Achievement Unlocked : Full Geekdom

Nearly 22 years of age and I have just realised my full entrance into Geekdom. In high school I was unpopular, smart, took all the hard classes and was in the JROTC. What more can I say? That draws a pretty good picture if where I was in the social food chain early on in life. I never would have considered myself a 'geek' just a bit too smart for my own good. (Yeah, I hated high school, stupid popular kids).


However, I have arrived at a whole NEW level of Geekdom... Gaming. Xbox gaming... Oh no!!

Richard, oh husband dearest, bugged me for ages to pick up the Xbox controller for more than just netflixing. I refused. Resisted. Revolted. And then... Resigned. Fine. I'll TRY your stupid game, with your stupid dragons, and your stupid quests. Stupid...stupid...stupid...

Oh how wrong I was.

I entered the world of Skyrim about 2 months ago... Now, I dream in the world of Skyrim. (You think I'm joking? I'm not. That's the sad part). It took me a bit to catch on but I was pretty hooked from the moment my head was on the chopping block and Alduin came swooping down upon me to try and eat my face off... I built my character quickly, and caught up to Richard's level in no time. However, I still didn't consider myself 'geek' quite yet...

I began to notice the change, the building towards achievement Geekdom, around about the time my husband SAVED over my game! I had just improved all my armour! And found an amazing weapon! And was in the middle of a quest! Honestly? Do you hear my right now? Big giant orange neon signs pointing straight at me with GEEK flashing across them in a pattern crazy enough to begin an epileptic fit in just about anyone... I was devastated when Richard told me his "mistake"! He was devastated! At least we share our Geekdom. Always a good thing in a marriage...
Even through all of that I wouldn't have described myself a Skyrim geek... yet... I said "I", not necessarily "YOU"...

Today was the pivotal point of my becoming a full blown Xbox gaming... Nerd... (What a gross word!) I began my game playing this morning. I had been working the last few days to get my character back to where I was before. Don't worry, I'd had a previous extra save a few weeks ago so my character wasn't completely erased. Just mostly. Anyways, I had finally gotten my girl back to where I was in the game. I thought to myself, "lets up the level of hardness today to Adept." After all, when I die I can just lower it again... Adept is what Richard plays on. The man who has been gaming for most of his LIFE... Anyways, I was the bomb diggity at playing on adept! As in. Too good. Geek good. Oh. No. Then... I levelled up my enchanting to 100... And was excited. Too Excited. And it hit me. Achieving Unlocked : Full Geekdom ...
