<p>Ping, hamster. I think it had four legs…Might have been missing one near the end of his short yet fulfilling life. </p>
<p>Never have I ever played the bagpipes.</p>
<p>Omg guys, I just posted that on the wrong thread. Sorry!</p>
<p>That was embarrassing. </p>
<p>On the topic of embarrassing, would anyone like to share some stories? Hey, it’s the Internet. College CONFIDENTIAL, ey?</p>
<p>No one?</p>
<p>Bump</p>
<p>Are any of you nerdfighters? I would love it if other people in my graduating class were! :)</p>
<p>@TryToFindMe - The author is Chris Colfer, and I’m a nerdfighter, too!</p>
<p>YAY! 
And I saw Chris interviewed on The View yesterday. </p>
<p>How many of John Green’s books have you read. I have only had time to read TFIOS but Will Grayson, Will Grayson is next!</p>
<p>Yes, I’m a nerd fighter too!! Only read tfios an looking for Alaska. He is so talented. “swoon” I would really like to meet them one day. Do any of you watch crash course?</p>
<p>Sometimes, but I mostly watch vlogbrothers and nerimon. It makes sense that we would be nerdfighters, because we are on a forum talking about school and other “nerdy” things in the summer, when we do not have to! Also, I will be reading An Abundance of Katherines.</p>
<p>An Abundance of Katherines is AMAZING! Will Grayson, Will Grayson is one of my absolute favorite books of all time! I’m going to read The Fault in Our Stars next.</p>
<p>If you watch nerimon, then you must watch itswaypastmybedtime aka Carrie hope fletcher?</p>
<p>I’ve read all of his books except for An Abundance. I tried but I just couldn’t get into it.</p>
<p>I have no idea what you guys are talking about haha. I’ve heard all about John Green and his nerdfighters but I guess I never really got into it.</p>
<p>Did you guys see John’s new video “Hitler and Sex”?</p>
<p>Yes I did. I couldn’t help but cringe a little each time he said sex. Probably had something to do with my parents being two feet away. I dare say they would not approve. Who cares?</p>
<p>I watched it, and the jingle was stuck in my head for the rest of the day. I kept catching myself singing “dum dum dum dum dum dum HITLER AND SEX” for the rest of the day. :|</p>
<p>What is a Nerdfighter? Just wondering. </p>
<p>Also, I’ve notice that many of you are taking 4 or more honors class next year. That is the same for me but my teachers said it wasn’t a good idea because I wouldn’t have a social life. Anyone else hear something like this?</p>
<p>Teachers have to teach to the average. If you think you can do it, go for it. However, I would ask some older friends or siblings about what experience they have had in your situation to be sure. </p>
<p>Nerdfighters is the collective name for people who watch/read or pretty much consume any media created by the vlogbrothers, Hank and John Green. John is a pretty famous writer. By pretty famous I mean New York Times Bestseller List famous. And Hank is awesome too. They pretty much created the idea of vidcon. If you don’t know what vidcon is, I’m sorry to inform you that you have been living under a rock your whole life. And yes, I am obsessed.</p>
<p>^ I couldn’t have said it better myself! :)</p>
<p>@CapreDiem my teachers are telling me to expect a lot more work this year but other than that they don’t really try to discourage us. Like mdsquared said, you are the best judge of your abilities. If you think you can do it, do it.</p>
