happy geek pride day!

25th May is Geek Pride Day, hooray!

On this magical day you can be super proud to be a geek (that is if you're not proud of it all the time!). To celebrate I have compiled a wonderfully geeky treasury...

And look at this, it's the Geek Manifesto, created on the first Geek Pride Day:

Rights:

1. The right to be even geekier.
2. The right to not leave your house.
3. The right to not like football or any other sport.
4. The right to associate with other nerds.
5. The right to have few friends (or none at all).
6. The right to have as many geeky friends as you want.
7. The right to be out of style.
8. The right to be overweight and near-sighted.
9. The right to show off your geekiness.
10. The right to take over the world.

Responsibilities:

1. Be a geek, no matter what.
2. Try to be nerdier than anyone else.
3. If there is a discussion about something geeky, you must give your opinion.
4. To save and protect all geeky material.
5. Do everything you can to show off geeky stuff as a "museum of geekiness."
6. Don't be a generalized geek. You must specialize in something.
7. Attend every nerdy movie on opening night and buy every geeky book before anyone else.
8. Wait in line on every opening night. If you can go in costume or at least with a related T-shirt, all the better.
9. Don’t waste your time on anything not related to geekdom.
10. Try to take over the world!

As well as Geek Pride Day, today is also Towel Day and Glorious 25th May. I know, crazy, eh?

Go on, embrace the geekdom, and while you're at it, why not hug a geek?!
