impressions of youtube channels

Community Channel. I have many good things to say about this channel. It brightens my day to listen to Nat's dorky comments and awful mom jokes. It wasn't always so pleasant though. The first time I stumbled across the Community Channel, I saw a video called hand gestures. I could not understand why the video had so many positive ratings and feedback. The video was of one girl making little hand gestures by herself. I saw little point in it. The video was not especially funny or entertaining. The girl, Natalie, did not particularly stand out aside from her Aussie accent. I decided to continue watching a few more videos to understand the phenomena of her popularity. The more I watched, the more she grew on me. The attraction became more intimate (like with Nat's mom). Now I think I can be entertained by watching a video of Nat twiddling her thumbs. She has a genuine personality that she has portrayed well through her collections of videos. I like her and will continue watching.

mememolly. Cats inspired by cats was my first video with Molly. What can I say about this? The video was disturbing and strange enough to keep me searching through her channel for more. Many of her videos give an artsy indie impression. She tries to be creative and gets away with it. She is an attractive girl with pretty eyes and a smooth voice. Some videos are inspirational (dear body inspired many responses), while others disappoint. Sometimes I wonder if she'll be half as entertaining if she were not so attractive. Nevertheless, I like watching this channel from time to time.

spricket24. She won an Emmy award, but I still don't see it. Her End of the World video was somewhat informative and entertaining, but overall, I find Karen a little annoying. Maybe her fans have seen enough of her to get over her annoying tones and gestures, but I can't seem to get pass a few videos. Just watch her Emmy acceptance speech video. I know she is just trying to be cute and funny, but it doesn't do much for me.

so this is what happened

I did not like blogger because I didn't blog on it. I switched to wordpress but I didn't blog on that either. Wordpress gave me no options for theme creativity and variability so I turned back to blogger. And that is the end of my not-very-epic blog move.

So I actually wanted a really cool update, something dramatic: I caught H1N1 after traveling the continents and I don't really know if I'll make it through. Then I go on to blog about the progression of my illness until one day I can blog no more. Instead, I am here to say that I've caught the regular seasonal flu because I was too lazy to visit the doctor for my vaccination. I am awful at coming up with quirky, exciting new things to talk about.

I am in Philly this weekend, ill and content. I have a lot of school work, but am always in search of better things to do. I spent most of my day watching youtube videos. I paid $90 for a trip home to watch Community Channel and mememolly from the comfort of my bed. It's all worth it because I get to eat my mom's cooking.


@Deb Visit me. Jul and Nia are coming to State College next weekend. It would be awesome if you could come along as well. I can promise you with hallucinogens, Jensen Ackles (on my laptop) and lots of squirrels.

I'm going to make it one of my goals to watch all the popular channels on youtube and comment on them individually. Or I can study for my Analytical Chemistry exam. This is quite the dilemma.
