If you are reading this and are not one of the listed in the title of this piece then I feel that it is my duty to inform you that your life sucks. I am a loser, a geek and a nerd in that order. Now the defintition for these in my mind is probably different than yours, but eh. I am a loser because the gentleman I fancy is my best friend. You ever seen one of those dramatic movies like 'Just Friends'? Ya something to that extent. I am a geek because I am obssessive over history and archeology. I am a history geek. I am a nerd because I am the student who's life would end if I ever got a B-. No joke. The amazing thing is- my life rocks. Because I am in balance with these three things I am in perfect health and spirits. I has such a great day today can you tell? And in reference to the category of this blog- it is your personal freedom (haha) to be happy. It's not about your attitude or how you look or who your friends are (yes I have friends). To be happy you need:
1. To love yourseld no matter what. You need to be able to laugh at yourself and not think about what others think. I am a loser- it's true- and I love it. I love being able to be a little crazy sometimes and laugh at myself for it.
2. Find something to obsess over. You can be a Football geek, or a swim geek, or a crochetting geek-what ever! Just find something you love to do and don't ever drop it. And every once in a while find something new. Noone has tried everything and everyone needs to try more things.
3. Be a nerd and someday you'll be someone's boss. When you've been a nerd all your life you can breeze through employments and taxes and other stuff that sucks. Paying attention in classes or trainings will pay off that much more come time to use the skills.
Of course I'm not saying I'm perfect. I still ahve so many lessons to learn. I just felt inspired because I look around school and work and see so many people without ambition and without drive. I love the chase and a challenge and that's what makes my life so enjoyable. Sometimes I get stressed out and sometimes endds don't quite meet up but because I always have something to look forward to I can be happy. I am a geek, I am a nerd, and I am a loser- but only by my own defintion.
Franz Ferdinand
I read this blog because I saw your user name was Franz Ferdinand (I love the band.)
But yeah, being a geek, nerd and a loser is not a bad thing. While I hate labels, I will proudly declare that I am a nerd, and that I "geek out" over many, many things, like Harry Potter, Twilight, Al Gore and Franz Ferdinand. I feel like people who see themselves as these things think it's a BAD thing. Not true.

loving twilight does not make you a geek. it makes you awesome!
Haha...very true.
I'm guessing from your user name that you fence?
I'm geeking out at the thought. Fencing rocks!

i think it is great that you take the common labels that people are called and add your own twist and show that you defy what people say and that you are happy with who you are!
it is great and inspirational!
i must admit... i do identify with you very much!
