Confessions of a Ficlet Megalomaniac

Hello, my name is THX , and I’m a Ficletholic. Whew, that feels good to say. Sure, I’ve heard it many times, you know, from my family, the few friends who know, and my coworkers. I’m here because I know I need help.

I mean, this is getting out of hand. I check for comments and notes at work…on the shared computer…when I should be reviewing lab results or inputting orders…with other people in the room…while whistling the marching tune from ‘The Bridge Over the River Kwai’. Yeah, I can’t really explain any of that, especially the last part.

As some of you may know, and this is really embarrassing, it’s all gone to my head so much I started a little organization and appointed myself the leader of it. Oh, it was all cute and stuff in the beginning, but now…well, I’ve slipped up and introduced myself to patients as the Grand Awesome Marshall. I’ve even put the title on my resume. I’ll take it back off…eventually.

Look, I know I need help. Right after I check for comments on my series. Okay?

That was so totally awesome! I was hoping I wouldn’t be the only one at the Meeting, plus your whole tirade about being the Grand Awesome Marshall was hysterical.
.
Bridge on the River Kwai? Why? and then the next sentence says you don’t know either.

Funny, I write it really quickly, but now that I think of it, the theme from The Bridge Over the River Kwai kind of fits, me being a leader of something absurd, a bit like Alec Guiness building a really good bridge for the enemy. Mmm, so accidentally deep.

Don’t feel too bad about putting Grand Awesome Marshall on your resume, I’ve put “Honorary Nerd” on some of mine before. (for scholarships)

At my high school, there was a club called “Nerds R Us” and I became an honorary member. I would’ve been a full member (even though it was an all male club, but they had to let me in because I got better test scores than the president) but I changed schools.

I tell people all the time I invented a holiday (cuz I really did), and when people ask what I do, instead of explaining it, I just say, “Oh, I’m a nerd, the web kind.”

It confuses them long enough for me to run away.

I love this whole Ficlets Anonymous idea and both Alexa’s and Thx’s writings on it are hilarious!
Hope you don’t mind…I tried a sequel with a little different spin on it.
