allyndra Wow, I'm a geek! I knew this, of course. I even had a "Some of us have geekiness thrust upon us" speech I used to use as an introduction speech for my Principles of Human Communication classes. So why am I feeling overwhelmingly geeky today? Dropping $60 at the comic book store might have something to do with it. Saying things like, "No, we can't do that on Friday or we'll miss Doctor Who" could be part of it.
But the real reason? My son was reading Superfudge, and he didn't know what "Toot, Toot, Tootsie" sounded like (the grandmother sings it to the baby, who is called Tootsie). I was able to play the song for him because I had it on CD. Because I'm a fan of the song? No. Because I have such a diverse selection of popular music from all eras? No. Because it was on Brent Spiner's CD, "Old Yellow Eyes is Back," purchased entirely because I love him as Data.
That's why I'm a geek.
