Do you remember the T.V. show Freaks and Geeks? It always sounded like a good show to me, since I would have been able to relate to being a freak and/or a geek in high school, but by the time it was on T.V. I had been out of high school for a long time.

My friend A.J. Cattapan just admitted to being a Star Wars geek on her Facebook page, and so I’ll credit her with the idea for this prompt!

Not only that, but I just discovered that today is Embrace Your Geekness Day! And so embrace it we shall! What are you “geeky” about?

Share your inner geek with us on The Spin Cycle this week!

This past weekend in the U.S., we celebrated Independence Day. You know, the day we declared that the colonies were independent from England. And then we started a war to prove it.

Independence can be a hard thing to earn. Toddlers try their best to become independent by using their favorite word, “NO!” My own girls want more independence and have ridden their bikes to the park without me a couple of times. I remember loving (and hating) that feeling of independence when I went off to college.

This week’s prompt for The Spin Cycle is Independence. Spin this prompt any way you want, and then come here any day this week to link it up!
