twitter: none of you have any friends!

"It seems like Twittering is just randomly bragging about your unexceptional life." Yup, that sounds about right.

strangely creative things

Going to a school where there's a really good arts program means that you often run into a lot of weirdly creative things while on campus. Here are two that I ran into yesterday.

1) This thing, in one of the University buildings, was made out of toilet paper, and were hanging in the hallway. It was weird, and people had ripped part of it down (thanks, jerks) because when I had passed it earlier, it wasn't drooping quite as much, but it still looks kind of cool. I don't know why it was there.
2) This is weird and creepy and could have been done by someone at my college or the university where my college is because it was in the one building that both schools share. I'd like to think this was the doing of my school since it was in the building where the animation school is located. Anyway, this was in a stairwell, and I thought it was strangely creative.

creative wrapping

If I do say so myself, this is one of my cleverer ideas. A gift for one of my friends from the theater where I used to work, the wrapping paper is made of a left-over roll of ticket paper that I nicked a while ago and used a name tag as the gift tag.

Weird Comments and PMs on YouTube

If you are on YouTube, you probably get a couple of these either as a PM or a Channel Comment and they're pretty freaking annoying or just plain weird.

What I'm talking about is Channel Pimping and weird comments. Channel Pimping (that's what I like to call it) is when someone sends you a message on YouTube saying, "Hey, I subscribed to you, subscribe to me back or I'll unsubscribe to you!" except that the message probably looks something more like,

"i subed u sub me back or i'l unsub u!"

Because if there's one thing I know about YouTube, it's that most comments like that are pretty grammatically incorrect.

I've received a few of these, but I have the unfortunate habit of deleting these, so I can't share any with you, but here are a few of the weird PMs that I have recieved on The Sisterhood of Awesome and my personal channel, Lauar21. Though I suppose they're not so "Private" now, eh?

1.
This one was on the Sisterhood of Awesome, so I don't know who they are asking about glasses, but I'm guessing me because I often switch from wearing no glasses in one video to wearing glasses in the next. The answer to this question, though, is yes, I wear glasses. No, they are not a particularly strong prescription, and no, I don't wear contacts. I just can't see very well in the videos where I don't wear my glasses.

2.
What, you're not even going to sub me back, man? No way am I watching your videos. I don't even know who you are!

3.
Same deal. Go away. I could care less about Michael Phelps.

4.
No, I will not create content for you without being paid, no matter how much free swag and burritos is currently tempting me.

5.
Hello, Justin who ran for State House in South Carolina who cannot spell the words "tomorrow" and "someone". You give me lots of faith in the governmental system of America. But thank you for saying that my sense of humor plays well to the camera. That was nice of you, even if you are a "politician" who can't spell.

Share your weird comments! I want to know what other people have been getting on their channels!

"Paper Towns" Kinetic Typography Style

Yeah. It was featured on nerdfighters.com on the front page and I am KIND OF really super proud of it. Considering that it's the first time I've made a kinetic typography video, it's not half bad. I used After Effects and a lot of time and creativity to create this.

EDIT:

Found this on John Green's Website.


Has my day been made? Absolutely. I mean, the guy is pretty much one of my favorite people ever and he posted it on his blog, and said it was amazing.

I feel awesome right about now, thanks.
