New Nerdfighter

There is a time in life when you will begin to meet/interact with a string of people who are both idiosyncratic and absolutely glorious in nature. Today was one of those day. I clicked on a YouTube video and found myself amidst the imaginative and intelligent worlds' of John and Hank Green. There are few people I have met so far who can make you feel like you are apart of a genuine intellectual discussion without lacking vivacity. This can probably be attributed to the fact that I am in high… Continue

Avant garde

Hello fellow nerdfighters! I am new here so I thought I'd tell you a bit about myself.



The first thing you should know about me is that I do not typically like things that are mainstream, I have more unusual interests. I like books like My Name is Mina and The Wayside. My favorite movies are Moonrise Kingdom and City Island. I like indie bands, like Hey Ocean and Bat for Lashes.



The second thing you should know about me is that I am a wanderer, both mentally and… Continue

New to this.

Well, I've been watching vlogbrothers' videos for a while now and just recently decided to subscribe (not entirely sure why I wasn't to begin with); and though it took a bit longer, I finally joined here. It took a while because joining any new social networking sort of site makes me a bit nervous and I'm not the best at socializing even on the internet. I'm not sure if others have this problem, but it irritates me that I can't seem to get over the nerves that come with joining a new…

An Introduction

So, hello...I suppose. Haha... Right, so I'm just some twelve year old geek, and I have no clue how to really make a blog. Just give me some time, okay? I'll try to get the hang of things, but for now...

Welcome to my TECHNICAL blog that will always have TECHNICAL difficulties! :) I am Laurie, and I do believe my life is sort of strange. At least, I hope so, so it's…

Hello Nerdfighters!/Noisy, Busy Street

Hello Nerdfighters! My name is Yuko (musickitten101) and I've decided to do some blogging here since the collaborative Nerdfighters blog that I'm doing with the Nerdfighters from Our Pants got closed down. I don't know when it will go back up, but in the meantime, I'll be doing some stuff here. 

How are you spending the holiday season? Right now I am…

The world didn't end so here I am

Hello Internet it is Saturday, the day after the end of the world, and I told myself if the world didn't end I would try something new and exciting and boundary pushing for you know me.

So here I am in Nerdfighteria and very nervous and I don't totally know why maybe it's because I don't feel awesome enough to be here but hey sometimes you need to try something new and strange.

It would probably be in good form to inform you a bit about who I am but those are always such hard…

1: The epic introduction

So, in an attempt to cleanse my body of the wretched feeling of boredom, I am going to try to blog. I haven't really 'blogged' before, so I'm not sure if there's some magic dust you must first sprinkle over yourself to make your posts good. I don't really know where to start, so I guess I'll just talk about myself.

  • I am nearly 14 years old, my birthday is on the 21st! 
  • I have been a nerdfighter since 2008, so that's pretty exciting.
  • I have a giant heart for…

Trying to Sleep

So it is about midnight right now and I've been trying to sleep since 10 but, obviously, that isn't working. I think the problem is that I have a combination on the songs Wide Awake and Somebody That I Used To Know stuck in my head on an endless loop for some unknown reason. I've already tried the basic techniques of imagining the song being a tree and having my mind-lumberjack cut down the tree then put it through a tree shredder and scatter the piece across my mind to help new and more…

My First Attempt (Yeah... I hope to get better with titles)

Hello fellow nerdfighters! 

Okay guys, this is my first ever attempt at blogging so bear with me! So i figure that before I start going on random rants and such I should at least introduce myself to anyone out there who happens to be reading this..

I'm just finishing up my last year of high school, and next year I will be studying criminology (potentially with psychology as a double major) in university. I work at Tim Hortons (a quick place to stop for coffee, cold drinks and…

Bonjour

Hello nerdfighters,

I recently discovered Hank and John on YouTube and am working my way through their videos. In the meantime I thought I would join this thriving community. I always knew I was a nerd (I'm a geek too, by my definitions anyway) but I never realized that by adding '~fighter' my entire body would turn to awesome. The transformation process has been incredible.

P.S. I'm not French, but when stuck for random words, 'bonjour' comes up more often than it has any…

talking about myself in the third person

Writing the first post of a new blog is notoriously difficult, and so, because I've got a chapter of my book to write, and I'm struggling to come up with anything not related to it, I'll just copy-and-paste an entry from my tumblr which I think will serve as a decent introduction to who I am and where I'm at in my life right now.

Until my next post, DFTBA!

In my memory, a 13-year-old…

New Here

Hello fellow Nerdfighters!

My name is Liz. I'm 23 and I currently work as a waitress at an Indian restaurant, but I really want to be a lighting designer for a theatre or a bassist in a band. So I'm working towards that.

I have seen John and Hank Green's videos throughout my college life, but it wasn't until recently that I've been watching the videos repeatedly. I currently love watching HankGames, and…

The 2am Project | Graveyards and Their Visitors

This is the beginning of a story story I wrote a few nights ago. I don't know how it ends. Or if it ends. The characters don't have names. It's not edited. It's just a story. I think it's kind of morbid. Enjoy.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

You never really know what to expect in a graveyard. Sure, there’s always the usual crumbling headstone, the moldering ornamental flowers left by a guilt-ridden loved one, or some anonymous do-gooder. There’s…

{First entry} Introduction & rage on Belgian politics

Hello sweeties,

Where I live, and that's in a tiny European country called Belgium (yes, famous for its beer and waffles & Brussel sprouts), it's half past midnight and I am totally not ready to go to bed (because then I'll get up earlier and have to start studying sooner & I hate studying, especially because it's the last exam and I lost my motivation sometime before the first ;B )



So yeah, I'm in my 3rd Bachelor year at the University of Antwerp, where I…

Introducing myself

My first ever videoblog, gasp! I have no clue what I'm doing, if you have any tips or suggestions I'd like to hear them!

A New Beginning.

Hey all! Eric here (Gooby for others!).

This will hopefully be the first blog of many! I'm kind of new to this and that will be pretty evident in the first few blogs as I begin to remember my HTML class I took way back 7 years ago in college. 

 

I guess this first blog should talk a little bit about myself (give you a taste) and then give you all some ideas of what I'd like to talk about in the next posts and let you decide what should come next.

 

I'd…

Rewriting history

What makes a fact a fact? How is knowledge created?  Can something we know to be true not  necessarily be “correct”. Popular belief makes something to be "factual or correct" however it can actually be incorrect. An example of this could be the term 'survival of the fittest' which is attributed to Charles Darwin when in actual fact Herbert Spencer originally coined the term. But if a survey was concluded on laymen asking who… Continue

Hello, there's a boggart living downstairs. Do you have book suggestions?

Hello NF,

I am new to this community of nerdlicious people. I hope you are well today.

Today marks the third day of the downstairs corner neighbor thumping something heavy in their apartment. It is my belief that this woman is a witch and has a boggart sealed away in her wardrobe. At first I thought perhaps she was an inventor, constructing a behemoth machine to do her evil bidding…and make her breakfast, tidy up, you know general evil housekeeping. But if this was the case I…

HI!!!!!

So uh... Hi.

 

I've been watching John and Hank's videos since February I think... that's what I put when it asked me.  And now I subscribe to so many vloggers that I don't have time to watch all their videos during the week and save a lot of them for weekends.  

 

I might not post that much right away, I'm still trying to get the hang of this place.  

 

This is sort of a disjointed introduction sort of post.  Sort of.
