The one that always comes to mind is melancholy. This is mainly because of the way my friend pronounces it, with the emphasis on the 'lan'.

So excited! Think I can get a couple of my friends in on it, though they're not Nerdfighters. At the moment I'm thinking of rereading all the Harry Potters; it's long overdue.

Walking through the library the other day, I was looking for a friend. There was a map of the library on the wall... and I stopped to look for a dot with my friend's name. And it's years since I read the books.

Is it bad that I keep adding characters every time I feel like I'm going to run out of stuff? I started off with two and now I have at least nine, not to mention all the peripheral ones.

Agreed! (Picture books, that is.)

Sirius, Luna, Tonks. Just because.

Coming across random Princess Bride references on the Ning really makes my day.

Behind, behind, behind - but I did manage 7,000 words yesterday, so another couple of days like that and I'll be fine!

Thanks! It saddens me that I no longer have as much time for reading, so I'm really looking forward to this.

I used to regularly read eight or nine books a week until school started getting hard. Still do, in the holidays. Depends on reading speed, I suppose, but I wouldn't class it as ridiculous.

So, right elbow: ui43jj7uy Left elbow: jhuienjnjhyy Nose: jehh6 Well, I fail utterly.

I'm so fantastically behind I'm not sure I'll make it. The past two weeks have been so hectic I've barely been able to write at all. I'm still determined, though!

1. Both are perfectly correct, depending on how much emphasis you want. 2. If you're typing it, Word has a word count feature - as that's really the only programme I use to type I can't speak for any others.

My friends went, but I didn't get to :(

Profile Information

What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?
Literature, Music, Art, Maths, Eco-freak?
About Me:
I love reading (though that goes without saying), but I'm quite picky; I can't stand the Twilight books, and I'm always on the lookout for grammar, spelling and punctuation errors, because I'm pernickety like that! I try to write, rather unsuccessfully, and I like music of all kinds. I love films, although I always come out at the end in a kind of dream state. Either that or heart-breakingly miserable because it's over. I don't watch TV much because of the overwhelmingly rubbish fare for the most part; however, I do like DVDs (Blackadder, Black Books, etc.) and I'm addicted to Radio 4, because I'm a cool teenager like that.
Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more
Many... let me think.
Discworld, Good Omens, Neverwhere (every time I read it, I want to be part of it all), Catch-22, Looking for Alaska, Sophie's World, Mansfield Park, His Dark Materials, The Moving Toyshop, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Poppy Shakespeare, The Lives of Christopher Chant, The Liar, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, Feeling Sorry For Celia, Rebecca, The Waves (though I had to read it in short bursts so my head didn't explode, I loved it), The Tempest (can I count that as a book? It's my favourite Shakespeare play, anyways), To Kill A Mockingbird, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Beloved, The Colour Purple, The Catcher in the Rye, Cut, Skin, A Long Way Down, High Fidelity, About a Boy, anything by Roald Dahl (especially his creepy stories), Margaret Mahy's books in general, and Aidan Chambers' Dance sequence.
What's your favorite thing to put on your head?
A hat?
If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?
Stephen Fry
When did you start watching B20

Marauder's Map

Twilight

But that's not what my dad calls it. Henceforth I shall also be referring to it as Twiglet.
I love my family.

I just had to write a small thingamajig about something that happened in school today that I'm both excited and nervous about. The basic idea is that a group of us start up a Gay-Straight Alliance group in our school, by taking the idea first to the Learning Mentor and then onto senior staff. We all feel it's needed; though the school has an anti-bullying policy, it doesn't include anything specific about homophobia, and it is a problem to some extent in school. For example, whilst one class was… Continue

Wuthering Heights

Oh, Nelly Dean. Why must you be so odious? How am I ever going to get through this classic novel if I can't get past the way you make my skin crawl?
And exactly why do I hate you so much?

I've just seen your comment about The Bride's Farewell. It's not a bad book, and Rosoff writes really beautifully, so I think it is still worth reading but it isn't in any way on the same level as How I Live Now which blew me away.

Hahahaha, science lessons are always a good laugh. Consider this- we we're examining the visible emission spectrae of various compounds, and this purely involved buring them by spraying small amounts directly into a flame. It was amazing.

Ahhh, you can wear own clothes? I would say I'm jealous but I'm not so sure- we have very strict guidelines and in a way I think this saves me a bother. When you're wearing a suit all you have to consider is shirt and tie, so getting dressed each day is a sinch. But, of course, we still carry the same intimidating gravitas as I expect you do. Oh how the little one's fear us. And yes, I agree, the teachers definitely treat us with more *something*.

I'm doing Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry and French. Everyone looks at me like I'm mad when they here the full list. Most of my family reacted with a sharp intake of breath.... XD

And I agree, 6th form is great fun, so far. There is a notable difference, for me. I mean, if we have double chemistry, our teacher lets us spend 5-10 minutes lounging around outside to break up the lesson. I enjoy being a student, now, instead of being a pupil.

I'm just sharing the love of the Moomins

or as they call them in their native land Muumi. I was there, and there was many Moonin memorbeilia to collect, and so I did, and there was much rejoycing...

...however I gave it all to my girlfriend, and there was more rejoycing...

...I'm not sure where I'm going with this...

So yeah, this reply is also quite late.

My utmost congratulations to you!!

What are your A-Levels then, Trick?

Ahhh Trick, sorry for my late reply. 5 days late, actually.
Vampire weekend were my ideal stress-buster, too. They helped ease my mind.
The results day for me was far better than I ever hoped. I.... I sort of got all A*s.... I am still kind of in disbelief.

Congratulations on your Additional Maths, and I hope you did well elsewhere!

Also, you like Black Books? I FREAKING LOVE THAT SHOW!
