What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?: I would like to consider myself a science-, literature- and handicraft nerd, but mostly I watch TV.

About Me:: I study physics at university, although at the moment I'm more interested in reading. I also enjoy writing, sewing, knitting, dancing, long walks along moonlit beaches and problem solving using equations. If it wasn't for the social expectations (and the earlier mentioned studies) I'd sleep sixteen hours a day and constantly walk around wearing pyjamas. I appreciate good spelling and have a minor nervous breakdown whenever I see more than two exclamation marks in a row. So, basically, I'm like most people.

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more: Favourite authors include Neil Gaiman, Erlend Loe and Tove Jansson, to name a few.
I'm not very critical when it comes to movies, and will leave the cinema (or sofa) thinking "WOW!" almost every time.
My music playlist right now include the Mountain Goats, Bo Kaspers Orkester, Chameleon Circuit, the music from Kristina från Duvemåla and the Doctor Who soundtrack.
Doctor Who also tops my list of favourite TV-shows, followed by QI, Sherlock, Community, The IT Crowd and Downton Abbey (though not necessarily in that order).

What's your favorite thing to put on your head?: Knitting needles. Though I suppose they're technically in my hair, not on my head.

If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?: Fred and George.

When did you start watching the Vlogbrothers?: September, 2010

I was at the beach with my cousin the other day, when a little boy walked up to us.

"Hi", he said, "Do you speak Swedish?"

We admitted we did, so he went on:

"My name is Rufus. I'm five years old." Since the only response he got was a rather boring "Oh", he decided to continue.

"I live on an island over there", he pointed out towards the sea. "Have you ever been there?" We looked suitably apologetic as we, slightly surprised, shook our heads. By this time he had realised…
