i am a nerdfighter, for sure, but not many people know that or can tell. i just havent really come out of the nerd closet yet.
but what people do know about me is that i am obsessed with the jonas brothers, and when i watched this, i became very excited. because john, and now hank, green know who the jonas brothers are. by the way, im not 11 either. im 11 times 1.45. =]] told you. nerdfighter.

Ha! Me too! I'm kinda like half-out-of-the-nerdy-closet! I want to be more but it's hard when your best friends aren't at the same nerd-level as you.
Also my friend and I are obsessed with the Jonas Brothers! I'm so excited that John and Hank know who they are too! Also I'm not extremely obsessed with them like when I went to their concert I was really excited and all and yes I screamed a few times, but I didn't start crying and fainting like
some people! O and I'm not 11 either!

yeahh, my friends ... ( 2 months ago by emilyann2170)

yeahh, my friends are not the same nerdy-ness as me. they didn't even know the extent of my exponential brain power until they saw my class schedule and gpa. they make fun of me so much, but i know they love me =]
yeah, my best friend and i have been obsessed with them for about two years now, ever since we heard "mandy" on trl, which we watched on an early release day after school out of pure boredom, and now we are crazy for them...

haha, I'm the same. Everyone who meets me assumes that I'm dumb, but I'm really a gigantic nerd. AND I'm a nerdfighter who loves the Jonas Brothers. :)

An Alaska and Katherines movie? -faints from awesome overdose-
However I will be an obsessive fan girl at the maybe eventually premiere of each of these movies, exhibiting my 11-year-old-Jonas-brothers-concert high pitched voice as well, I do not think that any movie, even written by, well, you, could capture the wonder that is your books. Books are awesome and will never be surpassed. I know this, despite my watching movies based on books and not reading the books in the past. FOR SHAME!

Hello, I got done ... ( 1 month ago by MagicHands99)

Hello, I got done reading Looking For Alaska at approximately 1:34[ish] last night. Ive got to say Im quite a fan :] Alaska was really identifiable with, since she had that spontanious/semi-bipolar[hah] streak in her. I liked the book because it was different..yet relatable. I hate spending time on another "teen book" thats unoriginal and predictable. So thank you. Im an aspiring author myself, and a lot of times I get discouraged :/ So if you have any words of wisdom Id love to hear. Thx again

in an earlyer video he said that the best thing for aspiring writers to do is to read books so your doing great :D

An Abundance of ... ( 4 weeks ago by jmbirk)

An Abundance of Katherines seems like it would make a great screenplay. I just finished it yesterday and I remember thinking "that's a lot of flashbacks," (and since the point of screenplay is to have everything REVEALED to the reader rather than TOLD to them, flashbacks work very well in this medium) but I'm not saying you should try and be Christopher Nolan on your first project.

I'm soooo happy for you! Love your glasses they are so jokes. Please don't get rid of your fangirl voice, how else are we supposed to know when you're excited?? DFTBA (i feel like DFTBA loses its punch when it's not capitalized... like dftba isn't as impressive as DFTBA...)

do not like the jonas brothers. they dont even write their own material. X_X unlike the comic book heros, who do. CBH FTW!!!!!!! xD

OMG! I have no idea ... ( 2 weeks ago by karoleis1)

OMG! I have no idea of another way to express my excitement right now. An Abundance of Katherines is like my favorite book ever! I read it very possibly during math class and still knew more about the class material that everyone else in the class!!!

um yea except the jonas brothers DO write their own material, they write pretty much all of their own songs, so yea all i have to say is if you dont like the jonas brothers you should shoot yourself in the foot thanks =]

Co-write, perhaps. ... ( 1 week ago by tokyosweetheart)

Co-write, perhaps. Either way, I can't say that "Kids of the Future" did any justice to Kim Wilde's original "Kids in America". Makes me cringe. And no, I don't think I'll likely stoop to the point of self mutilation over anonymous opinionated fangirlism, sorry to disappoint. DFTBA hun.

They write like 95% of their own songs. And "Kids of the Future" is totally made of awesome. It's like 20x better than the original. And you should totally stoop to the point of self mutilation over the most amazing band in the world.

i think we should ... ( 4 days ago by makius1400)

i think we should all resort to some sort of foot mutilation for arguing over The Jonas Brothers. And yes i'm including myself in this because i'm just as guilty for posting this reply... "in my pants"
