I love how completely crazy he looked when he says,"I'm shy in real life but when I'm in my basement alone, with the video camera on... I sometimes geek out." John, don't scare the new nerdfighters!
I meet both you and Hank in Houston about a month ago. I got a high five from Hank and I can't help but feeling like, for that one minute, I was made of nothing but pure awesome.
Unfortunately haven't met you askaesfdgjktegrlkwgsfva due primarily to lack of vlogbrothers in England, damnit! I'm afraid I must leave this comment, due to a pressing engagement involving afternoon tea, the queen, and extensive amounts of top hats. I bid you farewell, comment.
Apparently I'd been so excited about TFIOS that every time I mentioned it to my mom, I said it really fast and didn't articulate. I finally lent her the book, and when she read the title, she told me that she had thought the book was called "The Falkner Stars." His last words reminded me :)
@smurphgirl131 Haha, I have a similar problem. I've been recommending Paper Towns to lots of people and about half of them thought the book was called Paper Towels. Explains why they were a little reluctant ;)
I met John, and it was sort of like "....I can't talk." I was too overwhelmed by the awesomeness of the situation to muster up anything else. And then he said "Yeah, I'm really awkward right now too." I don't even remember what I said to Hank.
I was so nervous meet you in real life cause i didn't know what to say i just wanted to shout out OMG ITS JOHN AND HANK and give you hugs but unfortudenly there was a table between us and about 1000 people behind me and i didn't think it would be fair that i would be the only person bold enough to jump over a table to get hugs (and then maybe arrested). I chocked up around hank all i could do was smile and give a thumbs up...i need a redo for that so i can say THANK YOU AND BEST WISHES~~!!!!!!!!
I have met you both! It was very cool actually. I met you during the TFiOS tour! The meeting was short, as there were a few hundred people behind me in line. And I would have loved to have the chance to talk to you more. But! In the 30 or so seconds I did get to speak with you, you made an effort to actually speak to me. I really appreciated that. It's always heartbreaking when you get the chance to meet someone, and they don't even look up at you. To answer your question! It was incredible :)
John, I'd really like to meet you and Hank. But I'm also a person who prefers to stay in her cave and write stories, and crowds scare me...a lot. So I'll have to wait 'til I can get over this crippling case of social anxiety. The prospect of maybe meeting you guys is great motivation.
I just want to say that I checked out "Looking for Alaska" from my local library today (which is an awesome book!) and I just so happened to notice that, scrawled onto the very first blank page in pencil, was 'DFTBA'. Gotta love that, eh? c:
@Trisscarro Tbh I haven't been on YT for a while so I'm just finding out I have a top comment, I'm having a good day so far, and you used the right "you're"... so yeah I'm pretty happy :)
I met yall both at the Tour de Nerdfighting 2012 stop in Houston, TX. Um, I loved it because John was genuinely excited about meeting me and my friend (who happened to be wearing Swoodilypoopers shirts) which was great. It was so exciting to see John getting excited over something I made when I get so excited over things he (and Hank) makes! I said hi to Hank, but he was really busy so we didn't talk and I met The Katherine and she was super awesome. I WANT TO MEET YALL AGAIN!! :)
When I met you,(TFIOS Tour in Portland OR) it was all too fast. I don't know what I was expecting, but my fangirl feels were loulder then my Nerd Brain, You were nice, but again, as with any book signing it was all too fast. I hope you like the Voodoo I brought you. :)
I have now seen you in person!! I know you probably don't read these old comments, but I felt the need to answer your question. It was humbling to be so authentically thanked by both of you. Here I was all ready to thank you two for all that you do for increasing awesome and decreasing suck, and for making me think, and for entertaining me while I was going through chemo... and you thanked me. And meant it. You two are truly awesome and I wish I could get to know you both better. DFTBA
John, you were very friendly last night in Santa Monica, under difficult circumstances of limited time, and exhaustion. In a normal situation, I expect you are no less warm. My advice: treat the person as though you're already friends, and both of you will feel at ease. DFTBA.
i just met John last night. Hank was kind of awkward, but John was ever so nice. Though Id really like to meet him again because I was nervous and there were so many people that i didnt get to say much, and i forgot to shake his hand. on the brightside, thanked him sincerely for his writing. i hope he took it very sincerely.
John, don't mean to trouble you at night with the fact that anything remembered, whether it was written or mentally, could be wrong, but I believe that it might be "Meer Licht!".
I just finished watching the chapter two reading of TFIOS in wich the Yeti made an appearance. In this video ( of wich I have never seen) he gives the meraculus account of Sahra. Yesy fellow youtubers and nerd fighters the name hath been revealed. "So we carry on the path of knowing and not." Vince Tortora. Yes I quoted myself. DFTBA
One of my favorite ones when people get in debates about evolution versus creationism is Darwin on his death bed who said " It was just a theory.- even he did not think he is work replaced it in the end.
