Today, instead of cleaning my room up, or doing all the Physical Geography work I have to do, or even reading more, I watched YouTube. All day. I've gone through most of the Love/Hate Society's videos, and all of 3sixty5days's videos. I'm especially glad I've discovered Stephen. He is Irish, I have to add, which is kind of what attracted me to go to his channel. There's really not that many Irish YouTubers. Just like Canadian YouTubers.
His videos are really funny, they make me laugh, and I'm totally in love with his accent. I've started watching the apartmentRed videos too. Partly to listen to his voice. Ok, maybe mostly. But partly because I'm intrigued. It seems interesting.
There was one video on Stephen's channel that I really liked. It was called "Jealousy" (you can find it HERE). This one really kind of struck a chord with me. Because he described pretty damn well what happened to me with my YouTube. IRL people found it, mean IRL people, and they critisized me for it. He even did a pretty good impression of one of the said IRL people. But it made me realize, why should I care what people here think? I love vlogging, I love YouTube, and I love the community. I love being a part of it, and I can't do that if all my vlogs are privated.
So I made a couple of them public again. Only two so far. My latest ones. The first four, from back in September are so horrid, that they're staying private. Forever.
Maybe my YouTube getting out would be less hard on me if I was... well... more famous, I guess would be right. I mean, I have 21 subscribers. It's not much at all. I'm proud of how many I've gotten so far, given my commitment to vlogging, but I really want more. But I don't want to whore out my channel.
What I really need is Alan's YouTube book. It's going on my list of books to buy.
But, I think I'll make a video to respond to Stephen's video, since it meant a lot to me. Maybe I'll do that in the next few days. It's always so hard to make videos with my family around. My house is really small, and it would be awkward for me to be talking to myself in my room, which is what it would seem like. And when they're all gone, I don't feel like making a video. I need to not procrastinate so much.
That being said, I'm going back to watching apartmentRed, and possibly read some more of Tears of the Moon. Irish vlogs and books ftw :]
See you guys tomorrowwww.
ps. I like comments, they make my day :]
Maybe what you could do is do your vlog out on the kitchen table. Every time I've done a video of any kind there was four or five people with me, and two or three of them walking in and out of the room. It's so random and hilarious I had a lot of fun making a crappy video. Maybe the random comments of your family or friends would improve your videos, as well as keep you from seeming crazy.
ReplyDeleteOops, I just realized that it sounds like I called you videos crappy! Sorry about that, I was really just referring to the fact I make crappy videos.
ReplyDeleteIt's true you shouldn't care about what people think about vlogging. I've watched some of your videos before - I like them. I don't do them mostly because I hate taping myself I always end up doing it over and over again haha. I don't have an answering machine becasue of that lol.
ReplyDeleteSo I had to go look at the link. I think you have another obvious reason why you like that channel - he is adorable and your right there accent id def. something that draws you in haha. I would lovee to go to both England and Ireland - Someday. I need to see the Queen haha.
