Another thing I am a total nerd about is... (drum roll drum roll) Theatre. Anything to do with theatre and acting I love, love, love. That also means I am a bit of a nerd on New York, Los Angeles, and the like.We shall focus on New York today. I was talking to my friend Victoria the other day about a trip I'm taking to New York City with my theatre teacher and her students next summer. She, of course, referred to NY as "The Big Apple." Why is it called The Big Apple? This thing just kept bugging me and bugging me and I figured, hey, my friends over here are smart, maybe they can help me. So, I want you to do some research. Because I am so lazy, I would like you to find out why NY is called "The Big Apple." Don't know? Give me your theories! It'll be fun! Can you do that for me? Okay, thanks!
As always, DFTBA!

Bleh...
I was in a nice and deep sleep... a few hours ago. How this managed to happen is beneath me. Early signs of insomnia kicking in, anyone? As this blog title states... bleh! Goodnight all. Have sweet dreams.

How am I Nerdy?
So, this blog is called "The Chronicles of A Nerdy Girl," isn't it? How am I nerdy? How do I prove to the likes of you that my blog is fit to be called "The Chronicles of A Nerdy Girl?" Well, I just might tell you. In fact, I will. We will separate this little deal into categories of things people might consider to be quintessentially "nerdy." First off,
MUSIC:
First and foremost, you people must understand that I bleed indie out of the yin-yang. I hadn't always been like this until recently, when I found my "calling" so to speak. (More on that later...) I've discovered that indie music is really the shiz. I mean, it's unknown, so you feel like you're sharing something with a very small group of people. That only you and these people will ever understand the majesty and pure good that is indie. Now, when I say indie, I'm more on the "girly" edge of it. Indie music that interests me is Neutral Milk Hotel, Kimya Dawson, Belle and Sebastian, and the like.
Second of all, I have a question: Is it sad that my top three favorite groups/singers are all from Youtube? These people would be Charlie McDonell, ALL CAPS, and Ministry of Magic. Like I said before, I only discovered the mysticalness of Youtube and it's power when my "calling" came. I have been glued to the computer by the hip since I have discovered these geniuses.
BOOKS:
I am a book nerd! I am a book nerd in the sense that I love knowing everything I can about the book I'm reading. You know, the inside story, the characters' stories, all of that. I have followed the seemingly "popular" teen books series. Harry Potter, (obviously) Twilight, (Which I realize is horrid now... thank you Nerimon for opening up my eyes.) and The Hunger Games. I am such a nerd on The Hunger Games that I have downloaded all of Mockingjay.net's podcasts, (look them up!) and I insist on reading The Hunger Games to my sister outloud so she can "truly experience" the feeling of the book. I know... nerd.
Also, my favorite author is John Green. The man is a genius, a magical writer. Although my friend still consistently argues with me that Douglas Adams is a much better writer... shame on him.
TELEVISION:
Doctor. Who. Is. The. Shiz. That's all I'm going to say on that subject.
INTERNET/OTHER:
I love Yotube so, so, so, so much. As you probably might have guessed by now, my "calling" was the calling of the Vlogbrothers. A while ago, I had read "An Abundance of Katherines." Having not known the world that John Green was a part of, I didn't really think to buy his other books. But then there was Kaleb Nation. I found out about Kaleb Nation through The Twilight Guy, he led my to Robyn Schneider, and Robyn led me to Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I bought this book thinking it was going to be amazing. It was. Although, before I opened it, I found a napkin inside that read the following: "Do you know what DFTBA stands for? If not, go to www.youtube.com/vlogbrothers." So, like the little human I am, I became curious and looked it up, found the Vlogbrothers, and fell in love. I now watch many Nerdfighter Youtubers (Or Nerdtubers, as I affectionatly call them.) such as Wheezy Waiter,(Craig Benzine) Charlieissocoollike,(Charlie McDonell) Italktosnakes, (Kristina Horner) and Luke Conard. I love every bit of it. Knowing that I am a part of a community focused on the greater good, while being made of pure awesome, just makes me so happy every single day.
As for other, as you can see I am a deep believer in the Oxford Comma. The comma goes after and, no matter what you say! I also have a real deep fascination with World War II. The Book Thief, anyone?
DFTBA!

Hello Cakes!
Welcome to my lair... whoever you are. I'm just going to put something straight out here. I am not like other people. I hope you know this, if you're listening. This won't be your typical teenage girl blog, so don't expect it to be. I want a way to get my opinions out there (and follow all my favorite Nerdfighters.) with the blog. Expect some random rambles, inside jokes, and just pure nerd craziness! This will chronicle my life as a nerdy girl, and what a nerdy girl like me does. Enter if you dare and get ready... set... go!
Adios Cakes! Hope you like me!
