My internet is broken. That is sad news indeed.

Anyway, I'm back in school and I guess I'm happy with it. No on else that I know is a nerdfighter, so it's some pretty lonely business talking about John Green and awesome by myself.

Right now I'm reading Dream Girl. It's pretty good. Next I'm on to Devilish and then Girl at Sea. I seriously can't believe that I found two Maureen Johnson books at my library who's YA section is stuck in a little corner. They don't even have… Continue

Mic Check, One Two, Mic Check, One Two

So this is me, Nate. If you took the time to read my profile, yo u know a few things about me already. But if you didn't, fret not, for I will tell you anyway.

First off, I'm a Vegetarian. "Why?" you might ask? For many reasons. Health reasons plays a big part in it. It took some planning, but now I'm eating a healthier diet than have been in years, and while doing so, I'm also making sure that my diet has the smallest Carbon Footprint it can possibly have.

Secondly, I'm a… Continue

the upswing

things are on the upswing (*knock knock - must touch wood) for me these days, which is pretty great news. i've been thinking a lot about reality vs. perception and that got me thinking to a recent reply i typed out on a gerd's blog updating everyone on how the summer has been. now, given that the tone of the original blog post was on the it's-been-a-crappy-summer side, i figured i'd be honest and spill some of my guts, in my own way, in that comfy forum of similar experience. what i wrote was… Continue

Quiz stolen from ChristianTheHeretic (An insight into more sleep depravation)

Your best friend of the opposite sex likes you, what do you do?

Get insanely awkward and make weird noises if I like him. If I don't? I just keep being the wacky friend I am.

Have you ever seen someone you knew and purposely avoided seeing them?

I hid under a park bench a few days ago and it was really foul. I'm an awkward chick.

Do you know anyone with such a terribly annoying voice that you can't even stand it?

I can deal with most voices but I can't stand… Continue

Apprehension... nah... Butterflies... YEAH!!!

A little bit overwhelmed by the community built up, I'm also a little ashamed it took me this long to officially recognize my Nerdfighterianism...

I had to sit down and re-watch everything, because I have been away from even mediocre speed internet for 10 weeks!

There are many benefits from working in the Australian Snowy's, however internet that is capable of sending a simple email is not in existence. So, to re-familiarise myself with the Brotherhood, etc. I watched it all again,… Continue

Daydreams...

Now that I have a bus ride to and from school I have at least two hours every five days to stare out a window and think about stuff.

(Ah motion sickness, will you ever stop sucking?)

So as I stare into the endless expanse of blue cloudy sky I find myself imagining riding a Choccobo or a horse (and sometimes just me walking) across an endless grassy plain... or taking an airship or a hot air balloon into the clouds where there is a floating city. Flying on the back of a dragon.… Continue

Leaky -- no, not 'Cauldron'

So the other day it rained pretty hard. I suppose it's only natural, since it is monsoon season here in Arizona. However, I wouldn't have a problem with it if my apartment's windows didn't have a leaking problem. The water does not seep through the bottom of the windows, mind you, but it drips down from the top. I wouldn't think of this as a moment of emergency if my computer wasn't right in front of one of the two windows with the problem. This called for a ridiculous number of hand towels to… Continue

"It starts. You THINK you know a guy."

NAME THAT QUOTE!!

I woke up at friggin' five and tried going to sleep again for over an hour and it didn't work. So I did some Facebook stuff and some news updating and am now farting around, eating rainbow colored Goldfish crackers and yeah...

Anyway, some brief updates before more musing and non-pointed ramblings. Lora and I met up in Seattle and stayed at Andy's house, then the three of us came to Walla Walla. She stayed a few nights here. It was awesome. While still in… Continue

HAMLET WAS GOOD

It's really good to be back as school. I love all my professors so far and omg I just wanna go to class. I really miss everyone so hardcore it's crazy. The only bad thing about being back is that I don't have a lot of time to talk to Jon. When I do have the time I'm never alone and it's weird and gonna take some getting used to. I love him so much and over the summer I got used to talking to him all day alone in my room. I miss him all the time, but being with the fools helps to take the edge… Continue

I Steal a Stolen Survey from Christian! Scandalous.

1] Where is your heart?

Well, to be literal, it is planted within my chest. However, the survey obviously means to inquire about my emotions. To be honest, I don't know. Probably with my family. Although I have some other, less pleasant conjectures.

2] Perfect relationship?

Both parties are attracted towards, interested in, honest with, and respectful of each other.

3] Which is more romantic: flowers or candy?

This probably isn't applicable to me. However,… Continue

There's no seventh question. WTF.

Thanks, Christian.

1] Where is your heart?

In my chest? Yeah. Pretty sure it's there.

2] Perfect relationship?

We trust each other, we know everything about each other, and we love every part (ge' yar maind atta duh guttar, arr!) of one another completely.

3] Which is more romantic: flowers or candy?

Humm...I like dandelions. I take that 'needy for a weedy shy guy' lyric literally.

4] Are you wearing any jewelry?

Hey! Yes I am! I… Continue

Thank you, John and Hank - and goodbye, Mitch and Nick

I'm not entirely sure what the point of this blog is - it's part a dedication to Mitch and Nick, and part a thank you note to John and Hank. I'm sorry if I ramble. If you make it through this, I'm extremely appreciative.

I head back to school (eleventh grade this year - yikes) on Tuesday. This past Friday, my oldest brother Mitch moved away. And this upcoming Monday, my other brother Nick will be going away to University. One is 21, and the other is only a couple months shy of 19.… Continue

Why all the great ones died young.

I've wondered why for so long. I thinks its because Humans are rather mute to their own existence, and when there is one who can feel this tumultuous epoch they are destroyed. They drink too fully from their births and are ushered to a greater plateau in which they might find the peace they search so voraciously for.

Or its because being an alcoholic/clinically insane isn't good for your health.

In the end, I believe its only the ones who can truly recognize life that can… Continue
