Vonerdculary

Vonerdculary (vo•nerd•cu•lar•y) - noun; portmanteau formed from the word "vocabulary" (a collection of words or phrases) and the word "nerd" (an intelligent person who always strives to better themselves and the people around them).


1) the vocabulary of a nerd

2) the name of the blog between two high school friends who wish to keep in touch with each other whilst attending geographically separated universities. The posts on this blog will consist of two sections: first, the Vonerdculary entry, followed by the blog entry. In the Vonerdculary entry, the Vonerdword will be given, followed by its meaning, usage, and discipline/language from which it hails. In the blog section, the author  may write whatever he wishes, however it must include (a) the use of the Vonerdword as well as (b) the use of the previous Vonerdword complete with a link to the original post where the definition can be found. Posts will be made a minimum of twice a week: once by the English one on Tuesdays and once by the Science one on Thursdays.

Haldo. Words to me are like popcorn: I must have them on a regular basis—mainly in large quantities—and they are better smothered in butter. My pastimes include reading, dancing terribly, and making appalling puns. My family was originally from Turkey and moved to the Caribbean, so at every family reunion there are always All Turk-Hatians.

Hey there! So, a bit of info about me, eh? I have a passion for learning and teaching as well as making music; I play the piano and the French Horn (lol what a nerd, no?) and I'm a 3rd generation overseas-Chinese, but I am first generation Chinese-Canadian. I love reading and science and being generally abnormal. Oh yea, and I do not come with subtitles; sorry for the inconvenience.
So, thing is something new for me, and hopefully it will get me to be a little bit more adventurous with my social life... I tend to be quite shy when around people I've never met before, and I'm used to being very protective about my internet and personal life, so this should be interesting =) I'm interested to see what becomes of the Vonerdculary as we progress through this school year...
