The Revelation About Christopher

Posted on January 28th, 2007 by Christine.
Categories: Hilarious.

Let me start this by saying I’ve always been very attracted to Christopher. An all-around athlete in high school, he still looks it. Nice build, strong jaw, blue eyes, dark hair with a touch of gray, big hands with big, thick fingers… and we all know what that means… in short, the boy is hot.

It wasn’t until last night that I realized I’d been blinded by his good looks… prevented from seeing something that must’ve been there all along…

Last night, I realized, that Christopher is indeed… a geek.

Here’s what happened…

Christopher and I decided to go buy a new board game because basically, we’ve run out of things to do besides have sex. So we go to a game store in the mall and it turns out there are no interesting games there and the place is apparently going out of business. So Christopher has the idea that we’ll stop at this comic book store that sells games on the way home. He assures me that he goes to this place a lot and they have good games there.

So we go.

As we walk in, the three men over by the counter, in the midst of a passionate discussion about “how the armies are unbalanced,” stop and stare at me like they’ve never seen anyone of the female persuasion walk into the store before. After a moment of letting their shock subside, they go back to their discussion of comparing the wizards to the warlocks and the witches to the whatevers.

I walk over to the aisle where Christopher stands, reading the back of the box of some ancient Roman empire game. I must’ve had a smirk on my face because he gives me an admonishing look.

“Stop it,” he says. “I don’t like you making fun of my peeps.”

“I didn’t say anything,” I said with a little grin that I could seem to hide. “And these are hardly your peeps. It’s Saturday night, and these guys are hanging out in here talking about fantasy games instead of going out with their girlfriends and getting laid.”

“On nights you’re not here, I do the same thing,” he says.

I stop. “What?” I ask, not sure if I heard.

“I come in with my glasses on and my linux shirt…” I shove him hard, trying to get him to stop, to snap out of it.

“No you don’t…” I’m in complete denial, even though I love how he looks in his glasses– damn that boy can talk me into so much stuff when he’s wearing his glasses. “Honey… are you really a geek? Am I like that girl on Revenge of the Nerds?”

“Christine, come on… You’ve known for a long time I was.”

“Not true. I was duped. When I first met you, you talked about how you were on all those sports teams… basketball, wrestling, racquetball, volleyball, gymnastics, non-sanctioned boxing in your dorm room… I just thought you were a really smart jock. Not a really athletic geek.”

Christopher smiles and shakes his head. A new geek walks into the store (hopefully on his way back from the store where he purchased some Stridex) and walks over to a few other geeks and high fives them. I suppress a giggle. Christopher witnesses the whole thing and sets the game down.

“Let’s go.” He’s trying not to laugh too. “I’ll download Magic for you and we can play online.”

I try to protest, but suppressing the laughter is taking everything out of me. We get in the car and go to Blockbuster.

So that’s it. The moment I realized that the boy I love is a geek. Who would’ve ever thought…?

This is somehow worst then here sitting around with a bunch of writers at her writing group talking about books and scripts that they will start but never finish and if they do finish the main point of the group is to talk each other out of submitting anything to retarded.

As for the games, sure I like a game that requires a little mental excercise.. seriously shoots and ladders gets old… also she didn’t tell you the FIRST game I gave her was a strip poker card game…

As for the quality of ladies there.. she doesn’t know but a geeky girl can be sexy…

Yeah… Christopher is always pointing out geeky, acne-faced, stringy haired girls with no style and saying how sexy they are. (wtf?) And of course, those are the women that fill the pages of Playboy every month…

If that were so common, I don’t think I would’ve received the look I did from the geeks when I walked into the store… so I’m calling Christopher’s bluff on that.

But yes, he did try to talk me into a strip poker game first… which I knew would be a waste of money, because we only got through two games of strip chess before he decided he was done playing chess and more interested in playing with me. So I figured we could just skip the cards altogether. -)

I see he added a picture to his comment to prove his point. Let me point something out… putting horn-rimmed glasses on a centerfold model does not make her a geek. And neither does photoshopping a fake science lab behind her. With the kind of attention that girl gets, I’m sure she’s not spending her weekends at home, playing Dungeons and Dragons. She’s probably out with supa hot guys that take her to nice dinners and weekends in the Bahamas… and when they get there, they don’t bust out the Magic deck. Just my guess…

Nothing wrong with being a geek. Being a geek only means you’re passionate about something. The “cool people” only care about themselves.