@carphi100 I think the reports you mention of Darwin's last words were published in the book The Lady Hope Story. This story was universally denied by Darwin's friends and family. When I just tried to find his last words in Google apparently his last words were about how he isn't afraid and most of all how he loved his wife and kids. The death bed repentance is just a myth that persisted like the Einstein being a theist.
Have not seen famous people die but,I saw my grandfather die before my eyes, in fact I was there when both did, one I think death came as surprise to even him as he said nothing when he passed, he just laid down on the couch to watch a Jazz game, fell asleep, and that was that. No one though he would go. My other grandpa was in the hospital and he was between this world and the next- told me he could see Abraham Lincoln, he wasn't delirious- he could see him and shortly went where Abe is..
I've never met you.... :( but SOMEDAY MY GOOD SIR... SOMEDAY.... See that problem i have is that i'm a closet nerd. I don't talk about the things i like around people i don't know very well because i'm pretty sure i would bore them to death. I'm a preppy boy who played sports in high school, but i hung out with nerdy kids, because they are more fun to talk to :D ... in fact i would fight someone if they made fun of my nerdy friends.... hmm.... interesting ANYWAY SEE YA
John, Goethes last words where, in fact not "mehr licht"(as he would have said it), but "Open the second shutter so that more light may come in" and even in german sentense structure, that doesn't make his last two words "more light", but also "come in". Sorry.
I need that book. I really really need that book. And I almost got it too, except then my mom saw the price... and... uhm... well, lets just say I don't have the book.
@ggennav the autor was selling it for only 10 $ only two weeks ago and i so wanted to buy it but i waited to long and missed it. i was so gutted. now im saving up^^
@sallyrhiannon That's a fantastic idea(: Now I just have to figured out how I'm going to save up when I have to income to save in the first place... ah well, I can also bug my mum. (: lol
I believe, that I believe that this was the first vlogbrothers video that I saw, according to my flashbulb memory, and thereafter have been subscribed. But about 2 weeks ago I decided to start at the very beginning. So now I am happy to say I have seen all of your vides, and I feel smarter and definitely nerdier, and for that I thank you John and Hank. Thanks for being so awesome.
John I have not met you or Hank sadly. Although that could be because I only recently started watching your videos, and I dont think you have ever been to Ireland. You should come, we'd like you over here.
John, I met you in person at the 2011 Beckoning of Lovely. You were hilarious and completely willing to draw a stick figure on my pillow case, which I geeked out about to all my friends later. But what impressed me most was your complete determination to keep the focus on the purpose of the gathering, despite the many nerdfighters who were just excited to be in your presence. You're just a really good person. :)
This has nothing to do with the video, but I'd just like to point out that I LOVE how Nerdfighter's YT comments are usually longer than usual and for the most part, grammatically correct. It makes me so happy :3
I JUST ORDERED THE HUNGER GAMES TRILOGY! I am excite. P.S I spit on the screen of my desktop monitor when you said Marshall Field II 's last words. Thanks, John Green. 1 for making me clean my computer screen. 2. for making me feel a certain dissonance at laughing at a dying man. I am dissapoint. Alright, I'm not dissapoint. I am however going home. DFTBA <3
@lyricalpraise In my opinion, the last two are the best :D They're really great books, hope you have a lot of fun reading them! And the movie comes out on March 23, 2012 :)
John, i met you IRl 3 times in teh Netherlands. All were amazing. Even without preparing (surprise party!) or editing, you are an interesting, kind and just generally awesome person. Besides, even if you had turned out to be boring IRL, they day would still have been saved by the united awesome-ness of all teh other nerdfighters. DFTBA
John and Hank did a concert/book signing about three years ago in the town over. Hank asked what my name was when he signed my CD and I said "Julianna" and he said it was a nice name.
That's usually the story I tell to impress my nerdfighter friends; works every time
I am less than pleased with John's gallbladder, as it stole him from me at LeakyCon 2011 and I only got to see him briefly (and creepily) in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Last Words of Notable People. Must clear out inventory— So, nerdfighters, I am offering the book for $ 9.50 (while they last) -- that's 90% off --orig list! (so its below my cost) Must purchase thru Amazon —Only $9.50 (via new/used copies link on Amazon) If you want an inscribed/signed copy,let me know in a note via Amazon. Please help spread the word. Thanks. - William B. Brahms
@gmbrdp Thanks to everyone who ordered a copy. I had about 1000 excess copies to sell off and figured would end 12/31 or when 1000 copies were sold (I really did not think 1000 copies could be sold -- but nerdfighters blew that away--and they went quick -- in a matter of days). Thanks -- you are all awesome.
YES! I met Hank last summer in front of the missoula library at his/harry and the potters' concert and it was amazingly wonderful because i 1. got to hear epic music and 2. because i got pictures with hank and a whole hilarious conversation with him and some fantastic nerdfighters from calgary that came. (so yes, i would most certainly do it again.)
Help? My tribe is trying to gain Federal Recognition and I would appreciate if you could go onto the website* and sign the petition It ends DECEMBER 1ST !

