"STOP CALLING EACH OTHER STUPID. ALL OF YOU. THIS IS GIVING NERDFIGHTERIA A BAD NAME. Seriously, I don't believe the Bible either. The funny thing is, though, it's called "faith" for a reason. As of right now, you can neither…"

"I'm always surprised by how few people like Eccleston. I personally love Doctor Who, but I understand your distaste. The farting aliens did seem too silly. I think Eccleston was awesome. And I love Men in Tights too."

Fictional Clashes

Which is your favorite?The Doctor (any one you want) vs. Sherlock Holmes (book or movie) vs. James BondFor me, James Bond is immediately out of the running. He's just not a compelling character--one-dimensional and sexist, in my opinion. I far preferred the movie Sherlock Holmes to the book, because the book Holmes had no humanity. He was just a brain attached to a body. And he put everyone else down. But the movie Holmes was both brilliant and human. I can't really decide between the 9th and…See More

"I'd have to go with Captain Jack Sparrow I guess, because he really is awesome at everything while his system is processing more alcohol than can be found in all of Russia. They're both witty and good at fighting and flirting--but Sparrow…"

Arenal replied to Brian Weakly's discussion The Doctor's Language. in the group Doctor Who Nerdfighters
"It's been said already, but I agree. The Doctor is brilliant, old, and has spent a lot of time on Earth. I would guess he speaks most of the major Earth languages pretty fluently."

Arenal replied to Fake Crowley's discussion Crowley's rant on the Harry Potter sorting system (Meant for lulz.)
"I wanted to say I mostly agree with you, though for slightly different reasons. First of all, yes, the Sorting system is awful. There isn't a single major bad character who isn't from Slytherin or assumed to be from Slytherin (except maybe…"

Profile Information

What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?
an international one
About Me:
I love to laugh (mainly about really nerdy stuff, like chemistry and international politics) and I have terrible vision and a bit of a temper. I travel a lot (45 countries so far, but I want 50 before college) and I have a shirt that says "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate". I'm a super-nerd, and proud of it! I do hate having to wear glasses, though. I really like school. I know, weird, right? My laughter has been said to: sound evil/sound like a witch cackle/outrank a mad hyena/be scary/be weird/be excessively annoying, so it's probably my greatest weapon.
Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more
There are too many great books and movies out there to name, but a very few of my favorites are The Icemark Chronicles (series), Harry Potter (series), Sherlock Holmes (movie), The Curse of the Black Pearl (movie), Artemis Fowl (series), Outliers (book), and Freakonomics (book). My favorite music ranges from Les Miserables to traditional Celtic music to Green Day.
What's your favorite thing to put on your head?
Sometimes I'll absentmindedly twirl a pen in my hair and it will get stuck there. Does that count?
If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?
My friends Caitlin and Neal (because they're the ones who invented our happy dance) or Albert Einstein (because he's one of my heroes and just seems like a nice person).
When did you start watching the Vlogbrothers?
2010
Make up your own DFTBA initialism!
