Sorry, VidCon posts are being delayed by a day.

I am currently ill/indisposed in two or three different mild but annoying ways plus my laptop is currently required for a viewing of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.  Ergo, no VidCon posts tonight.  But by tomorrow hopefully I'll have more video clips to add, so hooray for that.

DFTBA,
Julia

VidCon: The Aftermath

Best time of my life.  Maybe Disney World tied for best.  Maybe.

The next several days are all going to be about documentation.  Tomorrow I compile all my memories and post about the first half of day 1.  Then I'll post about the night of day 1.  And so on.

The most important thing you should know is that I'm serious about the YouTube/Nerdfighter community now.  As soon as I get my new camera, I'm going to start posting video.  Good quality, planned out, well-edited video.  I've been writing down ideas for ages.  I hope that you all will support me in my endeavors.  I really can't remember the last time I was this driven to do anything.  I may even buy a cheap ukulele off of Amazon and learn how to play it so I can try my hand at songwriting (Dear Mom and Dad: Yes, I have a guitar.  No, I never really learned to play it.  But it's at home and not very portable.  Also, right now I have time to learn ukulele and it's more conducive to the type of songs I'm thinking about.  And I'm going to practice the guitar when I get home in a few weeks).

I'm on Twitter now in a serious fashion at twitter.com/tropegirl.  Follow me there if you'd like, but don't feel you have to.  And I'm not going to lie, I'd feel a little better about myself if my YouTube channel had some subscriptions and/or comments (youtube.com/tropegirl).  BUT DON'T FEEL FORCED INTO ANYTHING.  The last thing I want is to pressure you guys.

DFTBA,
Julia

sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Day 2 of VidCon also amazing.  Got shirt signed by many amazing people.  Awesome concert.  More details later.  Sleep now.  Will sleep after get back from conference also.  Probably no new blog entry until Monday proper.  Continued bad luck in Callie's car - that will be a blog in and of itself.

*MIND BLOWN*

First day of VidCon was amazing, bizarre, and wonderful.  Best day of my life that I can think of.  Also most stressful.  Will write more when sleep less urgently critical.  Highlights:

• Hugging my favorite "celebrity"
• Moshing with some of my favorite YouTubers (mostly Hank Green and Tom Millson, with a few others sometimes in the mix
• Dancing to Numa Numa with people who were really excited about it
• Being in a crowd of people singing along to Charlie McDonnell singing "Exterminate, Regenerate"
• Having serious car troubles in LA at night.

Eclipse: A review.

It was actually quite entertaining, but probably not in the way it was supposed to be.  Warning, here there be minor spoilers.

Best line in the movie:
Jacob: "Well, I *am* hotter than you."


Also, I swear that Edward and Jacob were just shy of flirting in that scene.  It was ever so slightly awkward given the context.


Second best line in the movie: 
Edward: "Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every moment of forever."


Wow, Edward, what are you, twelve?  (I think I may be quoting the Buffy crossover video now, but I'm too tired to look that up).


Also, I don't get why so many girls love Edward so much.  He's boring.  And awkward.  And kind of ugly.  I also don't get why everyone in the Twilight universe loves Bella.  She's also really, really boring.  I guess they're perfect for each other.  


Oh goodness, time to sleep now.  I have a long weekend ahead of me.  

How do I get myself into these situations?

I'm going to Twilight: Eclipse tonight.  I wouldn't go because I have work and it costs money and I have PRINCIPLES, but there's a whole group of people going who are going to make it totally awesome.  We're going to have an amazing Parody!Edward and Parody!Jacob and several Parody!Fangirls.  To let you all know that I'm still pure of heart, here is the Buffy vs. Edward video that made Twilight even more hilarious.

P.S.  I learned from my friend who was drawing Jacob abs on another friend that apparently you can blend Sharpie on skin.  *The More You Know*

A Vid Before Vidcon

In which I discuss Toy Story 3 and how VidCon is going to be the best thing since YouTube.

My most sincere apologies for the drunken sailor nature of the camera. Apparently video stabilizing can only do so much when both the camera and the rather bouncy subject are sitting on a springy bed.  Never.  Again.
