John Green says something.

(From the TFiOS audiobook. No spoilers.)

I was hoping someone was gonna post this!

Real human being.

Hashtag Real John Green.

This might just be the most inspirational and beautiful thing I have ever heard John say, ever.

So I hit play, and I was like “Wait, I’ve heard this before…” then I looked at the URL and I was like AARON, LOOK HOW MANY NOTES YOUR POST HAS. And then I was like “I wonder if he’s all proud that of how many notes this has gotten, or if he’s just like This is what I will be remembered for on tumblr till the end of time?” And then I thought AARON HAS YOUR FACE HAD ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS YET? And well, that last part only makes sense to like 3 people…

The blackboard at the end of Mark Oshiro’s visit to UMD on February 28. 

In case you were unaware, Draco is a racist planet.

i regret absolutely nothing

(ps the UMD Nerdfighters are wonderful human beings and i’ll give a lecture on that, too, if i have to)

I’m so sad that I missed this!

UMD Quidditch shouldn't be allowed in group chats.
Sarah Woolsey: More of the team must have Skype... we need to find them. A group video call would be crazy. Just like we all are.
sirnotappearinginthismovie: i havent used skype is 3 years
Rebecca Goldman: And now you are ... magic.
Caroline: I only use it when someone specifically requests
Rebecca Goldman: I use it occasionally.
Caroline: most of the time fb/gchat are sufficient
Rebecca Goldman: Though I seem to always be on.
Caitlin: I have it on all the time...I mostly use it for a few people.
Kayla Fitzgerald: yeah thats me too
pheartehevil: Did I just get added to a group chat?
pheartehevil: Sup all?
Caitlin: Facebook chat hates me, so we switched to Skype.
sirnotappearinginthismovie: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"-arthur c clarke
Sarah Woolsey: ^ SWLT
Sarah Woolsey: I have it on a while. And usually only use it when someone else contacts me. But I just thought about how few people I'm friends with that I actually have as contacts on Skype
sirnotappearinginthismovie: i just made this account since i forgot the password to the old one
sirnotappearinginthismovie: and that was easier
Caitlin: Yeah, I mostly use it for people I have little to no contact with in real life.

DON’T PANIC.

I love that the primary advice I got from both people who responded to the DCP post was “STAY CALM.” You know me too well. I should go dins something to drink that isn’t chock full o caffeine & sugar…

Also, I saw Aaron coming out of the South Campus Diner wearing the Pizza John Shirt, and totally just pointed at him & shouted “PIZZA JOHN!” Other people probably thought I was insane. Then we ended up talking for like 20 minutes, and now I kinda really want our Official Club Name to be #UMDFTBA.


UPDATE:
I just got off of the phone interview. i think it went well? But I’m also REALLY terrible at telling those sorts of things. The woman on the interview seemed really nice and enthusiastic, and I really liked her. Her name was Claire!
I don’t think I did a terrible job of answering any of the questions, I just hope I wasn’t too rambly & long winded in some of my explanations. Y’all know how rambly I can get.
