Hey Nerdfighteria!

I want to hear from YOU! I have a channel on YouTube that I want to use to talk about different nerdy things and maybe learn more about different books, music, and movies. If you have any suggestions, PLEASE comment below. I appreciate it!

Here's the link to my channel. You can check out my other videos, like them, comment, subscribe, whatever you want. :) …

before you start reading let me say one small thing, I wrote this for class a few months back. it was my project for the great gatsby. pardon the bad grammar and punctuation, its only a first draft and I'm still in high school :p

PS I really like commas, not sure why.

Yay Project for Awesome! This is my first time participating as a vlogger, and if you could take the time to watch, I'd really appreciate it. Being in music programs has shaped much of my life, which is why for this year's video, I talk about VH1's Save the Music Foundation.

Hello everyone! 

It's been far too long since I made a blog post and I do apolgize about that. I won't go into detail as to why because you know what? We have far more important business to talk about and that is PROJECT FOR AWESOME! (Yes, I totally wrote that in all caps to bring the attention to those words. I also didn't prepare this post so let's see how this goes.)

Anyways, it's that time of year again people! It's that time in…

I just finished Looking For Alaska for the second time in my life. The first time I read it I was in seventh grade and didn't like it all that much. Now, 6 years later, I am a nerdfighter and I have read all of John Green's books. The second time reading Looking for Alaska was definitely more impressionable than the first time. It meant a lot more to me. I am so glad that I gave it a second chance and that I read all of John's books even though I didn't like the first one I had read.  

Fellow nerdfighter Eliose Pearson has started an awesome project called the Project for Fiction (punning on Vlogbrothers' Project for Awesome.) The main point of the Project for Fiction is to get together a group of young writers to collaborate on an awesome multi chapter piece of fiction.

I'm super exited about it and can't wait to get to work on it. If any one is interested, use the link bellow.



P.S. I will also be posting this on…

Hi Ning, and youtube!

I'm looking for some resources, mainly skills that I myself haven't got!

Firstly, I am looking for someone with some photoshopskills to help me design a cover for the youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/NonSparkly) that I am running! If you are interested in giving me a few hours of your precious time, let me know at my email below!

Secondly! I need someone to help me…

A large number of doctors are engaging in Medicare overbilling, according to a recently-released report. Billions are estimated to be lost annually to doctors posting claims for more expensive treatment than is required or possibly delivered. Source for this article:

More than $11 billion lost to alleged Medicare overbilling…

So I recently bought Looking for Alaska, when I was on vacation in Glasgow.

I'd meant to read it for years.

And I didn't start reading until I was back home.

And as I opened the book, out fell this letter.

And here's what it said:…

Yes, I got around to reading this book at last!  I think it is one of the first books I added to my to-read list on goodreads when I first joined over a year ago... and it's never been available in the library when I go.  Until last week.  

I don't know what I was expecting, but it was not this.  The way the beginning is written it seems almost like a memoir--so realistic and logical, and even when something crazy happens it's immediately explained with the words "psychotic…

Rush Limbaugh, famed for his over the top conservatism and degradation of women, has started a page on Facebook. This page is known as "Rush Babes for America," and it is "a Facebook Page dedicated to the millions of conservative women who know what they believe in: family, American Values, and not being told by Faux Feminist Groups how to think."

If your thoughts are like mine, you would have yelled at the screen, "and being told what you believe are true…

So, at the beginning of this semester, I wrote a blog about my first reactions to my classes. I am now going to give you my final reactions. Last semester, I did this in vlog form and I didn't like it as much, so I'm switching it back to blog. Yay! Here we go.

"British Lit to 1660: I think this will be a fun class. As the name states, we'll be looking at early British literature. I had a class like this for my senior english class, but I think it will be more informative on the…

Hi there,

So today I wanted to review a book that I just finished today: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar…

Is it funny that the last book I read by John Green is the first book he wrote?  There are so many quotes everywhere ("everywhere" = tumblr) and although I was always careful to skip over those posts, I'm still amazed that I remained spoiler-less.  Amazed and gratified.

Because I've heard/seen several people say that Looking for Alaska has almost the same plot as Paper Towns, which as you know was my favourite JG book until The Fault In Our Stars.…
