WhitneySkyWalker commented on John Giezensomething's blog post Question"Wow, how rude of me. I didn't mean that your question itself was horrible, but rather the concepts involved were horrible to think about.
I think I would revise my answer now too. Knowing when you'll die might not be so bad. So many people…"

WhitneySkyWalker commented on Clover's blog post Meeting favourite authors"Thank you for sharing! It's become one of my life's goals to meet as many authors as possible. I, too, have met John Green and have babbled incoherently in his presence. (Don't worry, it's a natural reaction to…"

- About Me:
- I graduated in 2007 with my MLIS. I was a library assistant in Aurora, CO before I was laid off (because of budget issues) at the end of 2009. Now I'm trying to get a librarian position anywhere. I love YA books, kids books and graphic novels; oldies, classical, 80s music and an eclectic mix of pop songs; Nintendo games starring Mario and Zelda; and lazy activities like sleeping and staring at the computer. Occasionally my fiance and I get out of the house to hike and stare at dinosaur fossils. When we're not able to do that, we play board games together or make out on the couch.

I think this test is somewhat unfair...I'm definitely more nerdy than that! But the questions were obviously only testing your computer/science/technology nerdiness factor. There are so many other types of nerdiness!
Oh, here's the newest version:

Crazy Hank Green Dream
Just thought I'd share a crazy dream I had about Hank Green last night:
So, I was going to Hank Green's house to interview him (not sure why or what for). He talked a lot about how hard it is to be a farmer, because apparently Hank Green is a farmer in his spare time. Then he invited me into his garage to see all his farming equipment. His garage, which he summoned with an elevator (just roll with me here), turned out to be a huge cave made entirely with snow. And, although it was… Continue

Clover said… Thank you so much for leaving a comment on my blog post, you listed so many great books! I absolutely adored The Hunger Games trilogy. And Will Grayson, Will Grayson! But I also loved The Book of Lost Things and I cannot wait to read Going Bovine.. I've heard such good things about it.

Phebe said… - Wow, ok, so there are no excuses for me being away so long. lol. Well, I could try to come up with a few... To be truthful, I just haven't been getting on the computer that much lately, and I almost never went to the Ning... But now I'm back! Yay! lol.
Yay!!! for reading Twilight! Have you read New Moon or Eclipse yet?! lol. I'm really glad you liked it!! I mean, they're not groundbreaking or anything, but they sure are literary crack for the fangirl's heart! haha! I love them. And I'm so excited for Breaking Dawn! It comes out August 2nd. Have you read Stephenie's other book The Host? It's not in the same series, but it is definitely wonderful. :D

- Yes those pictures of Daniel are pretty steamy! I've read equus and its not as bad as the media makes it out to be but it is pretty intense. Duluth is good... but there is way to much constuction going on and it makes traffic really bad!

- Hello. Yay for Knitting Nerdfighters! I'm a vegetarian too! I love all your pictures with you ole timey clothes! And your profile pic is totally jokes.

- Haha! Thanks for the advice! I'm doing a little bit better... Lol. Only weeks left. I think that includes finals. I love finals. They're so easy. I always work really hard the entire semester, so I don't feel bad slacking a little on finals. Is that bad? Haha! I mean, I work hard if it's like the only grade I have in the class, but generally I slack in my studies. And, since I don't really have to do anything but work and study, I get to SLEEP! And I love sleep. And Work. Work is fun, and easy. :D

Rikitiki said… - Hello I don't know you, but I do like your choice in books (GO HITCHHIKER'S!!!) :p. Well, unfortunatly I got tagged a few months ago and I'm just now getting to it so I decided to randomly choose people to tag. You happen to be one of them so... Use your awesome Nerdfighting Nerdness and good luck to you!
Also, I think today is your birthday, due to the little comment under your disscusions, so happy birthday! *Throws a Superb Blue Wren at you!* If you happen to name it and give it a gender, please tell me ^.^
