Nerdy shit I've done in the past 6 months or so.

  • Went to The Hunger Games on what was essentially opening night, with a themed Mockingjay t-shirt (thank you Megan)
    • Some middle school doods were totes jeal
  • Rewatched all of season/book 1 and most of 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender
    • Still working through them
    • Started watching the Korra spin-off
    • M. Night if you touch anything in this series ever again I will end you
  • Pre-ordered to my Kindle the second book in a YA dystopian series that is not The Hunger Games
    • The book (Insurgent) arrived at roughly 12:30 AM 
    • I read the whole thing in one night
    • This was during finals period
  • Rewatched The Two Towers and Return of the King (extended editions)
    • I'm working on perfecting my Gollum voice, it's basically the sexiest thing ever
      • Anytime the Boy says something sassy I've started responding with "leave now, and never come BACK" and/or "not listening"
  • While not having HBO, still manage to be up to date on Game of Thrones
    • Oh yeah that's right because I read the books, homes
    • Although I can respect the hell out of the no spoilers deal, because these books are long/not well known/yes they take time, it kinda makes me laugh that people are all angsty about not spoiling plot points that were published starting in 1996.  
      • F'reals all us reader kids lol'ed a little bit about y'all freaking out over Ned: still heartbreaking, but we knew it was coming o hai schadenfreude 
    • Also Arrested Westeros (GoT and Arrested Development mashup) is my favoritest thing in the whole wide world now
  • Purchased a ticket to go see the wonderful people responsible for A Very Potter Musical on Tuesday of this week
    • Yes I bought a single ticket
    • Yes I will probably have to go straight from work
    • Yes they've made several other online musicals and I've watched them all
    • No I do not give a single f***
      • In terms that normal people may recognize, Blaine from Glee was a founding member and played Harry
  • Tutored a kid in biology
    • They cover evolutionary bio
    • I think I scared him because I got all excited
  • Guys my book collection/speed at which I cover them is legit unacceptable
    • I've reread every Terry Pratchett book I have at my apartment
      • If you read his stuff and I don't yet know this about you can we chat plz
    • Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, Gene Wolfe, N.K. Jemesin be authors of good sci-fi/fantasy nerdy shiz
    • Also read Never Let Me Go and Atonement and I'm kinda sad and borderline ruined but in the best possible way
Guys if you are my friends/dating me please continue to do so despite all this I'M SO SORRY

  1. Apparently, you posted this about a minute ago... I can't sleep. I read this, and realized THIS IS WHY WE ARE FRIENDS!!

    1. WORD on the Hunger Games. We need to discuss.
    2 a. What was the first book? Sounds familiar...
    2 b. YOU HAVE TO READ 'The Alchemyst' & the rest of the series- I'm speeding through book 2: The Sorceress, and I have the teacher equivalent of finals (grading & report cards) going on right now..
    3. HALLAH! (wait, that's bread... anyhoo, picture me saying "holler" like an annoying preppy white girl)- Caroline was watching the whole LoTR trilogy during my LAST round of report cards & I kept procrastinating by sneaking down & watching with her.
    4. Have not seen Game of Thrones- what is it? :)
    5. OMG SERIOUSLY??? WHAT IS DE PLAY?! (listens to 'Granger Danger'...)
    6. Tutored a kid in history, and honestly thought about asking to borrow the book because for the first time I found myself interested & wanting to know more about US history over the past 100 years...
    7. Read about 10 books in the past month, while working at least 12 hour days... kept sneaking away from a party I WAS HOSTING for my best friend because I needed a break from people and wanted to keep reading my book...

    IN CONCLUSION:
    1. I am not going to bed soon. Way too hyper.
    B. I miss you!
    III. We should hang out this summer!!!!!

  2. I'm going to automatically agree with any sentence that starts with "M. Night if you" and ends with "I will end you" regardless of the words in between.
