My name is Harriet Manners, and I am a geek.
I know I’m a geek because I’ve just looked it up in the
Oxford English Dictionary. I drew a little tick next to all the
symptoms I recognise, and I appear to have them all. Which –
and I should be perfectly honest here – hasn’t come as an
enormous surprise. The fact that I have an Oxford English
Dictionary on my bedside table anyway should have been one
clue. That I keep a Natural History Museum pencil and ruler
next to it so that I can neatly underline interesting entries
should have been another.

Oh, and then there’s the word GEEK, drawn in red marker
pen on the outside pocket of my school satchel. That was done
yesterday.

I didn’t do it, obviously. If I did decide to deface my own
property, I’d choose a poignant line from a really good book,
or an interesting fact not many people know. And I definitely
wouldn’t do it in red. I’d do it in black, or blue, or perhaps
green. I’m not a big fan of the colour red, even if it is the
longest wavelength of light discernible by the human eye.

To be absolutely candid with you, I don’t actually know
who decided to write on my bag – although I have my
suspicions – but I can tell you that their writing is almost
illegible. They clearly weren’t listening during our English
lesson last week when we were told that handwriting is a very
important Expression of the Self. Which is quite lucky because
if I can just find a similar shade of pen, I might be able to slip
in the letter R in between G and E. I can pretend that it’s a
reference to my interest in ancient history and feta cheese.

I prefer Cheddar, but nobody has to know that.
Anyway, the point is: as my satchel, the anonymous vandal
and the Oxford English Dictionary appear to agree with each
other, I can only conclude that I am, in fact, a geek.
Did you know that in the old days the word ‘geek’ was
used to describe a carnival performer who bit the head off a
live chicken or snake or bat as part of their stage act?
Exactly. Only a geek would know a thing like that.

I think it’s what they call ironic.
Now that you know who I am, you’re going to want to know
where I am and what I’m doing, right? Character, action and
location: that’s what makes a story. I read it in a book called
What Makes a Story, written by a man who hasn’t got any
stories at the moment, but knows exactly how he’ll tell them
when he eventually does.

So.
It’s currently December, I’m in bed – tucked under about
fourteen covers – and I’m not doing anything at all apart from
getting warmer by the second. In fact, I don’t want to alarm
you or anything, but I think I might be really sick. My hands
are clammy, my stomach’s churning and I’m significantly
