The Master. Or Thoreau.
you refused to clean up the corner.
You're fired.
My mom is very conservative, and she's tried to instill me with a belief of no sex before marriage. I have a slightly different view.
I've made the decision not to have sex until I have a stable job and relationship simultaneously so I have a "safe…
I wanted to see if this article was anywhere else on the internet, and found this:
http://www.nytimes.com/1990/01/28/opinion/l-all-work-and-no-play-makes-jack-a-nerd-054390.html
I find it fascinating that this particular opinion piece puts forward t…
I'm reading Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, if only because I have to read Northanger Abbey for a class and Austen parodies are so very appealing right now.
Oh, god, you are totally my sister in the hatred of the bad writing. *high fives*
Have you read The Most Popular Book in the Whole World? It parodies Stephenie Meyer's writing rather better than it probably should... And it's hilarious to boot.
Doesn't always work in winter in Minnesota, but I try...
For nerdfighters who dislike wearing socks and shoes, and wish it was appropriate to have their feet bare.
The final twilight book is a fangirl's crackfit. I mean really, how romantic is it that having this very pretty (but, let's face it, kind of empty) vampire's mutant freak-baby and said baby breaks your spine? Ooh, that sounds like true love to me...…
Oh, man, you hit several of my favorites. Sherwood Smith, Shannon Hale, Maria V. Snyder...
I have nothing to say but "seconded" to this post, really.
Yeah, Diana Wynne Jones is rather fabulous. Favorite is Howl's Moving Castle, but I read it before the movie came out and have to think of the two as completely separate entities.
Twilight used to be a "refuse to read," but then I read the books just so that I could point out the failings of the books to obsessive Edward-lovers (side note, my friend and I have decided that we wish we could accessorize with Cullen-skin purses,…

- About Me:
- I'm a college student, aspiring writer, general crazy person. Crazy as in I have had a "Your mom" conversation in vaguely Elizabethan English.

I like movies and music. And books, lots of books. I like making lists, crazy lists.
My favorite word of all time is this: "obsequy"
And I have no idea why.

How To Be A Nerd In Five Easy Steps (aka What I Did Yesterday)
How To Be A Nerd In Five Easy Steps (aka What I Did Yesterday)
1. Spend most of the day with random and exceptionally strange songs popping into your head, for example "It All Makes Sense at the End" by Hank Green or "Zombie Prostitute" by Voltaire or "The Doom Song" from Invader Zim. And actually enjoy it.
2. Get extremely excited that the library, again this year, is having a book sale. So excited that you can't keep talking to your friends for fear that the books you'll be interested in will… Continue

Top Ten Reasons Why I'd Make A Horrible Fairy Tale Princess
Reasons Why I'd Make a Horrible Fairy Tale Princess.
(Compiled last semester in a fit of randomness)
10. The glasses. Who ever heard of a nearsighted princess?
9. The aversion to things puffy and sparkly. Basically, the whole standard wardrobe is out.
8. The practicality. Seriously, I'm too practical to be a damsel in distress. I mean, if I were in Rapunzel's shoes, I wouldn't have the prince climb up my hair; I'd make him get a damn ladder.
7. The hair. My hair isn't long, particularly shiny,… Continue

Everything I Need To Know...
I learned from Shakespeare. I figure I might as well just admit right here - I am a huge nerd. Even more because I can cite characters and plays for all of these. Here is the proof of my nerdiness.
1. Silence often speaks more than words can tell (Lavinia,Titus Andronicus and Cordelia, King Lear)
2. "To thine own self be true." (Polonius, Hamlet)
3. "The course of true love never did run smoothe." (Lysander, Midsummer Night's Dream)
4. Don't be afraid of a codpiece or hairpiece if it'll get you… Continue

Kristine Kei said… - yes, Indeed. We must. I miss you. Did you notice that my most popular video got taken down off youtube? It sort of makes me want to cry. And sort of lose my faith in vid making. Encourage me so I don't quit entirely?

Andrew said… - Swords... Good taste in books... bakes cookies...
I love you.
P.S. Do you actually train with the swords? I for one am proficient with a number of western european blades (I like stabbing people for trophies), and have experiment with a few eastern asian swords (Mostly korean)

I have been meaning to make myself a Renaissance costume for years. Did you make the one you are wearing here?
P.S. You would make an awesome librarian. We are all as deranged as you. ::JOIN US::
