What a dorky thing to have for my first post on here (I'm a total troll, sorry... ^_^ ), but I finally got the CD's I order forever ago in the mail today, and I'm SO HAPPY about it! I stopped like, 5 people in my apartment complex walking back from the mailboxes and handed out CDs. =)

Yeah, I'm a geek... I was *real* popular in high school. ;-)

LOL, actually, I was *fairly* "cool" in high school... A sort of, er, social butterfly, if you will... But, I've always been a computer nerd... Hell, I wrote my first prog (albeit in Apple Basic) when I was 8 years old. I've been raised around 'em since I was a weee lad. =)

Don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

I have a reference of true geekdom for you all here:
I was at a computer conference once, and the guys I was with whipped out pictures of their computers that they had in their WALLETS. Yes, it was like watching a bunch of new mothers show off baby pictures...

It was so stinking cute and geeky at the same time. I think I tripped over the duct-taped cord strip on the floor I was laughing so hard.

"OOOOH BABY... Did you see the specs on that?!"
"I wouldn't mind installing that CPU! Wink wink nudge nudge!"

I don't know whether to laugh at the silliness of that thought...

Or cast a downward, sheepish glance cuz I've had thoughts not too dissimilar...

Vielen Danks for the welcome, although I think it should have come... oh... Oh yeah, most likely back in 7th grade when, for the final project in a computer programming (again, this being with Apple Basic) class, which was supposed to consist of a 200 line program, I turned in a 4500 line text-based (think Zork) RPG.

Yeah, they made me copies of the geekville keys a while ago. ;-)

LOL! They made me keys to geekville in fourth grade when I changed the apple basic math test program to give me anywhere between 97-100% on my math tests just for typing in my name. heh.

Nice to know other geeks were as bad as I was. ;)

Yeah, never played sports, and I had a '93 Dodge Shadow. Not big on the sports and cars so much. And BAND oh man band was LIFE back then. What instrument did you play, jdodson? I played trumpet (and I've heard all the trumpet player jokes, not to mention the other instruments, so if you make one, prepare for retaliation ;)). So I was the band geek. The only people I ever dated in high school were other band geeks, and I'm marrying one of them in June. She played baritone. I never REALLY got into computers in high school, since I got my first PC at the beginning of my senior year, 1998 (I got that year wrong when we were talking last night, kassetra), though I did always go in early to play nibbles and gorillas on the pcs before school started.
