Shelby Brody left a comment for Dan"Yeah, I'm only on here sporadically as well. That said, though, I still want some nerdfighter friends, and I saw that you're a writer. Do you have a blog?"
Dan left a comment for Shelby Brody"Oh don't worry about it, I hardly ever come on here anymore lol"

Shelby Brody replied to Dan's discussion Favorite book by Chuck? in the group Chuck Palahniuk Nerdfighters"Oh come on, guys. Choke! I'll give it to you, though, Dan; Rant is definitely my honorable mention."
Shelby Brody left a comment for Sam O"Yes, reading is good. Reading makes us better writers.
Do you happen to have AIM? It might be better than commenting back and forth and back and forth... I want to talk about graphic novelling, because that's so jokes."
Sam O left a comment for Shelby Brody"Hahahah We're writers, we smile upon reading.
That said, I'm glad you put a long answer :)

Shelby Brody left a comment for Sam O"I'm fiction-inclined. As in: I could not write a decent poem if you paid me. I've been working at it. Right now I'm working on a sort-of fake memoir type deal. The plot and stuff are under wraps right now, because I'm not sure…"

Nerdfighters
I love being a nerdfighter. Honestly, sometimes I wonder how I got this far without having such a incredible, made-of-awesome community somewhere in my virtual life. Facebook has nothing on the Ning. That said, I usually blog over at my tumblr (http://shelbyiswriting.tumblr.com); but I've decided to start spending some more time here, too.
So, I just wanted to say to my fellow nerdfighters that you guys are so cool. I'm lucky…

Pavement is very very twitch-worthy, what other bands do you consider to be twitch-worthy? I can't exactly make introductions when I'm still at the stage of newbie-lurking atm . . . I've only had contact with like three people so far!
Ahhh iambic pentameter - the domain of the nerdy!
I too really enjoy picking apart performances - it's great if you can see something done more than once. That allows you to gauge audience reactions, slight changes in delivery of lines, how the actors work to convey meaning . . . I also find it easier to put my finger on exactly what an actor is doing physically to portray a certain character trait if I have the benefit of seeing their performance more than once.
I don't have a blog unfortunately . . . I think I fail at being a Nerdfighter by not having a blog or a tumblr or a daily booth or a twitter (apparently I have this other thing called 'a real life', I personally don't see its value). Skype and Facebook yes - oh how terribly mainstream and mundane. How about you? Any mediums of sharing some poetry? ;)

I write mostly fiction too. I write mostly for graphic novels, or I aspire them to be graphic novels. Screenplays sometimes. And I'm a songwriter, I'm on my third album's worth of songs :)
