I don't. I wouldn't have started to read comics if movies hadn't popularized superheroes I like. Not everyone can be as nerdy as us.

Don't you agree that the Gatorade/rice recipe would have been worse to eat?

Definitely supervillain. I'm neurotic, easily upset, and I can really, really hold a grudge. I'm also really ambitious but lack the motivation to achieve my goals through legitimate hard work. And Decepticon is totally right. Heroes are only here t…

I always feel really guilty about avoiding homeless people when I walk by them in the street, and I wish I could do what Ben Alexander is saying and talk to people, but I have to say that I'm a girl, and girls have far more concerns about their safe…

I'm not American and I've never lived in the States. But I'd imagine that if I did go to school somewhere where the Pledge of Allegiance was said every morning, I'd just stand and be quiet. I wouldn't want to say it, but I understand it's important…

Nope, I was talking to you.

Would you like to be my pen pal? My info is on page 33, I think. I also love literature, politics, and lurking on the internet.

Profile Information

What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?
All kinds, mostly. I like books, music, science fiction, Harry Potter, politics, and comic books and history and lots of other things. But the really important thing that makes me a capital-N nerd is that I can make even cool things seem nerdy just by my enthusiasm.
About Me:
I'm studying Political Science with a minor in English Literature at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. I was born in Xiamen, China and moved to Montreal, Canada at the age of 3. When I was in the 5th grade I read Harry Potter and it changed my life by making me a reader.
I am a trilingual.
If I was at Hogwarts, I'd be in Slytherin.
Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Wise Children by Angela Carter, Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
What's your favorite thing to put on your head?
Most things don't fit my head because it is too large.
If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?
Stephen Fry
When did you start watching B20
2009

Paper Towns the Anti-Twilight?

Sure I've never read Twilight, but it seems to me that John Green's writing does the complete opposite of Stephenie Meyer's.

Whereas Twilight is about a girl who falls in love with a perfect, flawless being, Paper Towns is about a boy who realizes that the girl he is in love with is not a perfect being, that in fact, perfect beings do no exist and that when we we imagine people to be more than they are, we are, to paraphrase John in a video from a while back, doing them and ourselves a profound… Continue

DOH! I somehow missed your comment on my page on working in conflict prevention, sorry!!! I'd love to chat with you about it some time. Do you use skype or MSN? I think it might be easier to have a conversation about it, "what's it like?" is quite a broad question :-)

I think it would be fun to be pen pals. Let me know if you would prefer email or snail mail. My ship leaves next Monday so email would be a lot easier.
