Anyway, isn’t it weird what we see kids do these days, many adults think it’s all of us kids who do that dorky stuff. But they are all wrong! It’s the *geeks* that do all that stuff.

Now before you get any ideas I could only make these lists of what *geeks* do because there are tons of *geeks* at my school and not because I am one! So here’s a list of what crazy things *geeks* do in their spare time (if you can call it that!):

• War Games. Gosh those games annoy me! All you hear is *geeks* shouting “Die Die Die!” and guns shooting. Should they actually be doing that?!
• Making algebra puzzles for their geeky friends to do later. How boring! I asked some *geek* once (at school this is) why they were doing algebra when a. we hadn’t learned it yet and b. we didn’t have too! And guess what he said, “Because it’s fun!”. And I was like what the heck!
• Fixing things that don’t need to be fixed. *Geeks* often find fixing things intriguing because they can find out how things work. There is nothing wrong with that of course, but when you do it every day of the week every week for things that don’t need to be fixed, it’s a bit stupid really!
• Warhammer. A classic hobby for *geeks*, painting tiny figures and playing with them, what could be more fun! There’s nothing wrong with painting stuff and playing with them, but with most things that *geeks* do, it turns into an obsession.

 So if you think you or your friend might be turning into a *geek* because these are the sorts of things you do in your spare time, take a look at these classic signs of a *geek* to see if you or your friend officially is a *geek*. Not that there is anything wrong with that, (cough cough!).

Classic signs of a *geek*

• Spends hours on Learning games

• Wears glasses because they spend so much time staring at the computer screen or homework/coursework/work
• Does extra homework/coursework/work
• Can’t stop reading
• Is always reluctant to do any kind of physical activities
• When asked for a definition of a simple word, comes up with an answer even more complex than a dictionary
• Usually can’t face being wrong
• Always rushes to a class, job interview e.t.c even if they are early
• Is absolutely fascinated by anything (even the boring stuff like dust!)
• Cries if they do something wrong or gets told off

So why is it that people become *geeks*? Well experts say there could be something called the “geek gene”, but I’m like yer as if! So what is it really? Well mainly it’s the upbringing, how a parent acts often affects how a child acts. So say if a mother loves to read, it’s most likely for the daughter to love reading. Or if a father loves to play rugby, then it’s most likely for the son to love it too!  So what I’m trying to say is if you’re a *geek* don’t worry, it’s not your fault, it’s you’re parents fault or their parents fault or whatever! But it’s not yours! 

Or it could be something to do with the person is good at maths or science or whatever and they love it when they always come top. So it kind of turns into an obsession where the person has to be the best and will do anything to be it! Then all they do all day is sitting at the computer doing geeky stuff that *geeks* do.

So what I want to know is what do you think about being a *geek*? Do you think it’s good that people spend so much time doing work and staring infront of a screen and always get top marks in everything?

Or maybe your view is that it’s good that people always have an interest in anything and that they always have a positive attitude. Maybe there is nothing wrong with  being a *geek*, that its good because they are very smart people and always want to learn and keep getting better at things.

Or do you think that people should enjoy their life by just relaxing every now and again? But I suppose *geeks* think that studying is fun? There are many sides to this, debate shall we call it? But I want to hear yours! I won’t bother going through all the possible sides, because I’m sure you could think of much better ones!

Thanx for bothering to read this Lol. Please comment with your views J.

Till next time…

Toodles!
