But what if she's a Zombie or A Dracula? Better hang on to this.

You can learn a lot about yourself from the Traffic Sources part of the stats feature on this blog. Apparently I am in the top 100 of Perth Western Australian twitters. By followers. Practically famous. (I'm number 55 - almost in top 50! ...although it probably just shows how un-technological Perth is coupled with the fact that no one exciting actually lives in Perth. But...for me - small victories!)

Also a lot of people who visit my blog are Russian, not sure what that says about me but whatever. I think it's because there are some Russian words in one of my blog posts maybe. I don't know how that works.
But talking about Russians, if anyone happened to be watching the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship in Hanover Germany (coz I was on Saturday night having a LoL party by myself YEAH I'M SO COOL!), the team that took out the top prize for the League of Legends part of the tournament were Moscow 5 who are in fact, Russian. They crushed Dignitas (who are from the US) so hard, to remain undefeated in the tournament. It was pretty amazing to watch, their level of team work is incredible and they played pretty flawless championship matches. Seven minute (I think) dragon and they did attempt a 22(? earlier than usual) minute Baron (although it was skillfully stolen by Dig but M5 was already so ahead it did not matter). So exciting to watch. I tried to watch them again but my computer can't handle the awesome (ie it wouldn't load the video for some unknown reason).
In fact here's the baron attempt and Dignitas steal at 22 minutes. And then M5 ace Dignitas (kill all five members of the opposing team so none of them remain alive) straight after. It starts at 2:10 but if you have no idea what the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship is like you can watch the rest of the video. I am assuming it's an edit of the finals of the Counter Strike 1.6 and Starcraft II tournaments as well as LoL since they were also at the Championship. I know nothing about Starcraft but geez it looks intense.


(Look how skinny and pale the Russians are 0.o)

My friend called me a nerd the other day because I knew that the people who linked chainmail together for the Lord of the Rings movies wore off the their fingerprints. (I am still a little skeptical about this to be honest but that's what they said on the extended edition DVD.)I think I have quite a normal level of nerdiness. Right? Right.
