Mia Mataja replied to Eric aka moosemuffin's discussion New to nerdfighters.com? Introduce yourself here!
"One thing I forgot. I love sitting in cafes or train stations or pastery shops, looking at the faces of strangers and guessing their life stories. Sometimes they're hillarious, sometimes just gossipy mean, sometimes wonderfully sad, but always…"

"Hi, I'm Mia. I don't exactly remember how I even stumbled upon the very first Vlogbrothers video I saw. I guess it's been such an intense experience in such a short time that I just forgot.      What makes me a nerd…"

The TARDIS

"Good job! The colors really complement each other nicely. Us drawing and painting people should also think about puting our works printed on T shirts and wearing them around town (wherever we live or go travelling). Maybe someone will notice and…"

Mia Mataja commented on Haua (Projects Ningmaster)'s blog post Things I Can Do
"This is a really longquote by a Croatian writer Zoran Pongrasic from a book called The Hi-Fi Chair, and it goes so well with this particular vieo of yours that I just had to translate it for you. Please read it, I think you'll love it, maybe…"

Gunslinger Born, 2012

"Thank you. That's about the only thing I'm good at while drawing. Texture, that is to say shading. Lots and LOTS of shading. I'd suck at line drawing. Especially if it were for a comic book. U have to be so precise, I suppose."

Mia Mataja replied to Clover's discussion Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
"Ender's Game is truly one of those most relevant things about life out there. I'll never forget how one night, late at night, my dad and I were reading the first third out loud for about three hours. Now we'll never get to finish it…"

Profile Information

What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?
The reading kind, really it's unhealthy how much I read. And I keep a little notebook around with titles of books I've read or should read in the future. There's very little room left(mostly because it's alphabetic and I left too many pages for writers with lastnames beginning with Q, Z etc.) Also, not unlike John, the athletic kind.
About Me:
The only thing that truly fulfills me (even though it's not my profession) is drawing, especially that moment when you're finally done with the picture and you get to wipe all the smudges and come up with an awesome title and maybe even frame it. I love making fan art and illustrations for books (especially the kind that have never been illustrated). I'm pretty good, though quite slow (I wanna do it right). Favourite scene to be illustrated sometime in the future: Ending of "Franny and Zooey", Franny holding the phone to her ear, listening to nothing, then lying on the bed happy.
Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more
Basically 4 genre: 1.Books about growing up (not just young adult books, but also all Salinger-like literature); 2.Fantasy, 3.SF, 4. Dystopias
Catcher in The Rye, Seymour: An Introduction, A Song of Ice And Fire, The Dark Tower, Ender's Game, Night Watch, The Miles Vorkosigan series, Lord of the Rings, Draco Trilogy, Harry Potter, Georgina Kincaid series, A Home at the End of the World;

High Fidelity, Inception, Finding Forrester, Love Actually, Braveheart, The Pursuit of Happyness, You've Got Mail;

Flashforward, Downton Abbey, Supernatural, How I Met Your Mother

Guns 'N' Roses, Pulp, Green Day, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Doors, Daleka obala, 'Simple Man' by Lynyrd Skynyrd;
What's your favorite thing to put on your head?
silk scarves; a really warm blanket in winter
If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?
Zoran Pongrasic (a Croatian writer), but only because Salinger doesn't strike me as the dancing type, even beyond the grave
When did you start watching the Vlogbrothers?
2012
Make up your own DFTBA initialism!
