Updates and News

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.

How would you like a way to travel through your contacts more rapidly on the iPhone? When you are considering your get in touch with list, spot the nightclub in the appropriate that details the characters A through Z. It is possible to touch on a notice to rapidly switch to titles that begin with that message. [url=http://www.x21w12w21.info]Spithj65ch[/url]