It's so sad that John is always worried about disappointing the people he meets IRL. He doesn't realize that just being there is more than enough. I met him last month in Asheville and it couldn't have possibly been more perfect. He was just sitting in a little classroom answering people's questions and then we went up and got him to sign our books. He didn't have to be interesting or well edited for it to have been the best day of my life.
Uber-nerd Steve Job's Last words were just released by his sister. "Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow." A few people inquired. --Oh and if you want the book Last Words of Notable People -- At nerdfighter's request -- it is on Amazon at a big discount -- just go to 'new and used' section and you can get it from publisher (me) deeply discounted. Thanks. to everyone who bought the book. And I still have not met John nor Hank but it is on my bucket list.
@CatMongke Entertaining, but "doubtful" Legend says it was spoken to his housekeeper -- but no source validates this. Actual Last Words: Unknown. Marx was recuperating, his quiet but sudden death sitting in an armchair caught his family by surprise. Marx was told he was getting better. His housekeeper (Demuth) and daughter were home when he died. It is highly unlikely either would encourage Marx to dictate his Last Words when they had no idea he was about to die. (Last Words of Notable People)
How expensive is that book?! Man, I want it though... When I Googled it I found a similarly titled book by Jonathan Green! Is that a particularly uninventive pseudonym, John?!
OMG you need to send me that book!!! =•D I will love you forever vlogbrothers and get a tattoo of the skull and nerdbones with dftba under (when I turn 16) if you do!!!!!
I was in the library group at my school and we went to our yearly excursion to the state library to see authors talk, in Melbourne, Australia. And you were there and I thought you were pretty cool at the time. People acted out the first chapter of 'Paper Towns' and you said it was exciting I think. I can't believe I was in the same room as you and I didn't even get anything signed! I recently read 'Looking for Alaska' and I cried for thirty minutes afterwards. You made my crappy day better.
I met you, John, when you came to Bellingham Washington to speak at a Young Adult Lit Conference at Western Washington University. I was 22 (or almost 22), and engaged to be married that October (6 days before the post date of this video, actually :), and you told me I was too young to get married :D Even though you were razzing me, it was the coolest 20 minutes of my life. (Until I got married. That was pretty cool too.)
You know that video that Hank put up when he was messing around in DIA because he was really bored? Well, that day was when I had to go to the airport to pick up my friend Sarah from her flight, and all I could think was "What's wrong with this guy?" ... I sadly did not know he was Hank Green.
from 0:19 to 0:26, if you replace the title 'last words of famous people' with 'The Fault in Our Stars', then that will undoubtedly be my reaction when I recieve TFiOS.
I met you both at LeakyCon and was unfortunately rushed past you at the very end of the first day (and then you were gone shortly after)! You were both fairly kind to me although probably very annoyed and definitely busy. I gave you dictionaries. Also cross-stitches. I was more worried about you finding ME weird than finding you weird. Hopefully I will get a chance to make a better impression in future.
I feel as though by now I should have run into John, because I've spent the last year in Indiana near Indianapolis, then when I was in NY John was in NY, and even in London I pick up a book and there's his name and a review in the upper corner. It's as if the universe is saying go forth and stalk youtubers.....
I, too, have never met you guys but have had a dream. I went into a restaurant and saw you both there, and in my excitement, I ran up to you, John, and called you Hank. I'm as incredibly sorry now as I was in my dream. Both of you were properly estranged by my "fangirlyness" but also very nice.
As soon as I read the title I knew it was gonna mention Looking For Alaska :) Which I recently finished and adore :) But nope I have never met you guys <3
I spoke to John over the phone (I was in Japan at the time and made of Awesome sister went in to have my copy of Paper Towns signed) and John spoke so fast I was a little in awe and couldn't speak. Then I went to Disneyland! I thought it was awesome! It was pretty much my best day ever.
Doc Holliday's last words were "This is funny"; having always thought he would die in either a gunfight or at least with his boots on, he said this while dying of tuberculosis in a hotel room and looking down to see someone had taken his boots off.
I have tripped and fallen head first into geek heaven! I am currently enjoying a marathon event, watching your videos until my eyes bleed or my alarm goes off signaling time for work... =( I do love the videos. <3 From a geek in Tx
I met you and Hank at the Tour de Nerdfighting in Phoenix, Az. It was fantastic! Youguys signed my box of nerds!!

