More photos, and NERDS!

It seems that Sundays are just getting to be lazy slug days, so here are some photos. I was accomplishing things, I swear!:
Sashiko and Vlogbrothers

So much love.  

 So for readers who don't know, The Vlogbrothers are vloggers... Who are brothers.
They are totally amazing and smart fellows (John, the elder brother, is an awesome New York Times bestselling young adult author, and his brother Hank is an environmentalist/head of a record company/creator of VidCon, a Youtube convention that I WANT TO GO TO), who encourage their viewers to make the world a better place and think about issues complexly.

They spearheaded a movement for their viewers and the world to embrace being enthused about things and people, specifically encouraging such obsessions that will make you a smarter, more thoughtful individual. Some call it nerdy. They call it NERDFIGHTERS. (Not like fighting the nerds, but like being a freedom fighter.)

To demonstrate my love for Nerdfighteria and all that it stands for, here's a quick example:
The rallying cry of a nerdfighter is the phrase, said in many a video, "Don't Forget to be Awesome."

This has also been shortened to an initialism, which has become the name of Hank's music company, and is a good reminder for life in general. That's maybe why...

It's tattooed on my inner arm.
 Along with this, which is not a nerdfighting quote, but which I'm pretty sure that any nerdfighter will agree with:

Other inner arm. It says "I am still learning" in Italian.
Now
1: You know the things that I need to remind myself of every day

And

2: You can identify my corpse, if need be.

Now

3: I am hungry and am going to eat dinner.
