I Love Geeky Boys

I looked over my AIM buddy list just now and realized that more than 2/3 of the people on my list are geeky boys. This led me to one inescapable conclusion: I really love geeky boys.

It comes as no shock. In 4th grade, my big crush was Micah Brodsky. He wrote his own OS that year and I couldn’t resist calling him “Micah-soft.” He found it very annoying, which made me think he was even cuter.

Then there was Harry Kim. That’s right, the ensign from Star Trek: Voyager who was always getting himself killed and somehow resurrected. A bigger geek you could not find in all the Delta Quadrant. I wanted to jump his bones.

And just look at the guy I’m marrying. Andy is a geek among geeks. Not only does he know how to do computer/math/science stuff, but he makes his living teaching teenagers all about it. He has a geek laugh, wears glasses, loves Star Trek almost as much as I do and has has conversations with his friends in computer code. He may be good at sports, but there’s no rule in the geek code that says you can’t be, just as long as you memorize statistics from every sport you follow, which he does.

I’m not alone in my love for geeks. Maryam Scoble knows what I’m talking about.

So I’m here, I’m out, I’m proud. I love geeky boys. Geek lovers of the world, raise your hands!
