This week’s League topic: Geek Confessions

true confessions

This week’s League topic is sure to bring about a lot of gasps and shaking of heads, but I think it’s healthy to clear the air every now and then.

This week’s league topic:

—-

What is something you absolutely hate or love or just don’t get, or maybe it’s something you have never even seen or read. What is your deepest, darkest geek confession? 

—-

league of extraordinary bloggers logo Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

 

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for joining The League.)

        Thanks!… and BTW thanks for doing this, it really helps newcomers like me to get some traffic and connect with some outstanding Bloggers ! …and the topics stretch the writing skill in a different (and creative) direction 🙂

          Thanks for saying that Michael! I know the whole League concept has worked out well for me, and I’m glad to hear that others are seeing results as well.

      It’s so great to have the Pizza on board! You’re the only one I know who can mingle Mario and Papa Hemingway in a single coherent piece. 😉

      hooboy! You certainly laid yourself out there Chris! 😉 Don’t worry though, I think my confession will drop just as many jaws. (You and I can still be friends. We can sit at the table off to the side in the cafeteria together– “cafeteria Siberia.”)

      No apologies needed, Ashley. Think of this as the confessional booth in church–we’re not here to judge as you spill. (Yeah, right!)

      Best thing I’ve read in a long time (I won’t spoil the topic here): “I once stumbled onto an old episode as a kid … and I immediately felt like I had just been inappropriately touched by a clown that smelled like cigars.” LOL!

      Reis, I side with you 100% on all the points you presented, and I’m beginning to think you are my long lost brother.

    This is a fun topic! I might have to post another “normal” blog on this one (The League is really ruining my reputation as a weirdo blogger!) Anyway I’ll try to get started on this one tonight. I’m loving everyone’s posts on it so far by the way!
