I’m a little concerned that Ian hasn’t posted yet, but hopefully he’ll have some stuff up eventually? Or maybe he just has no internet access (didn’t he say he needed someone to cover for him this week?). Needless to say I feel a little bit intimidated by the responsibility of being the sole representer of NerdU’s weekend update BUT I WILL STAND STRONG IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY.
I almost wrote “diversity” there, that would have been a rather embarrassing mix-up. Anywho.
I am back from England! Sadly there is no picspam as such yet, there is a small picpuddle in our flickr photostream. I will link to the picflood most likely in next week’s update, when I’m done changing the monstrous pictures so that they can actually fit on the internet.
The answers to the questions I didn’t get to in the video: Best family vacation.. I’ve had about five million (ok well not that much, but I’ve been travelling since I was a toddler which is a little awkward when my parents are like “Remember when we went to Germany? Oh oh nevermind, you were 2.” Italy was pretty fantastic though.
Pirates V. Ninjas, if you mean who would win in a fight, I’m all for ninjas. I just think ninjas are probably a lot more efficient at the whole combat thing seeing as that is what they do by default. And pirates are defaulted for looting and pillaging. So if it was a looting and pillaging contest, then pirates, totally. Otherwise, ninjas*.
*=excluding of course Captain Jack Sparrow because he is the hero and therefore would survive any attack, ninjas or no.
My favourite glue.. is.. um.. elmer’s. Cause it’s the only kind I have. ![]()
ohmigod. picasso and raspberries. HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE. That’s all I really care about though.
OH MAN. I forgot the baby pictures, they will be coming eventually, I promise, I never put off an opportunity to show off the baby picture of me in a dryer.
Random Fact of the Sunday: “Bug” is actually a scientific word regarding an insect that can suck.
OH. And in College news, I got the name of my roommate on Wednesday when I came back!
Unfortunately she doesn’t have a facebook that I can see and she hasn’t replied to my email yet but I am TOO SCARED to call her for now….so I ended up googling her (that’s embarrassing, but then when your roomie’s got a name that doesn’t ping ANYTHING on facebook, you figure that it will be fairly easy to find who you’re looking for). And she is the “historian” of her NHS, or was. I found that more comforting than anything else, seeing as I was dreading someone much more hyped up about… say, shopping. Or something less nerdfighterly.
I think I forgot something else in this post (surprise surprise), but it’s 6:30 and I figure it’s time to publish the darn blog!
You’ll hear from me next week anyway.

Those are the best oven mits ever! I feel that Emily and I have much in common relating to wanting to start musical households. I can make musical soup but I will try to make musical brownies, although less awesome because of my lack of oven mits.
(I saved this comment from before when I watched your video, haha)
I reread Ian’s last Saturday post and there was nothing about him not being around. Real life probably caught up with him. Oh well…
Oh, which reminds me - Ian, if you read the comments (lol), you should post on Monday of this week. If you have time. Don’t want to pressure you……… >>;;
Yes for roommates! I think that maybe when we get to school we should all introduce our roommates (if they are agreeable - mine is, I think… lol). I wish you luck in the roommate department.

“Alright, I apologize in advance, but I assumed that I would have internet up here. Unfortunately, I will not have a video until next week, and I will need someone to cover for me next saturday.”
This is the first little paragraph from Ian’s post for last Saturday just thought you all should know that he did say he was going to need a substitute.

Oh gosh I feel like a terrible person - I read that more than a few times and MISSED IT. I swear. Well, now I feel mean. Sorry for accusations, lol. Does anyone want to post today? Nothing special… maybe a youtube video they found interesting. I dunno…
