The Freak-Out Before the Total Obssession

    If you know me at all-whether in real life, or just from reading my blogs-you know that I am a nerd. I love to read, and I love nerdy movies and stuff like that (just not Star Trek. Nope!).

See, even he thinks Star Wars is better!

And you also know that I frequently get obsessed with things. My first major obsession was Star Wars (and I'm still obsessed), and then I got into The Lord of the Rings. And books, well I've been obsessed with reading ever since I was really little.
    But now, I have been following/liking a lot of nerdy Facebook pages (Cupcakes to Lightsabers is an awesome one, and don't forget to like mine, When You Compare Your Life to Your Fandoms...) that have been posting a lot of Doctor Who references. So that, and the fact that some of my friends are into it, has made me interested. I mean, an awesome time-travel show from Britain? Who doesn't want to watch it? So I quickly decided that I need to start watching. Now, this will be quite difficult for two reasons. 1.) It is already in the 7th season or something like that and 2.) I don't watch much TV.
   But nevertheless, I made plans to start, and Saturday I will begin watching it. (JUST TWO DAYS AWAY!!!) As you can probably tell, I can't wait. Another fandom to add to my list, another nerd thing to obsess over. :D And I will finally understand all those references on Facebook! Yay!
So Her Universe is not just a way to get Star Wars stuff anymore...the have Doctor Who stuff, too. And I just found out that Hot Topic has awesome nerdy stuff, including Her Universe's DW stuff.
    So now, you now...I am a Star Wars fan, a LOTR fan, a book nerd, and soon I will be a Whovian! So it is very likely that next time I post here, I will be totally obsessed...more than I am right now. Don't ask how I can be obsessed if I haven't seen it, I just am :P

And I am not ashamed of my nerdy-ness:

If you do have a problem, then too bad, 'cause I don't care what you think of me...

Good advice! Hopefully some day I will be able to completely be my true nerdy self without any shame...


Also, tomorrow, I will be finishing my week of costuming and I will be a Ravenclaw Quidditch Seeker...I am almost done with my gloves...I will try to post pictures sometime...And I will hopefully doing some more music video posts soon (do you guys enjoy those?)

Lastly, there is apparently a tumblr thing that has pictures called "Nerd Girl Problems" (I don't have a tumblr in case you were wondering...i don't even really know what it is...). Would you guys be interested if I made a page on this blog completely deticated to listing all 450+ Nerd Girl Problems? Some of them are hilarious and totally true, and I really want to share them all with you guys...

The Hobbit, Scarves, Pictures, and Nerd Week


First, I saw the Hobbit!!! It was soo good!!! I can't wait to see the next one. An Unexpected Journey was really amazing, and they made so much out of way less than half of the book. The end was a major cliff-hanger (for me at least). The only problem that I really had with the movie, though was the troll king. I thought that his character really didn't fit in the story very well.


And, next, I have finished two scarves...nerdy ones, too! :D
The first: 

The second:

Both together:

My second snitch: ♥

Funny pictures:




Finally, I am doing a nerd week next week. it's not an official nerd week, so don't worry about having to participate, but I am going to dress up as a fictional character every day.

Monday: Ahsoka Tano
Tuesday: Hermione Granger
Wednesday: ? (any ideas?)
Thursday: a cowgirl...I'll find some character to be...
Friday: Ravenclaw Quidditch seeker


Wednesday, I have no idea what to do, so ideas are welcome.


I hope you are all not mad at me for not posting in a while...for a long time, I couldn't post pictures for some odd reason...but all is well....


Always♥

What to expect in the near future...

Okay, so Blogger is being evil right now, and I'm really sorry that I have not been posting. Anytime I try to add a picture, it won't let me do anything else. And when I went to put up pictures of my scarves, it still wouldn't let me, even though I did it a different way. So, you will have to wait. I'm so sorry :'(

But here is a list of post to look forward to:
-My scarves (I'll post pictures and tell you about them)
-Review of Keeper of the Lost Cities
-The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (I saw it a week ago :) )
-Review of Unstoppable
-More books
and more...

And now, before I end this post, I just want to thank you all for following my blog, and commenting on my posts. It really means a lot. Most of you I have never met in real life, but you still read my blog and comment. Thank you so much.

New Year: 2013

Well, first, it's good to see that you all survived 2012 and didn't die when the world didn't end on 21st December!
And now, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!



Do anything cool on New Year's Eve? I spent the night with friends, and at midnight, we ran around outside banging pots...it was so much fun!

Here are some highlights of 2012:

Okay, yes, I did read a TON of other books, and I'm sure that there were lots more amazing ones, but I can't remember any more right now...if I do, I'll come back and write them here...

Now, I guess I'm supposed to share my resolutions with you...so here they are:
-Finish the scarf I just started tonight...I'll post pictures when I do, I'm sure you guys will love it...

    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

(Wish me luck on that one...)
-Finish my plans for my dream house. I'll post more about this some other time...
-Get more into my fandoms than I already am
-Make costumes so I can join the Rebel Legion and the 501st Legion

The best gifts I got this year:
Birthday:
Photo: Look what came in the mail today! I love it :D
Yeah, go ahead and be jealous of my snitch...I know you are...
It's a pendant watch, and I absolutely LOVE it!!!

Christmas:
my camera. (It's pink/red. The box says red, but in certain light, it's pink, so I say it's pink.)



Something I want to share with you (this is partly for you, Solace...): in the Sci-Fi magazine I looked at int he store today, they had a list of 10 fantasy figures/heroes they wanted to highlight. Legolas was one. At the bottom of the description of his awesomeness, it said that you can use Legolas' special power to defeat your opponents. Just show them this song, and they will leave you alone, or do whatever you want them to do:


And I thank you all for being nice, devoted followers, friends, and fellow fans and readers!
