Geek

Today I realised what a total language geek I am, and I don't like it! I had a german, we were going through basic grammar definitions, like what a noun, verb, sentence etc is. But cos I've done all that in linguistics I was making it really complicated and adding stuff that wasn't really necessary so everyone in the the class must've thought I was a right geek, oh dear! And I got really annoyed with the definition of a sentence that was on the sheet, "group of words which make perfect sense". Technically that's not true, it's just a group of words which are grammatically correct, it doesn't have to make sense. So for example "Green colourless ideas sleep furiously" is a perfectly well formed grammatical sentence even thought it makes no sense whatsoever! I then realised this wasn't really relevant to the german class and I should stop being a geek! I was also really happy that we got homework, we have to write 10 lines about our family, yay!! (In german obviously...) So yeah everyone will now wonder why they bother being friends with such a sad person...
