#NerdsUnite: The Ramblings of a Raconteuse (Bucket List of Randomness)

<editorsnote> Nerds, meet my buddy Helenna. We met on twitter not too long ao, and she’s totes mcgotes one rad chiquita banana with a flare for all things flair! That’s right, Helenna here is what we call an artsy fartsy nerd. She’s a poet, into all things dramatic arts, and she’s going to come on board to write each week about her love of said drama. Well not like actual drama drama, like some cat fight shit – but you get the idea. I only have one thing left to say … HIT IT HELENNA!!! </editorsnote>