Christopher the Pyro commented

I think that people should enjoy themselves however they want, if someone enjoys dinners they should do that. I’m sure there are all kinds in the world. Christine loves going out to nice dinners and for me it is one of the most painfully boring and lease enjoyable things in the world.. however I do it, and try and make the best of it because she enjoys it. I’m not always pleased about it but that really isn’t the point. Christine and I have a lot of differences like that, I won’t stand in line, wait in traffic or wait for food.. nothing makes me feel like I’m losing my life to waste more than these things… Christine on the other hand doesn’t mind in the least. However she totally feels the same when it comes to reading a instruction manual how on to play axis and allies….

Don’t let her kid you tho she is FAR from not being a nerd.. isn’t that right Sukuo master?

I don’t think that “cool people” only care about themselves, but at least they do care about themselves. I think it’s important to take care of yourself– your health, your weight, your hair, your skin. Not everyone will be beautiful or cool, but just like someone with B.O. needs to put a little effort into showering, someone with an intense amount of acne needs to take care of their skin.

And yes, there all kinds. But it’s still okay to laugh at yourself and not take it so seriously. -) Peace.

As a fellow Christopher and athletic geek, I have to side with Chris )

“Cool people” stereotype geeks into an unattractive category. Just as “cool people” are egotistical and pretentious.

You follow?

Some of us nerds and geeks are actually pretty fetching, we just aren’t noticed because we don’t have the traditional visual qualities. ;]

I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:

http://www.americanlegends.blogspot.com

If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.

Thanks,

I find it interesting how the guys on this blog go on and on about how a woman should put effort into looking sexy, be a nympho, be thin, wear sexy clothes, take care of herself, but when I suggest that a geek should put some effort into it as well, I get criticized. You’re defending them and saying I’m shallow, egotistical, etc., etc. Interesting double standard.

Look. I think people should be whatever they want– if they want to overindulge, be fat. If they want to wear goth make up, go for it. If they want to be a geek, hang out at a comic book store on Saturday nights and talk about Dungeons and Dragons. Good for you. But why is it if Christopher points out someone is fat, that’s just him pointing out reality. And if I point out someone is a geek, I’m being a big meanie? If you’re a geek and proud of it, good for you. Stay that way. Avoid washing your face and wake up every morning on a pus-covered pillow. I don’t care. But if you’re not proud of it, change it. But don’t expect the rest of the world to live in denial about you being a geek just because you want to.

The truth is, if you hang out with a bunch of surfers– and you’re not one– you’d probably think some of the stuff they do is funny and unique to them. It’s okay to find that humourous because you’re not a part of that group and you don’t do the same things they do. IT’S OKAY. Chill out. Really. Chill out.

By the way, Tim, thanks for being the only objective one here (you’re obviously not a geek).

But that is a womans role… (sexy, nympho, good cook, look nice…)

To follow up.. Fat is generally FACT, geek is a judgement call.

“You’re defending them and saying I’m shallow, egotistical, etc., etc. Interesting double standard.”

I -was- citing the double standard my dear… I guess you didn’t follow me… Of course, that is, unless your blog has been created under the premise of
instigating arguement for a popularity gimmick. Bravo then.

“Why is it if Christopher points out someone is fat, that’s just him pointing out reality. And if I point out someone is a geek, I’m being a big meanie?”

You’re not being a ‘meanie’, people just want to clarify that a geek just doesn’t suit to a common stereotype. Which is what you -really- aren’t understanding. Fat people aren’t ever fat people hiding in a skinny person’s body. Its a physical attribute. You’re correlating bad hygiene with comic book reading, which is correlation without causation. You’ve no other reason for doing that, than for the reason that that’s what you’ve been told.

“If you’re a geek and proud of it, good for you. Stay that way. Avoid washing your face and wake up every morning on a pus-covered pillow.”

Sweetheart, I’m a geek, and I’m proud of it… But have you seen my pictures? I have good complexion and I’m sexy and confident. I also have over 300 different comic titles in my collection to boot. Once again you adhere to stereotype, which is closedminded.

Just because you’re shallow-minded doesn’t mean for a moment I’ve made the mistake of thinking that you might be popular. See how that works? I’m not attatching you to a stereotype. =]

Take care, sweetheart.
