I told someone the other day I was a geek. Their response? "Man, you're hard on yourself." My response? "You obviously weren't ever a geek. Believe me, us geeks? Wear the label as a badge of honor." Seriously, I love being a geek. It's who I am. I don't for a moment think that I'm being hard on myself by reveling in that label. Labels are meant to hurt sometimes. It's only when the labeled take the word away and make it into something else that the power of the word is diminished.
Plus geeks are damn hot.

I slept at lunch. Ate food, curled up on the couch in the office kitchen with the paper and promptly slept for 45 minutes. Woke up once thinking the dogs outside my apartment were fighting, only to find out is was the office dishwasher. Woke up for the last time to conversations of breast lifts.

Lois v. Lana
I was thinking this morning about the fact that some Lana things are also considered Lois things. Traits of the shows they've appeared on that are held as similar. All of the stalking, and the weirdness, and the getting kidnapped that happens to Lana? That could be argued as being very common with Lois too. And it is.
There's only one difference. There's no explanation as to *why* these things happen to Lana (other than the mysterious ability she has to attract loons). For Lois, she was putting herself in the way of these things. At least she was out there living and pursuing something. Lana lets things happen to her, so it's especially bizarre when things happen to her of such a bizarre magnitude. Lois pursues things and ends up with the end result of needing to be saved by Superman, but at least she was actively living life.
Just a thought I had.
