Yining Su commented on Kenny's group 'Comic Book Nerds'

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?

Yining Su replied to Luke Clempson The 1st's discussion 'Superhero or Supervillain?'

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…

Yining Su replied to Luke Clements's discussion 'Helping Hand to the Homeless'

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…

Yining Su replied to Natasha's discussion 'The Pledge of Allegience'

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…

Yining Su replied to Faith The Fanpire's discussion 'Pick Your Pen Pal Here!' in the group Nerdfighter Pen Pals

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.

Yining Su commented on Kenny's group 'Comic Book Nerds'

I like both Marvel and DC's superheroes, but I really love DC's for it's other imprints like Wildstorm and Vertigo.

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

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

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 :-)
