Fanatic Fantastic

(I live with three friends, and all of us are kind of geeks. We’re chatting about a movie we’ve all seen at some point in time, when the following happens.)

Me: “Yeah, well, I was reading this fan-fiction, and the two characters were actually talking about this, and what’s weird is—”

Roommate #1: “What’s weird is that you just said ‘I was reading this fan-fiction’ and no one burst out laughing or even commented on it.”

Me: “Well, yes…”

Roommate #2: “Geeks rule!”

Me: “Yes. Yes, they do.”
