All my friends were telling me about the show Doctor Who, so I decided to watch it. It became one of my obsessive things. I've cried so much, it's insane. My family probably thinks I am insane, I just sit in my room with headphones in, yelling at my computer and crying my eyes out.  My favorite Doctor is the 10th, and my favorite companion is Rose.  I have seen all the episodes, but not the old stuff, just starting with the 9th Doctor.  I am currently re-watching it all, so you can…

So, all of my life people have been talking about Harry Potter.  There was this one point where I was on a Destination Imagination team (Google it) and the rest of my team was talking about Harry Potter and I was TOTALLY clueless.  My dad, who was the coach, told them that I didn't get it because I wasn't a nerd like them... I think he was joking though :] ANYWAYS, sorry, off topic.  So all of my friends were really into Harry Potter, but I never was.  I hadn't read the books, or seen the…

• i have started a youtube channel because i am really in to photography I'm thirteen years old and i don't really know who to get people to join or be aware of it so can you please please please watch my video…

So finally,

I was able to start my campaign to reduce wordsuck by collecting info about countries and stuff only to share it with everyone.

Thanks!

Good day my dear Nerdians, Nerds and Nerdfighters! 

In this blog I'll be talking/typing about a wee thing that's popped up on the Tumblr. 

As this half wit tends to swear and curse, if said manner of writing makes you uncomfortable.…

After all of those wonderfully depressing books I read in the winter, I was quite ready for my Redwall fix.  And there are still at least five Tales of Redwall that I haven't yet read (I believe there are 21 or 23 altogether).

This is one of the tales which branches out beyond the borders of Mossflower, even further than Salamandastron, the mountain of hares and badgers.  The climax of this tale takes place on Green Isle, an island on the Western Sea to which a young Redwall…

What do you think about that?

Hey guys! I'm new to the nerdfighters world so sorry if I'm a little slow on the uptake! :D If any of you guys could give me tips on how this all works I would be so grateful. I was just converted earlier this week! I'm so excited! This seems like one big, supportive community! I've been watching a lot of the videos and I especially enjoyed Hank's take on the moral of the Hunger Games and I totally agree. Thanks for this great community! DFTBA! ;D 

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs all speak to Severus Snape through the map when he caught Harry with it. Now "Prongs" (James Potter) is dead at the time this map is being read. Yet, he responds to Severus. Does that make the map some sort of Horcrux? Or is it just a bit of their collective consciousnesses, like one of Hogwarts's talking paintings. It would be very un-Maurauderlike  to make a Horcrux, so the latter seems more likely. Which…

On our amazing trip to bush gardens to day with my band, I found out that one of my friends was also a nerdfighter, and we found another wearing the pizza shirt in the line to Sheikra!

To celebrate we decided that we would do the Nerdfighter hand signal... in the front row... as we had our picture taken!

Awesomeness!

I'm in the center with the bandanna, Tori Allen is on my left and Emily Rodriguez is on my right! tried to get the rest of the front row to do it with us, and…

Do you know that quote where John Green talks about nerds being able to obssess over things shamelessly?

Well, I do that. A while ago it was Glee; then I switched to Hunger Games, then I became obsessed with Cassandra Clare. Two weeks ago it was guitars. Last week, I was really into Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. This week.....*drumroll* it's rock n' roll. I've gotten every single Aerosmith cd known to man. As well as ACDC of course (:

One thing that has remained…

The purpose of this blogpost is to give some tips on how to interact with Muggles, especially concerning the Art of Small Talk. I'll highlight some general social skills that I have observed among the masses. I have stressed "real life" as, you may have noticed, online interactions are different. I don't know why, but they are. Must be the virtual thing.…

Call me sentimental.

     Call me insane.

Yeah yeah...cheezy, I know.  But I like bugs!  And puns!  And buggy puns!

I was just wondering if any of my fellow Nerdfighters out there would be able to keep an eye out for some cool insects for me?  There are certain ones I absolutely love and just want in my collection because they are cool (Sphinx Moths, Tiger Beetles & Saturniidae Moths and many more!!!) but there are also some other moths that I could use for my graduate research.  They are called sod webworms and are…

Hey NerdFighters!

I'm always looking for other youtubers to collab with.

If you want me in anything, let me know.

But today I have an opportunity for you to get in my videos! I do weekly weird news videos (see below). There's three ways you can get involved:

1) Goto http://spweirdnews.tumblr.com/ - find the weekly tongue twister, record yourself saying (fast) and send that…

I've decided to start planing for this year's project for Awesome. I know it's a bit early, but I wish to make a big thing of it. The goal is to raise money for Camfed International by setting a goal of money to raise and then shaving my head on Project for Awesome day. I am a small time Youtuber and am hoping to get some support via Youtube as far as raising money, but do not know where to go to set up donations. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks, Sarah

We are really good friends and you can tell me anything. you recently told me you had been molested a raped by your stepfather. you thought that  i would look at you differently, but im your friend and i love you are a beautiful girl and just because this tragic thing happened to you it doesnt define who you are just keep moving forward and dont let the negative thing rule over your choices in life

I've never been much of a reader. It's that I'm a bad reader (although my attention span keeps me from being a great one), but I've always been too impatient to make the time. Well, I want that to change that. My goal for the rest of the year is to start reading, but I need recommendations! I'm not sure where to start, so help a fellow Nerdfighter out.
