in my sleep,
I can bring the Hail Mary in Lunch Money
And come up with twenty uses for cloned sheep!

I'm strictly a raving fan dork
And I love to curl up with he
Who knows Timelords and Beyond Zork
And who loves being a geek loving a geek…like…me!

And in praise of your geekitude, I think you've come up with a R&H song I don't even know!
This is a beautiful, beautiful thing:-)

"I Enjoy Being a Girl" from Flower Drum Song. I had to sit through the first half of it in class (no, I don't remember what class or why) and urrrrgh. The stereotypes were already making me ill, and then this song...blerg.

I like to think I've redeemed it somewhat.

Very cute. The Institute approves.

This makes me almost ridiculously happy. And yes, you've improved the original a thousandfold. :)

Hey, if you need more impetus to procrastinate, how about a similar adaptation of "My Favorite Things"?

[ltlbird.livejournal.com]

Hee hee. Thanks for the giggles.

Have I ever told you about the parody of "Iowa Stubborn" a friend and I crafted in high school? It replaces the line "I really ought to give Iowa a try." with "I really ought to give suicide a try." It's sick and twisted, but I still think it's pretty damn funny.

I've never fragged anyone. *feels sad*

Now are you going to sing it at Arisia? *evil grin*

You should post your lyrics to "I'm the Obi-Wan"

[stealthmuffin.livejournal.com]

I'm mildly embarrassed by those. Besides, they were a joint effort.

[sal-sal.livejournal.com]

They were badass!

[sigerson.livejournal.com]

When she says "joint effort" she means the two of us collaborated and absolutely no chemicals of any kind were used. Or smoked.

Thank you! Sorry for the slow response; I rarely check old posts.
