La purpura tortuga fue a la biblioteka -- The purple turtle went to the library. Although, in sign language, I can say Magical sea turtle cookies are in my basement in Yugoslavia, but that translates less well to text. :) Favorite canceled TV show?

Kassidy I. commented on Cassie G's blog post 'Book the Sixty-Fifth: The Book Thief'

Whenever my friends ask me to recommend a really good book, The Book Thief is the first novel that comes out of my mouth. I've just been so moved by this story and have become completely hooked by Zusak's unique writing style that I cannot help but…

What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?

Witty Banter Nerdfighter (Plus a little bit of everything else!)

About Me:

In reality, I am a "Name Something Nerdy and it Probably Applies" Nerdfighter.

I'm a junior theatre major at BGSU in Ohio, USA. I want to eventually get certified to teach theatre to kids in schools, probably in Minneapolis or Seattle (I know - interchangeable, right?) . I also write, a lot, and hope to eventually some day come up with something good enough to publish.

Other nerdly pursuits involve being
a Wingnut (the Aaron Sorkin seasons (1-4) are my favorites)
a Trekkie (Voyager is my favorite)
a band geek (I play the French Horn pretty well, the recorder passably, and the piano pretty badly indeed),
a drama dork (both theatre and musical theatre, thank you very much!),
a choir nerd (Yay for bizarrely androgenous females (which means alto II, if anyone was wondering)!),
a fantasy/sci-fi fan and Harry Potter fanatic (this last mainly includes late night debates on the series with my "housemates" and reading and writing mass quantities of fanfiction).

I have also been dubbed (affectionately, I'm sure) "Grammar Nazi" by my friends for my constant correction of those around me (there's even a Facebook group devoted to this side of me!), and I greatly enjoy scrapbooking, calligraphy, and chocolatiering. I'm an avid reader, and by avid I mean that I am rarely without a book, usually of the fantasy genre.

My only aspect of non-nerdiness is the fact that I am pretty much as technologically INept as you can get, though I do know how to check the voicemail on my phone, which is one up on my mother.

I'm also a PK.

And I have pwned the 50 Books in 52 Weeks Challenge, as of July 9th.

And I have pwned the 50 New Books in 52 Weeks Challenge, as of October 17.

When did you start watching B20

January

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams -- this may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.

Cervantes, as spoken in "The Man of La Mancha"

I got Sad Margo :D

At 8:09pm on September 6, 2008, JP Adams said…: Heya, found this after searching for "Theatre Ohio" (figured there had to be at least a few other Ohioan Theatre Nerdfighters), but only your page came up. Anywho, figured I'd friend you as I have a few friends who recently graduated from BGSU as well (not in Theatre, sadly). Hope your school year is going well. What's your Theatre season look like for this coming year?

At 12:17am on July 4, 2008, Phineas de Romanus said…: Cassie! I noticed I haven't stalked you in a while...I must remedy that. *rideo*

I have read some of your fanfics and I agree with Isabel that they are indeed a-mazing.

At 4:46am on June 30, 2008, Isabel said…: Query: How do you change the title of your page? Yours says, "Cassie G's Realm" while mine merely says, "My Page."

I feel extremely inferior.

XD

At 12:22am on June 27, 2008, Isabel said…: It's okay! I rant loads when I'm in the mood... :D

You phrase things way better than I do though. I'm a bit jealous to be honest. ;)

At 11:43pm on June 24, 2008, Isabel said…: Is it the Gary Stu-ness of Meyer's description of him that bothers you? Or is it that he's ridiculously over-protective?

(Those aren't my opinions, but I've heard that those are the two main reasons. :D)

But keep reading it!

At 10:25pm on June 24, 2008, Isabel said…: Oooh... So you're on Team Jacob then I take it?
*narrows eyes*

You're a Grammar Nazi as well! YAY!
The biggest problem with my grammar is that I tend to abuse. Punctuation. Thus creating. Fragmented. Sentences. ;)
