Techie -isms….

Psychologically today I’m trying to piece together one word for a personality that is mixed.  Highly educated if not over-educated, your career requires you to know IT related security, but yet, personally, you are an iPhone loving, Mac product loving, Internet Explorer using, comic book reading, still calls Firefox “Mozilla”, doesn’t know about Firefox add-ons or how to download MP3’s from YouTube, does not know how to pirate anything, yet still claiming to be a technical person type personality?? Ha ha.  I gotta love it all, but coming up with an “-ism” to call someone like this is hard.  It’s fricken hilarious 🙂 It’s not nerdism or dorkism or geekism.
True tech people do not use Macs or iPhones (personal opinion, lol).  They also know “how” to pirate, whether or not they choose too is up to them, but still know how. Techie’s burn anyone at the stake who remotely claims to use Internet Explorer.  Most of us tech people didn’t require a college education to know any of it either.  True geeks were born with this love, such as I.  True geeks have had hacked networks before even leaving high school, such as I.  I just happen to be female.
The huz for example.  He has a college degree. He’s a geologist. God only knows what compelled him to make that smart decision.  He’s from England though… so well, there are strange countries nearby, ha ha.  But, he’s a IT security consultant that now does nothing but stare at a screen for income.  How and why?  Because like me, you are just born to love playing with computer shit.  Of course we lost most in common since he really don’t care about stuff anymore and I tend to outsmart him on even basic things anymore… but the point is… I’m not sure how to label a college educated wannabe-techie?!  Like, you had to go to that thing called college to learn how to use MS Word. In my first year of trying out college I failed my first computer course.  But then again, I also graduated high school never being in a real English or literature class either, and my first published newspaper article at age 16. I don’t freakin have a clue what a pronoun or an adverb is.  I have no idea where I learned punctuation, I just place punctuation in a sentence just as I would pause if I’m speaking or stop.  Who knows. I amaze myself, but go figure.
Nothin’ but love for y’alls 🙂  I’m just laughing because it’s funny.  They are very clever and ingenious!
