The Nerdy Ninja Blog: 12.08

Found this on both John Green and Charlie's blogs.

1. What's your name?
Laura Nicole. Pronounced "Lor-ah Neh-Coal"

2. What is your favorite thing to wear?
Knee socks of the argyle variety.

3. Last thing you ate?
A left over pasta dish that I made two nights ago for dinner. It was DELISH.

4. One place you will NEVER eat at?
Some kind of restaurant that only serves meat. I'm not sure if those exist but I would starve if I had to go to one of those places.

5. I say Shotgun, you say:
DAMMIT!

6. Last person you hugged?
Um. Possibly Alan. Or maybe Mike. I'm not sure. I think it was Alan. I hugged a lot of people at the staff Christmas party yesterday. More than I usually do since I have a fairly strict No-Hugging-Or-Touching Policy*.

7. Does anyone you know wanna date you?
I've heard of a couple people that I know who like-like me but the question really is "do I want to date any of THEM?"

8. Would you date anyone you met online?
Yeah, maybe. I mean it really depends on the person.

9. Name something you like physically about yourself:
My eye color. It's pretty jokes.

10. The last place you went out to dinner to?
I had dinner at the theater last night. Does that count?

11. Who is your best friend?
Jenny and Joe. That's right. I've got TWO best friends!

12. What time of the day is it?
Late afternoon.

13. Who/What made you angry today?
Anyone whom I encountered before I had coffee this morning.

14. Baseball or Football?
Football. I prefer the ENGLISH version of the word football, but if we're talking the North American meaning, it's still the same answer.

15. Ever gone skinny dipping?
I have not. Because I am neither cool or exciting.

16. Favorite type of Food?
The homemade kind.

17. Favorite holiday:
Summer. Because there's no snow. And I hate snow.

18. Do you download music:
Yes. I mostly download stuff legally, though. But if I'm not sure about a band, and I can't tell from the 30 second sample I hear on iTunes, then I'll get it illegally. But if I like it, then FO SHIZZLE I will buy it.

19. Do you care if your socks are dirty?
Yes. I can't stand to wear sweaty, probably smelly, dirty socks.

20. Opinion of Chinese symbol tattoos?
Cliché.

21. Would you date the person who posted this?
Well, I grabbed this off of Charlie's blog, and since he has a lovely accent, seems to be a pretty nice guy, and is quite good looking, I might, yeah. However, there is an age gap. And a country gap. So...

22. Has anyone ever sang or played for you personally?
Yes. And I usually do that for other people as well.

23. Do you love anyone?
I love lots of people, but I'm not IN love with anyone, if that's what you're getting at.

24. Are colored contact lenses sexy?
I think they look weird. My friend Joe got blue ones a while ago - he's stopped wearing them now so I can say this - and they looked strange. I mean, Joe has olive skin, REALLY dark hair and naturally REALLY dark brown eyes so the blue looked super unnatural on him. I mean seriously, what Lebanese guy has BLUE eyes?
So no. I prefer real colored eyes.

25. Have you ever bungee jumped?
Nope. Though it looks like fun but I would probably only do it if I were dying of some terminal disease as part of my Bucket List.

26. Have you ever gone white-water rafting?
No I have not and I do not intend to.

27. Has anyone ten years older than you ever hit on you?
*Shudder* Yes. Also, "Has anyone twenty years older than you ever hit on you?" *Shudder*. Yes.

28. How many pets do you have?
I used to have a turtle but he died last year. But I have a fish named Triton and he's amazing.

29. Have you met a real redneck?
Yes, while driving down to Florida, we stopped in Kentucky.

30. How is the weather right now?
Pretty crappy. All snowy and cloudy and gross.

31. What are you listening to right now?
My parents talking in the background and I always enjoy the click that the keyboard makes when I type. I was listening to Wade Johnston earlier from his MySpace page.

32. What is your current favorite song?
Uh...it's a several-way-tie between "Gimme Some Sugar" by Wade Johnston, "Into the Sunshine" by Julia Nunes, "Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse, "Spotlight (Twilight Mix)" by Mutemath and "That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed)" by Panic at the Disco. I'm sure when I go back and re-read this, this list will have changed drastically.

33. What was the last movie you watched?
Twilight last night for the fourth time though I didn't watch all of it because it was 5 am and I wanted to go to sleep.

34. Do you wear contacts?
No. However, I've been told that I should invest in some because I have nice eyes. Thanks, Erik.

The theater where I work.

None.

39. What's one thing you've learned this year?
That I probably should have gone into library studies instead of Digital Media but I like Digital Media too much to give it up.

48. Who would you like to see right now?
I would like to see the darkness and the side of my pillow. Because I am tired. And only want to sleep more.

Butter AND salted. With paprika.

Generally speaking, people. But I like John Green's answer for this one: "The general inability we all have to understand that what bugs us about other people is very often what bugs other people about us."

*The No-Hugging-Or-Touching Policy states that I will not hug a person unless a) they are family; b) they hug me first and I feel bad not reciprocating; c) they are sad and need one; d) they are SUPER HAPPY about something and need one; e) I have not seen the person in a long time. Otherwise I am a completely prickly cactus-person. This is just an unfortunate fact about me. I am half-cactus and half-person.

Here's what the official website has to say about the Project for Awesome:

Every year, YouTube's Community takes over YouTube for a day...and instead of being stupid or funny or informative...we promote charities. Just one day a year...we'll get back to being silly tomorrow.

The Project for Awesome really is like a youtube-wide party. People are all over the place, commenting on videos, uploading, watching, hanging out, helping out and generally being mischievous. I honestly can’t wait, and I hope you’ll be a part of it with us.

But seriously. It's such a fun YouTube event that everyone can get behind since it's all about supporting your favorite charity.

I didn't get to participate last year because I wasn't a NerdFighter back then, but I get to participate this year. I made a video in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and made a donation of $55 dollars to my province's chapter.

You can watch my video where I've embedded it below.

Also check out the following link to a playlist of videos that we're trying to support first so that they get onto the Most Viewed and Most Discussed lists:

So if you see any videos with the following screen shot today:

Make sure that you RATE, FAVORITE and COMMENT the HECK out of it so you can help take over YouTube for today and tomorrow.

DFTBA, NerdFighters! And have a happy P4A day!!!!