I believe, that I believe that this was the first vlogbrothers video that I saw, according to my flashbulb memory, and thereafter have been subscribed. But about 2 weeks ago I decided to start at the very beginning. So now I am happy to say I have seen all of your vides, and I feel smarter and definitely nerdier, and for that I thank you John and Hank. Thanks for being so awesome.

John, I met you in person at the 2011 Beckoning of Lovely. You were hilarious and completely willing to draw a stick figure on my pillow case, which I geeked out about to all my friends later. But what impressed me most was your complete determination to keep the focus on the purpose of the gathering, despite the many nerdfighters who were just excited to be in your presence. You're just a really good person. :)

(so yes, i would most certainly do it again.)

It's so sad that John is always worried about disappointing the people he meets IRL. He doesn't realize that just being there is more than enough. I met him last month in Asheville and it couldn't have possibly been more perfect. He was just sitting in a little classroom answering people's questions and then we went up and got him to sign our books. He didn't have to be interesting or well edited for it to have been the best day of my life.

CatMongke 4 months ago 146
@CatMongke Entertaining, but "doubtful" Legend says it was spoken to his housekeeper -- but no source validates this. Actual Last Words: Unknown. Marx was recuperating, his quiet but sudden death sitting in an armchair caught his family by surprise. Marx was told he was getting better. His housekeeper (Demuth) and daughter were home when he died. It is highly unlikely either would encourage Marx to dictate his Last Words when they had no idea he was about to die.

I was in the library group at my school and we went to our yearly excursion to the state library to see authors talk, in Melbourne, Australia. And you were there and I thought you were pretty cool at the time. People acted out the first chapter of 'Paper Towns' and you said it was exciting I think. I can't believe I was in the same room as you and I didn't even get anything signed! I recently read 'Looking for Alaska' and I cried for thirty minutes afterwards. You made my crappy day better.

I met you, John, when you came to Bellingham Washington to speak at a Young Adult Lit Conference at Western Washington University. I was 22 (or almost 22), and engaged to be married that October (6 days before the post date of this video, actually :), and you told me I was too young to get married :D Even though you were razzing me, it was the coolest 20 minutes of my life. (Until I got married. That was pretty cool too.)

I met you both at LeakyCon and was unfortunately rushed past you at the very end of the first day (and then you were gone shortly after)! You were both fairly kind to me although probably very annoyed and definitely busy. I gave you dictionaries. Also cross-stitches. I was more worried about you finding ME weird than finding you weird. Hopefully I will get a chance to make a better impression in future.
