So hey, I'm still kinda new to Nerdfighteria here (probably didn't even spell that right) But my story, is interesting in the way that I found the community. (I think) I've always been a nerd I think, in a very booky way. When I was six my mum couldn't read to me, so told me to just try and read and I never stopped. (My bookcase is about to fall over again...)
Anyway I found this awesome community, through a friend I met on a study camp (I mean how else do you find nerds?) And it was werid because she had the female version of my name, and so we kinda connected over that. Then I found out that she
1: Liked Docter Who (like obessively like me)
2: Played ukulele (like me),
3: Liked youtubers such as Alex Day and Charlie (also like me)
It was kinda scary as she was almost an extact female copy of me, and we were talking one day, and she was talking about nerdfighters, and I told me to go watch John and Hank. So me being me, I got home and it took about 2 weeks, but as soon as I watched them...man I was hooked...like serriously. I couldn't believe I missed out on this community, for most of my nerdy life.
So that's my story, and although I'm not that active on the ning, nerdfighteria has given the courage (and I kinda kick up the back side) to do awesome things, to start my own youtube channel, and start doing and making stuff I love.
