مرحبا!

Hey everybody! I'm Avent-Garde, or Holly, and I'm your Friday Blogger!!!!! (Yay TGIF! *EPIC HIGH FIVE HERE*) I'm so excited to do this collab blog and get to know everyone!

Things that are important to know about me:
1. I'm a student of Middle Eastern Historical Linguistics

                      WORD OF THE DAY
                         LINGUISTICS:
                   The science of Languages
   I've studied a multitude of languages including Japanese and Italian. I focus mainly on Hebrew, Farsi, Dari,  and standard Arabic.

2. I'm old school vintage. Like THIS! And This adorable thing :) 
3. I collect tea sets from around the world!
4. Not only am I a student, but I'm a full time Baker at a local Grocery store, or as I like to call it, Prison #77. Oh the stories that come from retail work. :P
This also means that sometimes I work nights. :P
5. My music interest ranges from Marianas Trench to THIS and my favorite. Man, I love the ol' gospel feel in music. :) (I'm 21, not 50, for the record)
6. I like to write, and I LOVE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. BUT I LOVE BIKING EVEN MORE!!!!!!!

8. I live near Colorado Springs. Most of you probably heard of the Waldo Canyon Fire that wiped out the West side of the city on Tuesday. (scary stuff! Man, it was like Armageddon down here!)


9.  I am a Christian. Not the "if your a __________ then God hates you and we do too" kind but the, "Dude, God loves ya no matter what you do," kind.

Things I hate:

1. Tornadoes
2. Rude customers
3.......... .......... .........

Yeah, that's about it....

So, I might have just discovered how to put links into a blog post, so I went a little link happy. Give it time, and I'll get over it. I'm long winded as well, but what can you do? I just have a lot to say/show!

Happy Friday!

Hello!

My name is Philippa, and I'll be your Thursday blogger! I'm from Sweden, way up in northern Europe, and I've lived here almost all my life. :) I think my friends would describe me as friendly, and maybe a little bit shy. I'm also really indecisive and haven't quite figured out what I want to do with my life yet, so I'm working a bit while trying to make up my mind! :)

Here's a bit more about me:

  Likes: 
- The ocean
- Spring
- The sound of rain tapping on the roof or windows
- Science
- Languages
- Soccer (I love to watch it, but I'm pretty hopeless at sports in general to be honest, haha :) )

  Dislikes:
- Rushing to do things at the last minute
- Cheese (haha a bit strange, I know!)
- Being late (but I always am, I just can't seem to help it)


I’m so excited about this blog, and I’m really looking forward to getting to know you all better! :)

- Philippa

Hello from France! This is Sarah and I will be your Wednesday blogger! I'm really excited that we finally started this blog, and I can't wait to see how this all turns out. :)
Anyway, here's a little about me:
Likes:

1. My cat
2. Music (I'll probably drive you all crazy talking about it, since it's my major in college)
3. Playing the piano
4. The band Beirut and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes
5. Chocolate
6. Writing (this one's pretty obvious, since I'm doing this blog!)
7. Travelling
8. Knitting

Dislikes:
1. Country music
2. Whenever people use "your" when they're supposed to use "you're" (I swear I'm not a huge grammar nazi, that just bothers me a lot)
3. Getting lost (which I tend to do a lot...)
4. Really cold weather
I also normally live in Texas, and I'm going to be a freshman in college in the fall, which is exciting! I also really love Harry Potter and Doctor Who, and obsess about books a lot too. :)
Thanks for reading! I usually don't like Wednesdays, but I think that that will change. :)

Howdy I am Erin and I will be your Tuesday Blogger :)

Howdy y'all!


My name is Erin and I will be the Tuesday blogger for "The Colors of Us". Currently in my time zone it is a little after Tuesday but we had to switch some bloggers and days around, and I had a late night at work (long irritating story), but we shall persevere!!



A little bit about me:

I am a relatively shy introverted person as a whole, but some more details include;

Likes:

Baking (or my job would truly suck!!!)

Soccer

Reading and writing (though no one I know in person reads my stuff)

Music

My friends and family

Elaborating and details... incase y'all don't pick that up.

Ellipsis (...) <<

Lists!!!



Dislikes:

Stupidity (Let me preface- there is a difference between stupid and ignorance... ignorance can be fixed stupidity cannot) < applies greatly to the people I work for

Sour cream... just not a big fan of it

Spelling and Proof reading/editing... It isn't that I dislike it I am just very bad at it

I believe I will end it there. I can tend to ramble on, so I figure that you will get to know me through the blog themes. I am a very opinionated person, so it should be easy.

Always,
Erin

FIRST POST!!1!1!!


Ahem...


Hello! Allow me to welcome you to The Colours of Us-a Nerdfighter collab blog. My name is Nicky and I'll be your Monday blogger. Were I wearing a hat, I would tip it in greeting.


The first week is just going to be each of us introducing ourselves, then we'll start posting about themes and such. Think Sarcaschicks, but in textual form, and without occational appearances from Alex Day (yet).


So I guess the smart thing to do would be to type a bit about me, so here we go!


I love:
  • Friends (not the TV show) 
  • Community (yes, the TV show [SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE!]) 
  • Using multiple sets of parenthesis 
  • Science+math 
  • My family 
  • Double choc chip cookies 
  • The internet 
  • Being nerdy 
  • Tech 
  • This (bringing it back) 
  • Bullet points 


I hate:
  • My sinuses and the pain they cause me 
  • Stupid leggings and OTT patterned tights (to be expanded on at a later date) 
  • Alan Carr 
  • Summer (Winter ftw) 
  • The incorrect pronunciation of 'texts' (more here


Hopefully, my posts entertain, interest, or enlighten you, or at least make you smile.


I look forward to being your Monday blogger!


-Nicky :)
