Irreverance is easy-- what's hard is wit.

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!

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… Continue

- I'm very saddened and sorry to hear what happened. If there's anything I can do besides my outraged post on Scotty's wall, feel free to ask. Best of luck; I really hope you can get this resolved. <3

- I certainly remember you. 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. :)

- It is kind of a coincidence, isn't it?
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.
