It's your fault, you know. killerjoe October 27 2006, 14:41:11 UTC

Entries like these do nothing but fuel my gay-boi crush on you.

Re: It's your fault, you know. xinexine72 October 27 2006, 14:58:26 UTC

Because I'm a geek?

Well, yes.

Speaking of geekiness, a friend of mine wants to start up a book club. We're looking for a few smart women. Interested?

It'd be a once a month group.

Yes, please keep me posted on the book group.

We're semi-neighbors now, so maybe we should meet for that beverage/food that we mention every now and then.

I feel I should confess that I posted this word because I am experiencing this state myself, and I was just surprised/pleased to learn there is a word for it. Also that there is a possible medical reason for the feeling, other than just my own patheticness.

Some of us guys adore female geeks.
