The Complete Geek
Posted on 20 Jun 2008 under Journal/Life Updates
When I was much younger, I had a root canal in one of my teeth, and the dentist put some permanent cement over it. Well, it turns out that the cement wasn’t permanent after all, because a few days back, when I was chewing gum, some of it came back, hollowing out a portion of my tooth. Since my sister had to have her braces checked up, I decided to go with her and get a refill of white cement (or whatever it’s called). The dentist took one good look at my lower jaw and said right away that I need help, and “help” turned out to be a euphemism for “braces”. So yeah, I, 21 years of age, am going to get braces sometime within the next week or so. I don’t really mind because in the long run, it’s much healthier for me to get this done right now. I am expecting the treatment to last about an year. You know, this really completes my geek look:
- Glasses : check
- Thin, wiry frame : check
- Love of computers : check
- Single : check
- Still a virgin : check
and finally,
- Braces : check.
Now, the only thing I need to do is to use really long words, grow some (more) pimples and become pale white in colour. Yay.
PS:
After writing this article, I realized I’m using a stereotype. So, just to clear my stand on the whole concept of stereotypes and where I think they should be stuck, I’d like to say that though I don’t think stereotypes really do exist in such a large scale in society, they’ll still fun to use when writing. Meow, and have a nice day.

is nerd a fat geek?
@ash: No, not really.
A nerd is like a geek except that he’s a little more geekier and a little less funnier than a geek.
You’re going to have to check Urban Dictionary for it though

@tripti: Thanks for the support (?)
