• conversations with the hubby series…alpha geek

    from my LCE blog…

     

    I’m babbling about the web server to my husband. “I’m learning how to do an SSL Certificate today. My old one expired. It was a year old.”

    He flashed back that blank look; like when somebody goes geekspeak on ya and you don’t speak that strain. He nodded a little.

    “Hey, now! C’mon. I know I’m boring, but it’s your fault! I wasn’t a nerd before you met me.”

    He laughs. “You were always a nerd, Honey. Just not a computer nerd…”

    “No way! YOU, on the other hand, were quite a nerd whe I met you. I was just a regular girl.”

    “Noooooo way. You were a nerd!”

    He’s full of baloney, you know. I was afraid of computers before I met him…how could I have been a nerd?! Doesn’t add up, man.

    It’s not my fault I took to it. I became a nerd after many hours of listening to him wax philosophical on the beauty of binanry language and what having adequate RAM can do for your life.

    When I met the man, he wore plaid shirts that his MIL had bought him and had Velcro tennies. And he always crossed the velcro strips in an X.

    I was the nerd my $(%$…he’s got it in his blood. I just caught it from him because I was crazy enough in love to with him try to listen to all that geekizoid stuff…

    Okay - I’m late to this one! Julie - I wouldn’t call you geeky. You might have been nerdy, but definitely not geeky. I’m sure there’s a difference.

    And come to think of it, you can’t spell “I love Dixie” without an X, either. Awww… :smile:
