First post!

I was supposed to create this blog about a month ago. Oops. You could call it procrastination at its finest (or its worst, whichever you prefer). Originally, it was supposed to be a wonderfully fantastic blog about grilling all things vegetarian. When I realized I wanted to extend this blog past summer, my dream died a painful death as bad images of trying to grill in 2 feet of snow emerged. In its place, an idea for a geeky blog about my experience with science (forensics, genetics, chemistry, you name it), math (differentiation anyone?), AP's, Batman, and virtually any other topic that sparks my interest was born. The name is courtesy of the least geeky person I know: my sister. Can you believe that geekisms, cheeky geek, geek speak, scientifically speaking, speak of the geek, and gleefully geeky were all already taken as blog/website names?

Anyway, there are a few things you should know about me, assuming that someone stumbles upon this. I am currently going into my senior year of high school, and consequently I spend a lot of my time researching colleges and their respective chemistry/biochemistry/biomedical engineering programs. And graduate programs. College Prowler anyone? During the actual school year, I live and breath mock trial, which also means that I unfortunately have to wear a suit about 3-4 times a year. I'm slightly obsessed with forensic science, geeky calculus love songs (if you haven't already seen it, "The limit as x approaches girlfriend" is a must-watch video for math nerds), chemical equations, and all things English and writing. I'm hoping to keep this a daily blog, but I might fail horribly once classes and college applications and extra-curriculars are all in full-swing. I think an appropriate ending for a blog post belonging to a geeky blog is MTFBWY (May the force be with you). Or, I could just be channeling my inner Obi Wan/Yoda/Mace Windu. Either way, have a great day/week/rest of the summer, whether you're reading, getting ready to go to/apply to college, or simply awaiting the new season of Doctor Who in agonizing suspense.
