- Future doctor, photoshopping, Rubik's Cube solving, pro-Israel multitasking mermaid Nerdfighter
- About Me:
- I am a pre-med student at the University of Florida who watches way too much TV. I am also a strong supporter of Israel and do what I can to help her. I lived there for a year between high school and starting college and always feel a part of me is missing when I am not there.
I happen to know a lot of random trivia but unfortunately am unable to just list the facts, they just pop into my head when appropriate (or not). I am a pretty talented internet surfer and can find pretty much anything. These skills also eventually led me here. I love photoshop and am pretty good check out my profile picture I made the little mermaid do the nerdfighter sign with her hands =). I could not live with out my lap top which provides me with the most vital things I need: TV, movies, music, and a way to communicate with my friends most of whom live in other cities, states, and countries than I.
Just discovered my full name anagrams to "sobriety seller ireland"...does anyone else notice the irony?
- Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more
- Harry Potter series, Someone to Run With by David Grossman, the Fay Kellerman series, My Sister's Keeper, Perfect Match, The Pact and Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult, the Sarah Dessen novels I've read, Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, the Gossip Girl series, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, the Twilight series, Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns by John Green and I'm sure Katherines will make the list as soon as my bookstore gets it in so I can buy it!
- What's your favorite thing to put on your head?
- whatever is around which is usually my teddy bear. He makes quite a good head pillow.
- If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?
- well this is more than one person, but my best friends most of whom do not live in the same city, state or even country as I

"Why were the trees silent?" - a Holocaust Remembrance Day reflection
The last, the very last,
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing
against a white stone. . . .
Such, such a yellow
Is carried lightly 'way up high.
It went away I'm sure because it wished to
kiss the world good-bye.
For seven weeks I've lived in here,
Penned up inside this ghetto.
But I have found what I love here.
The dandelions call to me
And the white chestnut branches in the court.
Only I never saw another butterfly.
That butterfly was t… Continue

Just wanted to set the record straight.
DFTBA
To start, (obviously) a book needs to be chosen. Considering the median age of the Nerdfighters, we opted for a YA book. The Nerdfighter who started this project--Oh how lovely--asked for book suggestions from the community; eventually she listed the suggested books and had us vote. After the book was chosen (An Abundance of Katherines by John Green), Oh how lovely established a cut off date for sign ups, and told everyone who was interested that they should e-mail (or private message her) their address. After the cut off date passed, the group started discussing the nitty-gritty of the project. What rules are there? How long can one have the book? Hey, should we have a journal as well to write down our thoughts? How exactly is this book going to be passed along? What are we going to do with it when we're done?
We decided that a journal would be passed around with the book so people can write down their thoughts and feelings on the book (they are also alowed to write in the book, too). The organizer, or a willing volunteer, took the addresses and sent everyone an address of a person to whom they would be passing the book and journal along to. It is important to remind the participants that postage fare may get expensive the heavier the book and journal is and the further they have to send it. I was in charge of organizing the addresses and giving everyone an address to send to; I decided to randomly organize the addresses (however, I did organize the European countries because of time and money issues. . .it would also be good to look for volunteers to send the book and journal overseas to the overseas participants). You can choose to organize the addresses anyway you'd like (obviously. I mean, I'm not going to tell you what to do, that'd be rude. I'm just babbling now, I should stop. . .anyways).
We also decided on three rules: 1) While the book and journal are in your possession, you must do something to decrease World Suck; 2) you can only keep the book and journal for two weeks [your group may opt for more or less time]; 3) you must pass the book and journal along to the next participant
Right now, we are discussing, off and on, what we are going to do with the book and journal when we are done. Suggestions like giving the book and journal to John, or selling or raffeling them off and giving the money raised to charity, or giving the book and journal to a Nerdfighter who participated in the project, or scanning the journal onto a computer and uploading the pages to a website so people can see what the Nerdfighters wrote, or a combination of any of these. Other ideas have been mentioned, and I know many other great ideas will be thought up.
Because of the two week time limit, and because about 100 Nerdfighters signed up for this project, Oh how lovely split the group up into two groups--thus two books and two journals; this way, the project would be completed in two years instead of four years.
Because I have everyone's e-mail address, I send out monthly e-mails to everyone reminding them of the rules and that they should participate in the discussion thread and Ning group. I mostly do this to remind everyone, and myself, of the project; you know how crazy life can get, sometimes ya just forget things :D.
In short, this project is all about a large group of Nerdfighters participating in a fun project while looking to decrease World Suck in any way and in as many ways as possible.
If you need clarification or further explanation or have any more questions, feel free to post a message on the groups wall or post a message on my wall.
I hope this helps you out :)
DFTBA!
