Geek Pride

Last night, my husband started a round table discussion regarding the week ahead.

The husband: What’s everybody got going on Monday?
The girl: Camp.
The boy: Allergy shot. Trombone lesson.
Me: Work.

The husband: Tuesday?
The girl: Camp.
The boy: Downtown (to hear his trombone teacher and a friend play)
Me: Work.
The husband: Teeth. (He has a four-hour dentist appointment to look forward to.)

The husband: Wednesday?
The girl: Camp!
The boy: The girlfriend comes home (she’s been in Australia for six weeks).
Me: Work!

The husband: Thursday?
The girl: Overnight at camp!
The boy:           (way too far in advance to know)
Me: Chicago!

And then the guys started giving me a hard time about going to a blogger conference, which they consider a large meeting of a bunch of geeks. They’re ones to talk!

I said to the boy, “You’re a band geek!” and to the husband, “You’re a computer geek!”

And they said, yes, but bloggers? They’re the geekiest of all.

I’m proud to be a geek among geeks.
