Life and Stuff

So, recently I've been reflecting on my existence, why I am on this planet, that kind of thing. And I realized that there is a lot of stuff I want to do in my life. I want to freak out strangers, and do tons of awesome once in a lifetime things. So, I've devised a list. (You're reading the blog of the BIGGEST nerd ever, remember?) Here it is. (By the way, some things I got off the internet, so don't say stuff like, "Oh my god! You totally ripped off _____ they posted this and now you're saying you came up with it!!!" I'm not. I just got inspired by it and thought they were good ideas.)

My Bucket List:


  • Run into a store. Ask what year it is. When they answer, yell, "IT WORKED!" and run out cheering.
  • Empty out a mayonnaise jar, and fill it with vanilla pudding or yogurt. Eat in public.
  • Play real life bus stop. (The theater game where you act to try to get someone off their bus stop seat. In real life, the other person doesn't know I'm just acting!)
  • Say, "Follow that Monkey!" in real life, not just being silly.
  • While in an elevator, meow occasionally.
  • When I get a job, call someone into my office, and turn the chair around so its facing away from the door. When they come in, say, "I'm sure you're wondering why you're here."
  • Visit England.
  • Witness an Eclipse
  • Write a best seller novel

  • Crash a Party
  • Order something from an infomercial that I have no need for and is really stupid.

What is a Nerd?

If you have had an internet connection (Which you obviously do if you're reading this) or have entered any Claire's Justice or other "girl" store in the past year or so, you will have noticed that a lot of girls have been just putting on over sized glasses and calling themselves nerds. Saying stuff like, "I'm like, a total nerd and gamer girl, LOL!" This angers me. A LOT. Let me tell you about why.

I have no problem with these girls becoming nerds and gamer girls. The thing is, is that they think that because they bought some "nerd" glasses and play Angry Birds on their iPhone that they are a nerd and a gamer girl. Which is NOT true in the slightest! I don't know who is reading this, but I'm assuming that if you're following my blog, or you like to read it, you're probably at least a little nerdy and annoyed by what these girls do.

The thing is, most people are born nerdy. They find out of their nerdiness early on, or sometimes later, and they embrace it, either by school and math, nerdy t shirts and Doctor Who, nerdy drawings, nerdy comics, or another form of "nerdiness". Some people I am sad to say, squash their nerdiness down. They are so eager to become popular, they squish their smarts and nerdiness down until it is nonexistent. They make sure that they are Dumb Danielles and Stupid Saras. I makes me sad. But then, there is the final group, the people who were born the bad kind of popular, the Barbies if you will. They are the ones who put on the glasses, and call themselves nerds.

The thing is, though it is possible, going from that state of Barbie esq popularity to a nerd is challenging. They need hard work and dedication, which is rarely what these girls are known for. Don't get me wrong! Plenty of Barbies have changed their ways and come to the nerd side, its just that most of them think it would be easier to be popular, and put on a pair of glasses.

To become a nerd, you need to surround yourself with nerdy culture. Throw away the stuff you bought only to be popular. I don't care if its a poster of a hot movie star, the Twilight series, or a giant snow cone machine, if you don't use it, don't want it, and don't know why you got it, then THROW IT OUT. You need to find out what kind of nerd you are. Are you Creative Nerd, Gamer Nerd, Math/Other School Nerd, Book Nerd, Comic Nerd, Doctor Who Nerd, Fangirl Nerd, or other type of nerd. Keep in mind that you can be a mix of these nerds. To find out which one you are, you need to try a few of them. Watch an episode of Doctor Who, see if drawing is your thing, buy a few nerdy t shirts, buy a gaming system/games (I personally recommend PS3 and Portal 2), Go to your comic book shop, read a book that you want to read, and see if any of them strikes your interest. Once you figure it out, the real fun begins.

Now, you get to find out everything you possibly can about your chosen nerd type. Creative Nerds can know everything there is to know about Manga, Gamer Nerds can research the best gaming system, book nerds can look up books and their authors. Keep in mind that many of you will start to feel very excited and might start screaming at all the different events and places there are for people like you, and the people who are famous for your chosen nerd type might become suddenly super amazing and awesome. Keep in mind that this is normal. You are just experiencing "fangirling" which is quite normal for girls who are nerds.  Not all nerds are fangirls, but many are (Like me for instance).

After you've done that, then just have fun! You on the road to nerdiness. Go to an event, visit a bookstore, get an autograph. If you keep at it, the world will have another nerd.

Ok, enough with the self help talk. It is true that you can become a nerd if you were a Barbie, but few do. They just prefer their popularity. They might actually enjoy the things "popular girls" enjoy more than they enjoy nerdy things, and that is FINE. I am glad if there is one more nerd in the world, but if that is not what the person wants, then that is their decision. I am not going to force them to be a nerd. Ok then... looks like I wrote a whole post on nerds. Well, this post is getting WAY too long, so I'm going to sign out. Byeas!!!!

Hello Universe! (Or at Least the Part of You Reading my Blog)

Hey hey everyone! Its me, Riles of Smiles, and I am starting a blog! Now, first of all, I am going to tell you what I am going to be blogging about. Anything really! I will just blog about what's going on in my head, and that kind of stuff. Now, the Chronicles of Me is the title of  my blog, because I've always wanted to write my own biography. Now I can kind of do that, except that I'm starting 12 years after I was born... but just ignore that little fact! I mean, who really wants to learn about when I was like a year old? NOBODY! If you couldn't tell I'm REALLY random!!!!

Ok... So I'm Riles of Smiles. I chose that name because my first name is Riles, and I smile ALL THE TIME!!! I'm usually just going to go by Riles. I'm going to write in this one at least once a week. Even if its just rambling. That's kind of what I'm doing now though. BUT WHATEVER!!!


Sometimes I'll do book reviews or game review, just because I bought a game or a book and I want to tell the world what I think of it. My posts probably won't be that long, because I don't really go into detail of what I'm doing and all of that, I like it short and/or sweet. Right now this post is in this really bland font, but I'm going to change that, and make it "Chewy" font. Also, I need to tell you that I'm a huge nerd, so expect some long winded arguments about nerdy stuff that nobody cares about but me. Its ok, I'm used to it. Nobody gets my references

Also, I'm not going to mention stuff like how my blog looks, because I don't know if its still going to look that way in a year. Also, no celebrity gossip, like Justin Bieber got married or whatever. NO JUSTIN BIEBER!!! I might mention world or national news (I live in the US. I figured it was ok to tell you this because nobody is going to read this anyway, and also the US is huge. I mean, you don't even know what state I live in, let alone what county, let alone what city/town, let alone what street, let alone what apartment/condo/house I live in!) 

Ok so right now you're probably all bored and saying stuff like "We don't care about you telling us what you're going to blog about, just blog about it already!" Well jeez, aren't you pushy? Its ok. I know I shouldn't go on and on about what I'm going to be blogging about, so now I'm going to stop writing this post, and start working on a new one! I work really hard on my posts, I've been working on this one for like 5 days. I don't really have a lot of time, so I just write tidbits here and there. I'm going to try to post stuff once a week, but keep in mind if its a long winded post that has lots of information in it, Its going to take a lot longer. So, just hold tight ok? I'm sure if you're a good audience who is all nice and happy, you will wait patiently. I know how hard it is to wait for someone to post something! Just trust me when I say that it is because of a good reason. AARGH!!! Why am I just talking and talking and talking??? I'm going to stop now. Byeas! :)
