What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?

I am a Musical Theatre Nerdfighter who obsesses frantically over fandoms (STARKID, Harry Potter, and Doctor Who) and works of literature.

About Me:

I'm just your friendly neighborhood Drama Kid, humming show tunes on repeat and constantly planning the next movie to make a costumed appearance at. I'm the kind of person who stockpiles Redvines after every visit to the US, and dreams of going to Hogwarts or discovering the TARDIS. I've gotten stares numerous times for laughing out loud at an issue of Fruits Basket in a public place. I've used the phrase "Well excuse me, Princess!" and nearly died laughing.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm either insane or a Nerdfighter. Or both. Awesome.

Favorite Movies:
Back to the Future
Donnie Darko
Stardust
The last Harry Potter movie (if only for the fond memories of seeing it- they really did not do the books justice)
Rocky Horror Picture Show (again for the experience)
Clue (I know it's based on a board game but it's great!)
Star Wars (I'm no trekie, although I have visited Vulcan...)
Lord of the Rings (I never finished the book series, but I'm re-reading them and they may just find themselves on my book list)
It's now that I realize that I don't watch too many movies...

Favorite Music:
Starkid Soundtrack (all of their shows including LWL)
Chicago Soundtrack
Wicked Soundtrack
Little Shop of Horrors Soundtrack
Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack
Avenue Q Soundtrack
Book of Mormon Soundtrack
Coldplay
Mumford and Sons
Billy Joel
The Killers
Clockwork Quartet (I love the Doctor's Wife!)
Great Big Sea
Pretty much any song that was a hit in the 80s (I blame my jazz teacher who had me grooving to Olivia Newton John at age 6)

Favorite Musicals:
Wicked
Avenue Q
Chicago
World's Worst Musical (It counts!)
Fiddler on the Roof
Little Shop of Horrors
Hairspray
Lion King
Starkid Musicals (Yes they count too!)

Favorite Manga/Anime:

Avatar: The Last Airbender
These are my top 3 and I feel as though it will stay that way (until something I love even more comes along)

Favorite Video Games:
Legend of Zelda Series (All time favorite: Ocarina of Time)
Professor Layton (The whole series is amazing, the end of the 3rd game had me bawling)
Soul Caliber IV (Because everyone needs a mindless button mashing pandemic)

Favorite TV Shows (Non Anime):
Doctor Who
Vampire Diaries (Surprisingly good!)
Big Bang Theory
Batman (The Adam West one, it's quite possibly the most hilariously amazing thing ever)
The Legend of Zelda (So agonizingly awful it's good!)

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

A fascinator, preferably a 1940s style one with feathers and lace. Well that and this enormous green velvet top hat with purple feathers and flowers around the rim. That's probably the best thing I've ever had on my head. I would say a blue headband but I don't want my thoughts to be in sync with someone else.

If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?

My personal happy dance would be with a flashmob of my drama friends, the Starkids (with Darren leading), The Doctor, and the cast of Harry Potter. That would be freaking amazing.

When did you start watching the Vlogbrothers?

August, 2011

Make up your own DFTBA initialism!

Darling, focus. The Basilisk is Attacking.
