squeequeg | I enjoy being a geek!

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!
