Number8 replied to Meg Eldritch's discussion 'Boys vs. Girls'

This is news to me, really. I'm a girl, but I can't say I care too much about my appearance in the first place. I dress pretty unimpressively on a daily basis because I really don't have that many friends who would do horrible things to me if I didn…

Number8 replied to Samantha Bean's discussion 'How to talk to real people'

I'm the same way. The most succesful conversations I've had were when I've asked people questions about themselves.

Number8 replied to Marissa McMinn's discussion 'How to get over a first love.'

Start liking someone else. You don't have to go out with them or seriously consider them or even know/ talk to them, just find someone else to show you that there are truly awesome people out there who are worthy of your affections.

Number8 replied to Indie-Pants's discussion 'Is there love for us nerds?'

This is why we need to take all nerdfighters and potential nerdfighters to another planet or something. Then we wouldn't HAVE this problem... better yet take all decepticons and put them on another planet, then we fix this one and everyone can find…

Number8 commented on John Green's blog post 'Volunteering (In Your Pants)'

Question. The mention of your hair cut in th beggining made me wonder. Do you make decisions in your everyday life taking into account what the nerdfighters will think? Like before you get a hair cut, do you think 'the nerdfighters will notice this'…

Profile Information

What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?

I'm a reading, writing, acting, thinking nerdfighter.

About Me:

Hi, I'm Emily. I'm a nerdfighter with terrible people skills, little direction, obsessive tendencies and a peter pan complex. I believe love is a stronger word than hate (that is not a romantic statement). I do not believe in God anymore, and I think the world is more wonderful for his/her/its absence. I admire thoughtful people of all kinds. I regret nothing. I read. I write. I am. I apparently enjoy typing the pronoun 'I' repeatedly for effect. I am generally an optimist. I have been told that I am cute. I love to act. Don't I sound interesting? You should like me!

What's your favorite thing to put on your head?

Books. I can balance a lot of books on my head.

Why I won't forget that you stole my book.

Hi. This is a frustrated, angry post made at 5:00 am on no sleep. Soooo yeah... you can disregard it. I just like complaining.

I used to own Christopher Hitchens' God is not Great before my parents found out I was an atheist, at which point they stole it from me and threw it in a garbage shoot. If you've seen the board I made in my frustration at the situation, and if you're reading this you probably have, you know that this is old news. What followed, of course, was the confiscation of… Continue

I must say, I admire your ability to change your mind regarding an issue on which it was quite clear you had put a great deal of personal faith and conviction. I read your reply on CtH's wall, so I already know why you changed your mind. Props for not being dogmatic. :)

What changed your mind?

Not to mention that my friend Pam (the girl who sits to my right in chorus) is on here too.

Really? That's cool!
I don't go to the library much, since I prefer to buy my books.
But I found nerdfighters through John Green's book ads. They're in his last two books at least, and I decided to check it out.
