Geek Moments

Friend: I need to go home to check my Facebook

Me: Oh I need to go home and check the Parent Portal for my grades

I thought I saw Kurt's Dad from Glee walking around my college campus.
The psychotic internal hyperventilating that ensued was a nice break from Chemistry.

One day, I was walking around campus with my friend,(while reading a book) when I asked her how to pronounce a word. She told me how to, and then she and I started to debate just how terrible the English language is, and how we both wished (I especially) that someone would redo it into something that: 1. makes sense; 2. has rules that don't have exceptions; and 3. Has words that sound how they spell. (Hahaha)

When i cover my ears when people tell me about a book I want to read...

My doctor and I had a big discussion about genetics and the difference of genotypes and phenotypes. She said after a couple of minutes, "It's fun to talk with a biologist!" XD

Me (today): "It's report card day? Oh man, I didn't get to turn in all of those extra assignments! My grades are ruined!"

Teacher: Congratulations, Emma, you received the highest grades in your class, with and average of 96.54%!

Me: This cannot be happening. This is terrible!

Katie(girl with second highest marks, 94.27% average): But you did amazing? What's wrong?

Me: I failed...

Katie and rest of class: No...you didn't...

Me: Yeah I did... my goal was to have a 98% average. Rounded, my average is only 97%....It's not good enough!

Justin(hottest guy alive Mild-mannered student, with average appearance...): But you did great!

Me (blushing ): I guess I did.... Thanks Justin.

Justin: It's cool.

Above me is an amusing situation

Most recent?

I had to phone my brother (who's at university) in fits of hysterical excitement because I had just experienced an utter enlightenment at school that day. And I literally called it the highlight, probably of the whole month?

We had just been told . . . that you CAN ACTUALLY take the square root of a negative number!!! USING IMAGINARY NUMBERS!!!!! OMFG! For years we'd been unable to solve some quadratic equations as "you can't square root a negative." YES YOU CAN!!! ALL QUADRATICS ARE SOLVABLE!!!

The root of -4 is 2i. Genius.

When you scream WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEING A GEEK at your friend

When you say "This laptop looks so good, I could kiss it!"

Niece: "Are you doing homework?"
Me: "No..."
Niece: "Are you writing in your diary?"
Me: "No..."
Niece: "Well, what are you writing??"
Me: "A book! Alright, I said it!"
Niece: *blank stare* "Ohhhhh....kay....." *backs away slowly*

When I describe the computer I built as a sexy machine to people who bother to look at the 4 foot tall monstrosity.

When I was swapping theories with the therapist I was forced to see for a short time.

Hm, maybe those are more nerd moments.

My geek moment was trying to explain to my mom that when you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter, you get pumpkin π (pi).

When you tend to get crazy, super excited in the stationery section in the super market!

OMG - STAR SHAPED POST IT NOTES & PURPLE PAPER CLIPS! <3 <3 <3 *swoon*
