I guess that would be my passion for learning. Not too many kids my age enjoy learning as I do, and that disappoints me. Knowledge is power! (Hehe, really cheesy quote, but a great one nonetheless.)



Hmmm, while wanting to learn is very important it does not neccessarilly make you knowledgable. In gradeschool I never wanted to learn what my teachers would want to teach me, only because I knew what they were teaching and had no interest in listening. I always did very well on standardized tests and stuff, but I had terrible grades. I started wanting to learn prolly freshman year in HS because I liked my teachers and had classes to choose from, but Knowledge IS power :D .

Not at all "cheesy" Nego...learn from it. It is a truth known by those who go places in life. Not a good one to belittle. I'll defend that one to the end. (and yes...I did see the "great one none-the-less" part of your post....just wanted to make sure some of the youngsters amongst us saw that and understood it.

The only thing that seem to get the snow plows coming down my street is my shoveling the driveway, because then they can annoy me more...
maybe I should adopt a more religious approach

I didn't say it was "cheesy" or nething of the sort, that was a quote from Geekete. I will never belittle the power of an intellectual in any way whatsoever, actually my favorite quote is "The only good is Knowledge and the only evil is ignorance" (socrates). The point of my post was that the ability to want to learn does not necessarily determine a person's knowledge.

Ah ha! Look out Geekette, the line up is already forming! No surprise! Not putting myself in that line, for obvious reasons... it is nice to know you. Good luck with all your future plans. :-)

lol, :oops:

just trying to make the point that i wouldnt call Geekette un-attractive, and that no one is ever simply 'the quiet nerdy one', there's almost always a lot more to people than stereotyping would have you think, :wink:

Lol, thanks guys, I feel so special. :-p

any guy who's worth his salt can see through the whole stereotype thing,

after all, who's to say the "quiet nerdy girl" isnt actually the "quiet, sincere, affectionate, pleasent, friendly and.. (deliberate word replacement )... intelligent girl?


Heh, the problem is that I'm too shy or whatever to actually initiate a conversation with anyone. Thus, no one ever actually gets to know me. 'Tis a major character flaw of mine, I really do need to get over it.

he, i know the feeling exactly :oops: its still a bit of a flaw of mine too when i'm feeling a bit on the nervy side :?, but it does get a little easier later on,

i think the main thing to remember is it dosn't really matter what other people think of you, if you chat to someone you like and they enjoy the experience, then great, you'll both gain a lot from it and enjoy yourselves, or if the person seems to build a negative impression of you when you try and talk to them then they really wern't worth being nervous for anyway and you can just move on and forget them, ;)

You know Geekette some time ago I was just like you too, but I have been making some changes in my character lately, Im getting upgradted with every day experience. Just think that you are unique in this world.. that helped me a lot :) :wink:

And I have to agree with wookey, only but a fool would not dare to kiss a girl as beautiful as you. :wink: 8) :lol:
