Hello, old friends! I have so much to tell you. Sit.
First, I need to let out a gigantic WOW in regards to Less Than Three, the book I’m editing with Kristina Horner. Most of you are probably aware that we’re holding a short story contest about love, friendship, and Internet culture (if you’re not aware, check out our website and awarez-vous!), but here’s something you may not have known: you guys are talented. I’ve spent this week going through the first batch of submissions, and I’ve already had my fair share of lols and omgs. Mine and K-Horn's summertime dreams of creating a job for ourselves that would both benefit our awesome readers and make us freak out with joy-- it's happening! I feel like a proud aunt. The project now has a twitter you can follow if you're interested.
The second news item for today comes to you in the form of a new youtube channel for which I'm a contributor! Answerly is part of My Damn Channel and it features myself, Kristina, and Joseph Birdsong each giving weekly advice on a different topic. My videos focus on college-- tips for saving money, dealing with classes, dealing with people-- and they go up every Monday. There's a new one today in which I divulge all the presents I'm giving for Christmas... so don't watch it if you're, like, my dad. Yay!
Third, and most ridiculously, I'm starting a sort of underground video series on my second channel in which I plan to wear pajamas and complain loudly and inarticulately about old episodes of Glee. This comes as both an answer to the success of my second twitter account that I devote mostly to liveblogging the show, and as an excuse to stare with gaping mouth at Dianna Agron and Naya Rivera while still feeling somewhat accomplished. Because I just wasn't wasting enough of my time before.
Finally, I was lucky enough to be a part of the fifth annual Project for Awesome! I spent all of Saturday typing my way into carpal tunnel in the name of charity, and held down the fort by hosting a portion of the 24-hour livestream event. I may or may not have repeatedly licked a plastic lawn flamingo when we reached our goal of $40,000 in donations. Maybe. It's rumored.
Phew. There's my big news dump for the day. Thank you to everyone who got involved with P4A, has submitted or plans to submit a story to Less Than Three, follows my brainvomit on youtube, or just has my back enough to keep reading through my more boring blog posts. I love you guys and I hope you have a lovely day!

God I can't wait for these Glee videos. If your tweets are anything to go by it will be brilliant :) the world will be blown away by your ability to wear pyjamas, snack and be completely hilarious, articulate and observant all at the same time.It is quite a feat(I can only manage the first two).
A perfect way to keep up with Glee - I havn't watched it since that purple piano episode. Great!
I am excited about all of this! Hooray! And I'm pretty sure there's no better use of my time than having a pretend Glee-discussing pajama party with you while daydreaming about Naya and/or Dianna... Except maybe that story submission. Hrm.
I think I've only watched Glee a few times -- the last one I saw was the episode right after the Superbowl, but I think I might just pick it up again to listen to you point out just how god-awful it is haha I'm excited :)
I was watching the P4A live show while you were hosting it, but I had to leave before the end. I'm so sad I missed your inanimate object makeout! Also, I really hope I'm able to come up with something to submit to Less Than Three. :)
Have a nice day!
Can I just say how much I am loving Answerly? Seriously. It's great. If I could marry a collab channel, it would be this one.
Ok, I just discovered your blog and I think this is the only place where you can read about making out with plastic or calling Kristina by, what I can only guess to be, her new gangster title, k-horns. So now I'm gonna follow this, because I'm too lazy to write my own.
Looking forward to the glee videos :D
OH YEAH LESS THAN THREE. I gotta get on that.
Despite being deathly busy, I am so determined to submit something for that. I really hope it's not embarrassingly crappy.
Hope life's going well :)

I'm still waiting on a stroke of inspiration for Less than Three because I really want to submit something! In the mean time, I've been enjoying your other projects; it's nice to see your face more, and umm, hear the things that come out of your face.
I enjoyed your hosting in p4a - it was awesome to see lots of people spam comment "work those legs, ladies" and "TYLER OAKLEY IS THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT" in later portion of p4a.
