I'm Jon. A 20 year old college kid hoping to become a teacher. :D
The fandoms I care the most about/ follow the most blogs for atm are: Dr. Who (first doctor ftw, seriously William Hartnell is amazing, eleven is a close second), Final Fantasy 9, Psych, Harry Potter, Elementary, and Sherlock. I would love to follow blogs focusing on Avatar the Last Airbender/ Legend of Korra, Boy Meets World, or Community, so if you are looking for a follower and fit that criteria let me know somehow and I'll check your blog out.
Oh also I recently achieved a childhood dream by actually completing National Novel Writing Month(NaNoWriMo). What that essentially is is writing 50,000 words in 30 days or less. It was brutally challenging and brilliantly cathartic.

Best part of this entire thing being over is I can finally fill in all of the plot holes that Romney winning could have caused in my novel.

Can someone explain why the nytimes and HuffPo already have Vermonts electoral votes for Obama when the state is reporting 0% of the votes? I mean I completely understand that the state is in the bag for him, but isn’t it a little premature at the moment? Or do I just not understand how these live trackers work?
