I am such a geek

From Paperback Writer, by way of Holly Lisle:

You're The Dictionary! by Merriam-Webster You're one of those know-it-all types, with an amazing amount of knowledge at your command. People really enjoy spending time with you in very short spurts, but hanging out with you for a long time tends to bore them. When folks really need an authority to refer to, however, you're the one they seek. You're an exceptional speller and very well organized. Take the Book Quiz at the Blue Pyramid.

I'm not even going to tell you what that bloody quiz just said about me!

All I will say is: IT'S WRONG!!

P.S. what I should have said was: I'm sure it's right some of the time, but sadly is not right all of the time!

Great. I'm hanging out at a GEEK's Blog!

I'm The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

Deeply rooted in a religious background, you have since become both isolated and schizophrenic. You were naively sure that your actions would help people, but of course they were resistant to your message and ultimately disaster ensued. Since you can see so many sides of the same issue, you are both wise beyond your years and tied to worthless perspectives. If you were a type of waffle, it would be Belgian.

I started as Lolita, tried again, and ended up as Siddhartha. Ouch.

Congratulations on your NiP, by the way. I've spared myself that level of depression by cleverly not even coming close to finishing anything.

Hi folks. Busy day, otherwise I'd have been blogging. A true addict.

Debi, you really don't need to be ashamed of Goodnight, Moon.

Maureen, you're reading a GEEK'S BOOK! How geeky is that!? By the way, Belgian is my favorite waffle.

Liz, Lolita a la Siddhartha? That's what I call conflicted! Thanks for stopping by. Don't feel bad about not finishing. Up until age 40, the only thing I ever managed to finish was impregnating my wife.

That joke could have come off better.

You want geeky? I wound up as I, Robot.

Don't feel bad, Pat. When I took the test answering as my wife would, I ended up as I, Robot, too. (When she took it, she got Fahrenheit 451.)
