I first got introduced to Nerdfighteria (though I didn't know what it was back then) by a friend of mine showing me a Vlogbrothers video. I think this was in 2007 0r 2008, but my memory fails me as to exactly when.
I started watching a couple of their videos, but I was still in school at the time and about to do my GCSEs (exams you take at 16) so I gradually stopped watching their videos.

Early 2009, I had been remembering about these awesome videos that I'd been shown, and I think I spent a week procrastinating searching youtube for them until I actually found them. I subscribed, and watched all of the videos. I knew kinda what Nerdfighteria was, but I wasn't actively part of the "collective".

It took till mid-2010 for another friend to link me to a video of "Alex Reads Twilight" for me to discover the rich pickings of Nerdfighteria & Youtube. Gradually, from watching Alex's videos and clicking on the links to a Youtube channel hosted by somebody called Charlie, that I eventually discovered how awesome people can be.

My story isn't very interesting, but it's my story and I'm glad.

p.s: it's also written really badly 'cause I kinda forgot it was Thursday and sort of rushed it. I'll improve it, honest!
