About Us

Aloha! My name is...EMILY KESSEL! Yes, my surname is the same as the race that the scruffy Han Solo mentions in "A New Hope" (the Kessel Run). Woohoo! You will know me as the Padawan blogger. The reason why I chose to be called The Padawan is due to my undying, raging, everlasting, passionate love for Star Wars, and the sharp bitterness I feel because I'll never be a Jedi...I will forever mourn the lack of the Force in my life. Anyhoot, my brother, Alex, is the Professor. He's a blonde beauty. As you probably have guessed, I am a giant super geek mainly due to growing up in a home with older brothers and a sci-fi nerd dad. I could have dropped my geeky origins once I got to high school, but I made the wise decision of embracing it, and made a fantastic group of friends who are also giant super-geeks. It's great actually that I am a nerd, since sci-fi, fandoms, and tumblr are the best things to ever grace this Earth.

This was for a portrait project for western civ this past year, and it almost captures the top layer of my nerdiness...

...and these are my dork brothers. Zak is the brunette. Alex is the blonde. While this is a low-quality picture, albeit it's cute. 

This is a closer look at your co-bloggers.  This was taken on the same night just in case you're wondering why I'm wearing the same sweatshirt. Why must I look like a dazed dumpling? Oh yeah it was my 16th birthday! Hence the pig birthday cake. Random fact: I love pigs. 

One last close up to embody the adorkableness of my brothers. Note the serious derp.

And these are the oddities I proudly call my friends. 

We are pretty cute. 

This dweeb is the lovely gal who illustrated the chibis in the header. Her name is Elyse and I love her to death. 

She does sick makeup. ^ She is way better than this picture, this is just what we do at 4am. (Check out her youtube- link on home page.)

AND HERE IS BAE. She's gorgeous and my top geek. 

You may notice we like to match. This is us pretending to be professional bloggers at school.

(Definitely check out her book blog- link on homepage.)
