Everyone else is doing it!

Well, they are!

And by everyone, I mean sopdetly and katilara. Which is pretty much everyone, when you think about it.

And what, exactly, is everyone doing? Well, from what I can gather, everyone is having slight panics about recording themselves, thinking about what to say while recording themselves and then uploading said recordings to the internet.

At which point, we run away screaming and hide in a corner while quivering in abject fear.

Or something.

Because, for some reason unknown even to myself, I agreed to take part in a regular vlog as an addition to this whole GYWO thing. There are five of us: surferartchick, sopdetly, katilara, theemdash and myself. You'll be able to see us by watching or subscribing to the YouTube channel here: FiveDotNerds. The first one's up already! I'm just off to watch it myself.

But before I go - here's me making my test video. Just in case you've ever wondered what I look like or how I sound or if I look like a complete idiot while staring into a webcam. The answer to the third: why, yes, yes I do.

Oh, and I talk too quietly, so the volume needs to be turned UP right after the intro.

Aaaaand it served its purpose and now it's gone.

P.S. I wrote actual words last night! :D

I always find it funny how my brain makes a different image of what I think people look like :P

I work with a super-soft-spoken person...I am always having to pop out of my chair to hear her! LOL. Used to drive me nuts...but that's just the way she is. Grin.

I had to get my headphones to hear you. Now off to see the whole final result.

So pretty and nice to listen to, although I barely heard a word you said. :)

And yay for actual words! You go, girl!!

My lame-o computer (no, I'm sorry, cheap little laptop; I do actually love you!) won't let me turn your video up any louder, but I liked what I could hear. You seem naturally gentle and feminine (which I hope will come across as a compliment, as is intended). Can't wait for more vlogs :D.

Also: words!! You go, girl!

volume's up as high as I can get it and I can still barely hear you :(. But it's nice to have a face with the blog ^_~

OMG. MY COMPUTER WON'T GET LOUD ENOUGH FOR ME TO HEAR YOU. I'M NOT KIDDING.

Better than having your default volume being too loud. It's embarrassing to talk to a few of my friends in public. Once a lady asked me to ask my friend to talk quieter. D=

I turned my library computer's speakers all the way up and they got all fuzzy and lost all sound! :D And it was still hard to hear you. But oh well. Yay! A face to the written words I read all the time!
