Mae posted a discussionIs Nerdfighteria an exclusive club?
So, after not having logged into their account for quite a long time, a friend of mine went to login to this ning, only to find that they had to answer MANY trivia questions about John and Hank, and Nerdfighteria in general. Since my computer has been logged into this account, even though I have not been active, I have not personally experienced this nerdfighter quiz. Maybe this topic has been already addressed, but since when has being a nerdfighter been an exclusive club? Since when have we…See More

They don't, they have just been/lived together for that long. It's so stupid, I don't know why anyone really CARES about it. If they don't like gay marriage, then don't get one! Bah. It is just silly.
So, what other nerdfighter stuff are you into? I like Doctor Who :P

- Do you like Renee? And I'm sorry to hear about the fight, I'm sure it will all work out, it usually does :) My parents are kinda a part of my life. More so my father than my mother, my mother has tons of addiction problems and mental issues that she needs to work through. My dad is remarried and they have 3 children who are much younger than me (the littlest is 13 years younger). I love them all dearly.
I am quite the HP fan haha :D I am getting so excited for DH p1 to come out that I've already started making plans with people. I assume you are too, considering the HPA banner you have going on :D

- Hey Mae! :)
You are not alone! I am in the custody of my great great aunt and her partner who have been together for 51 years :) They are absolutely wonderful and I love them to death. My younger sister lives with us too, she is almost 12. What is your story?

IzzyH said… - I really really really really sorry again,I know you said it's ok,but I still fell awfal.I'm the kind of person that will buy a bunch of flowers on a bin because I took a dead one of it,or send a happy birthday message twice because I was going to give the present on the day before but didn't until the achal day (both things I've done)
My mum's started teaching at a school placement as part of her teacher training programe.I've been given like a card thing to be signed to say if I'm late for register or don't give homework in on time (both of which I'm very bad at) and I fogot it once and now my mum's saying that if I don't improve then she's gonna stop be going to choir and violin lessons and doing gcse music,which makes me sad because music is my life,but also because I have a mother that wants me to be perfect,that's what upset me the most.
Mum and dad didn't get a divorce in the end.I don't really know what happened with that,but it's my mum's buissnes,not mine.
I'm getting to do the gcse's I want,which is good.Still have no idea how I got into art,though.
There's been a lot of stuff going on with first love and all that :P basicly,I fell in Love with a guy,and then my best friend did,then they went out,and he started being a jerk to her like he was to me,then she found out she has cancer and has until the age of 21 to live.But I got over him,which is good.But I'm worried for my friend.She's got over him to,but there's still something there,which I compleatly understand.I don't know what to do.
I hope your good.I've missed talking to you.
DFTBA.

- I'm really sorry I haven't talked for so long!God,I feel terrable.I'm sorry,but there was a lot of stuff going on with my GCSE options,and then my parents are possably getting divorced,but the're staying together as a coupple,and then my aunt came round and we had a 'clear up' of the house that didn't go anywhere,and my mum got depressed and had another attack in the pancrious,so I never really got round to some things.Again,I'm so so sorry!I'm a bad person.But now I've chosen my GCSE's,so that's out of the way,and coursework dosn't get serious until next year,so I'll be on here,though not as much as usal.
Angain,I'm sosososososo sorry.An I fogiven?

Tenley Nadine said… - Your welcome. I'm glad you know how awesome the majority of Nerdfighters and I'm glad the discussion didn't turn you away from the site altogether. Also, I admire your ability to overcome something like Dyslexia. I've known anyone else personally with it, but I have a small understanding of how hard it must be.
Have a great week! DFTBA

- I saw your discussion about not fitting in on the ning, and was going to leave this comment there, but it kind of turned into a debate kind of thing. I apologize for that, even though I didn't post anything, I still feel a little guilty that your discussion feel victim to it.
Anyways, the ning really is an awesome place. Its just because of the amount of members, everyone has a different opinion about "how far is to far" and they want to express it. Which is fine, except sometimes it gets out of hand.
Anyways, I felt a little bit like I think you do (I can only imagine, but I think its similar) when I first joined the ning. I was a little bit scarred to join into the conversations because it was already so big and I wasn't sure how easily it would be to make friends here. But eventually I just started joining groups and commenting on discussions and met a lot of really awesome people.
I don't know if that last paragraph helped at all, but the best advice I can give is to ignore the haters on here, and chat with the made of awesome people... because in my experience their's a lot of made of awesome people.
Other than that, how are you? I probably should have introduced myself at the beginning... Oh well, better late then never. I'm Tenley, I'm 18 from Virginia and an Psychology/English major. I like reading/writing/drawing/music/and Youtube vlogging. Um... I think that's it. If you want to know anything else, just ask, and I'll let you know.
DFTBA

Sitting by your side, powerless.
I sit by your side, I watch the drug that is poisoned flow into your veins, almost killing you, but saving your life.
A year ago I thought you were invincible, but now you look so weak. You might even die.
You sleep because that’s all you can do, and I watch you, because that’s all I can do.
Other patrons of the hospital are around us, death pushing in from all sides. I try not to stare, because I don’t want to see.

To my five year old self
I just wanted to tell you a couple of things, and warned you about a couple of things.
Your next year will be the best and worst of your life. Six years old
will be your most chaotic, most formative, and most crazy year-to-date.
First of all, you might want to reconsider your assessment (which means
judgment) of the Harry Potter series. They are not stupid, and you will
learn soon enough.
Secondly, that theater class is definitely a good idea, in fact, one… Continue

The best education is life, and the best literacy is observance.
There has always been an internal struggle within me, over many subjects, but for now, I would like to focus on literacy and education.
Two subjects that probably seem pretty straightforward, to me, however, they are nuanced.
Let me start out with literacy, and let me start out my discussion on literacy by saying: I despise libraries. I hate them, I don’t like to see them, I don’t like to be in them, and I don’t like to be around them. I never have. If I have to take a… Continue

The journey of cancer.
When I found out that my mum (non biological) had breast cancer, like anyone else, I was shocked and scared and a thousand other things! I didn't know what to say, or do, or think or feel. I was so scared and shocked. "how could this happen to her? Cancer is for other people, not my mom!" My grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer just two years before, she has opted out of chemotherapy, which means her likelihood of survival goes way down! And now my mum! Because of my experience with my… Continue
