Journal Lynduh's Journal: apparently I am a geek.... 3
Well, apparently I am a geek. I wasn't always a geek you see it is just something that happened over time.

ICON.. I will not go. You will never find me there - on this I will not give in.
I am a closet geek..
And that's okay!

Somehow I think it must be more along the lines of a roaring, raging grizzly bear -- he just got tired of all the chicks fawning all over him years ago, so he plays it down.
And what really happened that time that you, like, ran OVER his car?
In any case, you have adorable kids, and from this perspective, he's a wonderful husband. I married one, too, BTW.
