Since i was a little girl i have watched and grown up with star trek, my little brother and i learnt all the words to the beginning sequence, my best friend was even named after one of the characters, in other words i was a massive nerd. In my high school years I was defiantly an outcast, but at the age of 14 i discovered Harajuku fashion and anime, these were my new loves, i spent hours looking at fashion shows and reading blogs about Harajuku. My Friends were not as enthusiastic about Harajuku as i was, but they loved anime so i got to go to conventions with them.

 

A few years past and I was going to cons on my own, I had lost all my teenage awkwardness. It had been replaced with geeky, bitch I'm so fabulousness. I met amazing and interesting people, and soon i was part of the Lolita community. I was so happy for them to even consider me apart of their group, but i had no idea what they were talking about. No amount of reading had prepared me for this. They spoke…

I have no idea what to write about. I know that I don't have to, but I feel like I need to contribute with something... I don't even know if anyone'll read this.



I like the concept of Nerdfighters. I like that nerds unite and stand together against all the hurtful words and actions. It's about time we step up and do something. The time of the nerds is coming and the world won't be prepared. I like that thought. No more bullying, no more being pushed around or ignored.

As Will Herondale (or maybe it was Cassandra Clare since she wrote the book... but I'm too far gone in books I read to differentiate between fictional and nonfictional people, so...) so eloquently put: "Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read." I truly believe that. And I'm not going to let anyone stop me or keep me from being my true self just so they can feel better about themselves.

Greetings I have taken the position of a Blog Moderator, and while a lot has happened so far this week to piqued my interest, one issue caught my attention right away and I felt it was a good theme to start out with.

Some say yes, an unequivocal yes. I'm hesitant to agree, simply…
