Yes, today is the Geek Pride Day . We'll see how long it takes to take advantage of our friend El Corte Inglés (and I imagine the TV ads in plan "Live on Geek, fashion lives Chewbacca" ). For if we had enough with the day of the mother, father, working women, gay pride, of all the saints and the dog that barks at them, the freak world also wants a day to celebrate their existence and show their oddities the rest of the planet and has therefore chosen the May 25, date on which premiered Episode IV saga of Star Wars . Many still wonder: what the hell is a Geek ?. Well that is today's post, history and development of the freak, and how, someday, from a galaxy far, far away, we will conquer the world.
But let's start at the beginning (long live the Wikipedia !) originally freaks word was used to refer to people who distinguished themselves to have some physical deformity or abnormality (bearded women, men or people of stature elephant abnormally high or low), and were displayed in circuses . This is why the word freak English also retains this meaning. Then the term used to refer , although in another context, quirky characters in a sense they become known to it through television programs . Over the years, word used to refer also to the people who had an obsession with extreme particular issue, in which specialists were usually . Because the media, the term freak became known in other languages, and over the years, the word evolved freak geek , frik or freaks in the language English and so we come to today as the term geek is used to refer to the person concerned or obsessed with a topic, hobby, or hobby in particular .
Anyway, I have always been self-described geek with jest, because after all my love affair with RPGs
is fairly new (a couple of years now) and was a result of that I got hooked on fantasy literature and film type LOTR, The Matrix or Star Wars (and I finished the contest for a duel with Anakin Skywalker a nice sea at the entrance Kinepolis, lightsaber in hand, at the premiere of Star Wars 3, although I'm not posting those pictures, that will freak but still has shame). However, reading the list hobbies considered geeks, I ended up worrying: I gather seventeen twelve. Come on, I just
discover that not only am I geek, no joke, but also grazed the gafapastería . Diox me why I
?. Passed a childhood, adolescence and adulthood part of independent and unclassifiable bragging and one day go and have breakfast with the geek requirements for the club. And to be gafapasta, too. What do I do with my life? Am I catch a suicide or metal frame?. Okay, no need to contestéis.
Anyway, the thing has its substance, being geek is not so easy. It turns out that there are different classes. I have a colleague otaku, for instance, who spends the day eating ramen with chopsticks and watching an episode after another Naruto . Time ago I spoke in Japanese. Actually, I have worried. From here my mind and my support to return soon with us to the world of the living.
Then there are the geeks , although often share interests with geeks
pull towards the side of technology. If the line between geek and nerdy is diffuse and often more complicated is to distinguish them nerds, who would become something like the nerds of the Institute of American teen movies, clubs belonging to mathematics or quantum physics and the whole Christ is fun (unless you are Bill Gates call, then you laugh or Diox) .
Come on, that this is a freak of trouble. Because over the Geek Pride Day celebration coincides with another, even more nerdy than the aforementioned, the Towel Day , you should not have many followers because I've come across a single type / aa throughout the day, wearing any. What for someone who wants to spend a day enterito carrying a towel? Well, to honor Douglas Adams , author of the "Hitchhiker's Guide" .
Anyway, my roommate (since the next post will form part of the team so far only me, composed of Hache Hour as official photographer) congratulated me on the day. And I to him, incidentally. So let's celebrate a dining lembas , seeing some extras from Star Wars and smoking weed hobbit, who as well says Quim Gil, "more geek be you, dammit. We all have special tastes, minority perversions and dark corners. The passions, passions are. And the minority are as valid as mainstream. Is it rarest vinyl collecting, role play or wear a shirt of Star Wars
paint your face like an Indian and go to cheer at a football illiterate eleven millionaires for nothing? That. Let the party begin. "
PD will soon be resetting the game-beta-de The Last Feather Cuervo (to see if the ends Xaruk Hierarch exams soon) and start a new Official Tournament. If anyone is interested in tasting the excellent online role or are just curious and fancy taking your first steps on the scene, in Mul- Sabbut we welcome you with open arms.
OS THE FORCE BE WITH XDD
