I wish my life was boring.

About

Visual evidence of eternal nerdiness.

My name is Donna, though some call me Donut1. Additional nicknames include Lars and Hot Donna2. I live in Seattle, I’m in my early twenties and was born on April Fools’ Day. I was supposed to be a boy. Clearly, this was the best April Fools’ joke anyone has ever played. Just try to beat that.

I am a huge, perpetually nostalgic nerd prone to frequent nerdgasming. I don’t understand people who don’t get excited about stuff. Sometimes I type in bursts of capslock because in real life I speak in bursts of capslock. Also, when I speak, you can hear the italics. I swear. It’s just something that needs to happen.

As the visual evidence to your left suggests, I was a nerd from day one.

I’m unfortunately Muggle. When I was eleven, I deserately wished my Hogwarts acceptance letter would arrive. In truth, I’m still pretty sad that no owls have bombared me with envelopes as of yet.

As a kid I was obsessed with princesses, dinosaurs, and space, which says a lot more about me today than you might think. Also, Pop Rocks + Coca-Cola = delicious. I’m a rebel that way.

I never learned how to drive because I find it to be horrifyingly scary. I don’t like being in control of anything with wheels. I don’t even like riding a bike. I trust 1) my legs and 2) the bus driver to not kill me. I spend a lot of time on public transportation. This means I also witness some of the craziest shit to ever happen in the universe. I wish my life was boring, but crazy is attracted to me no matter how I try to hide from it.

I’m terrible at choosing just one (or even ten) favorite anything. I always end up listing every book3/band/television show/film/whatever I’ve ever remotely liked. I’m not terribly picky in what I’ll read, listen to, view, etc. as I can find redeeming factors in nearly everything such as: “This is so bad it’s amazing” and “How can you not see the beauty of Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgård singing ABBA songs? Did you see the way Colin Firth marched out during ‘Waterloo’? How is that not ~amazingcakes~?”

However, Saw II ruined my whole entire life. Four of five years later, I am still paranoid. I can’t even watch anything remotely scary anymore. It’s terrible.

Stuff I like: puppy-sized hippos4, YA, Swedish pancakes, wookiees, If You Give a Moose a Muffin, evil lairs, Joss Whedon, laser tag, Dean Winchester’s eating habits, fiction that makes me paranoid, The Hunger Games, wizard rock, Sea Wolf, not forgetting to be awesome, Arrested Development, carnivals/fairs, ferries, The Phantom of the Opera, Cry-Baby, urban fantasy, romance languages

  1. Patricia AKA Hans, my partner in crime, informed that, at least in Venezuelan Spanish, dona means donut. And now I’m The Donut. Also, Lars. But that’s another story for another time. ↩
  2. As in, Hot Donna from That 70s Show. Nickname courtesy of Jackie. ↩
  3. My mission in life is to become a librarian. Books > life. ↩
  4. Whenever you hear me say, “I love this more than anything in the whole entire world,” I am lying unless I am talking about this video. ↩
