Since i was a little girl i have watched and grown up with star trek, my little brother and i learnt all the words to the beginning sequence, my best friend was even named after one of the characters, in other words i was a massive nerd. In my high school years I was defiantly an outcast, but at the age of 14 i discovered Harajuku fashion and anime, these were my new loves, i spent hours looking at fashion shows and reading blogs about Harajuku. My Friends were not as enthusiastic about…

I wrote a post on my blog stating my utter detestation of the social networking site Facebook. I failed, however, to qualify this hatred so I thought I would write a post about my main gripe with the site. I am talking about depressing status updates.

When I first made an account on Facebook I was one of the first of my peers on there and so it was fairly quiet and uninteresting. But, as time went on, people joined the service and it became a far less…

I don't have a profile picture of me. It is because I don't want people to know what I look like, but not because of privacy. 

If people see a picture of you, they automatically make hundreds of wild assumptions, whether true or untrue. I don't want people to make these assumptions, I want people to know me for who I am, not what I look like. 

For a similar reason, I do not show my age. Again, people judge you for things which simply do not define you. 

I understand why…

Kirby (kirby1 on the tubes) has created an amazing video series called "Everything is a remix". I had to create a profile here to tell other nerdfighters about this epic awesomeness.

He explains cultural evolution, the acts of copying, combining and transforming, the original ideas behind the copyright act etc. It is nedfighter gold, and so intelligently presented.

I get a whole blog, all to my very own self? How awesome! (I hereby vow, pursuant to the Nerdfighter Code Subsection B12, to fill this blog with rampant and unmitigated awesomeness.)

So I want to talk about something awesome that's happened to me this year, my senior year of college: I've stopped being afraid of my peers.

I wasn't ever really afraid of my peers, not in any way that would qualify as legitimate social anxiety or anything. I just tend to be sensitive to…

Hey nerdfighters.

I have this thing where I never have any idea about what to call a blog so I resort to using the title of whatever song is stuck in my head at that moment in time. Meaning that at the moment Nearly Witches by Panic! At The Disco is stuck in my head.

I've not blogged in a couple of days, which is mostly because I've done nothing and anything that's been on my mind goes straight to my personal blog on tumblr (not the one linked, but my secret…

Okay, so the title may make you think I'm crazy because who really wants to get mad over silly things? Well, apparently I do. 

So I started this semester of college like virtually every other typical college student. I went to sports games, enthused over how good or bad our teams were playing, got upset when my hair wasn't just right, was a little concerned over the fact that I didn't pick a major yet, but mostly just upset to be back in class but delighted to see my friends…

In which Hank talks about the project for awesome and how amazing it is that the online video community can come together and do so much good in so little time. Thank you…
