bubbling enthusiasm for $arbitrary_topic
…relatively recently, that I would date no one but another geek. Weirdly, it seems I'm not alone. There's even a book, ffs.
Well, you know what they say. The geeks shall inherit the earth. (…the live, and the neutral.)

Matt is fascinated by the story of Argleton, the unreal town that appeared on GeoMaps but which doesn’t actually exist. When he and his friend and flatmate Charlie are standing at the exact longitude and latitude that defines Argleton, Matt sets in motion a chain of events that will take him places he didn’t know existed… and which perhaps don’t.

As she struggles to work out how to get home, she uncovers Faerie’s dark secret and finds that she is not the only human who needs saving.

… except I am, apparently, the wrong kind of geek for you, huh?
*sulks*
I guess I'll just go and play with my new phaser Dxi plug-in on my own, then.
That's a much more viable option for you geek grrls than we geek boys.
For every geek grrl, there are 3.2* geek boys. Which is good hunting for you lot.
But on the other side of the fence, any geek boy looking for a geek grrl would be contending with 2.2 other geek boys per grrl. Not happy odds for those of us packing a Y chromo.
(* a completely made us statistic)
And I should be disappointed about this why, exactly?
Well, because obviously, ummm …
Give me a moment.
No wait, I've got something, it's – bugger, I've left it in the car. I'll be right back.
. . . phew . . . back . . .
I'll .. park .. closer .. to .. the .. blog .. next .. time.
Anyway, I got nothin'
Unless the end comes and the geek do inherit the earth (and the live and the neutral). We'll be able to repopulate much more quickly if we have more geek grrls . . .
So basically I got nothin'
You know what they says. Go where you want to go and then find a parking spot.
So… my advice to you… get yer flickr account up. I wanna see if you've still got that red hair.
