I think that
this is relevant in the current troll-gate sitch. Today many people of Twitter
are doing a #twittersilence because they are sick of the (quite genius) platform
being spoiled by childish farts who write the most unimaginative insults I have
ever seen. I totally understand why they are doing this, but I bet the amount
of trolling that has occurred today is a great load larger than it usually is.
I just hope the victims are enjoying a day off from meanosity anyway. For a bit
of le fun i’m just writing a list of things I have heard to describe my ace
self.
1.
Geek.
This
one really makes my eye twitch because it was used in a derogatory way when I
was younger, but now the cool kids walk around with t-shirts on that declare
them a ‘geek’. If I was wearing the tee about seven years ago I might have been
writing that I reclaimed the word and I am empowered (as I stroked my cat that
looked like Albert Einstein). But I never wore/wear such clothing. It is the
girls (I know I am labelling you, sorry) that seem to be attempting to look
groovey that don the capitalised ‘GEEK’.
The most memorable usage of this
word in regards to me was when one of my friends knocked on (god that makes me
feel old) for me in year 8. She asked if I wanted to stand on street corners/
in a field/ on a wall/ in a shed (not really) or something. I said no because I
was watching a film about Earthquakes. She was completely pleasant to me after
this and went off to explore different concrete surfaces. Then- the next day- I
got to school and people kept coming up to me laughing because I had chosen to
stay in and watch the Discovery channel instead of sit on hard surfaces. It
apparently made me a geek.
Author’s note: It wasn’t even the discovery
channel. It was this:
