What is Geek? by Sarah of Sarah's Random Musings

Today's book blogger guest blogger (this sounds slightly repetitive but also technically correct to me) is Sarah of Sarah's Random Musings. Sarah not only writes wonderful reviews, but she is also a pretty amazing person. And here is the guest blog she wrote for Geek Fest...



Am I geek?


Geek is just a slang term, for someone that is "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, etc." according to Wikipedia. I am definitely Geek. I can’t just love something; it becomes an utter part of me, like with most tweens with cellphones.


I first found that I was different in 5th grade. My friends hated homework and while I would rather be reading. I still found homework rather awesome (I was a strange kid.). I would read ahead in my history and science books. I also did math for fun. When I was allowed to pick my classes, I took the hardest ones possible and while the homework was time consuming, I still had fun with it and did well. Even when I got sick in Tenth grade, I learned all the medical terms on the table and then some. My obsession went to books, in the following year. On the way, I found Doctor Who- a show in which a whole another guest blog is needed to describe how much I love it. I also discovered Youtube and Brother 2.0. Found awesomeness of being a Nerdfighter. Then, I started my book blog (Sarah’s Random Musings) in last September. I finished 365 books in one year and surprised myself on how much someone can read in one year. I am now doing a vlog project with some fellow bloggers, and I am overly excited. It actually starts this week.
Being a Geek isn’t a bad thing. Or even being a nerd, dork, or insert any label. When the label is gone, you are still amazing. So, embrace your inner geekiness and admit it. The worst thing that could happen is having more interests. I AM A GEEK AND I AM PROUD OF IT!


Thank you, NSCG for letting me do a guest blog for Geek Fest. It was a lot fun.


Take Care, Sarah.
