Hello Word Press…Hello 2009! I decided that with the start of a new year that I should scrap my old blog that I rarely ever updated and start fresh. New year, new blog…fresh start.
You’re probably looking at my blog title and asking yourself what the hell is wrong with this girl and what the hell is a geek freak?
A ‘Geek Freak’ according to Urban Dictionary is someone who is attracted to geeks, or people of a higher intelligence which I am. Intelligence is something, above all else that I look for in a partner.
Today’s society focuses far too much on the physical and and far too little on the mental, which irks me to no end. Intelligence is such a turn on. I would much rather have someone who I can stay up with playing Scrabble than someone who looks sexy in a tux or next to nothing. Give me someone who can tell me the meaning behind words and traditions, who fell so in love with the ideas and philosophies of a culture that they felt compelled to travel there and experience it first hand.
So yes, I am a Geek Freak. And proud of it.
This blog will showcase my many passions and interests, nothing is off limits. This year will be a year of change, a year to start putting myself first and act on my desires and dreams. In the past I’ve put others before myself and look where its gotten me….I’m not done with college, I’m stuck in the same suburb I started in, and this will be the year I change that. Most people make resolutions for the New Year, and resolutions are easily broken. This year I am making commitments instead.
1. This will be a healthier year…no more junk food and back to the gym…there is a bikini in my future.
Reward: if I make this commitment I am taking myself on a vacation where I can strut my stuff in a bikini and soak up the sun
2. Make the most of my brain
Reward: if I can make school a REAL priority I will transfer to the school of my choice, wherever it may be…I’m old enough now to make my own choices about where I go to school
3. Travel
Reward: Travel is its own reward, I want to see the world and learn from different cultures and experiences. I’d like to make at least one trip this year, hopefully out of the country.
4. Find a literary agent so I can fufill my dream of getting published.
Reward: The chance of living my dream of being a real writer.
5. Love myself
Reward: I’m a firm believer in the belief that you must love yourself before you can truly love another. I think this is part of the reason most of my relationships fail. I need to feel comfortable with who I am as a person. I need to find people who love me for me and all my flaws and be able to speak my mind freely without fear of judgement.
I would say those are my big 5 commitments for this year. Ambitious I know. And I’m comfortable with the fact that I may not be able to finish these goals by the end of the year, but I hope to have at least made strides towards completion.
I’m never sure if anyone even reads these things, but if you do happen to stumble across this blog I hope that you’ll support these dreams and offer any words of advice that you see fit.
Cheers and Happy New Year
Geek Freak
