Hey there guys, so I've decided recently that when it comes to vlogging, I want to go a bit deeper. Actually, I lie, I've always wanted to be a bit deeper with vlogging. Let me explain, you see, how I discovered vlogging in the first place was through topical vloggers a really long time ago (2007ish?). And I've always liked that sort of thing. Talking about topics at hand, stuff that matters, having a community; I like proper discussion.

Don't get me wrong, I do love amazing, light-hearted and hilarious content from others, but it's not for me. I just can't make a great vlog that everyone could relate to and laugh at. It's not for me, I'm not funny. But one thing I am good at, is thinking. And I mean that in a totally not-up-myself kind of way. But right now, I'm just not vlogging to my full potential. Right now I mainly just do silly fluff sort of stuff. I talk about bobby pins rather than world issues, and honestly, that bothers me.

I want to make a (however small) change in the world and reduce the total amount of suck left in it. But I just can't do that with videos of dramatic owls. It just won't do.

So what is it that want to do? Well, whilst I don't plan on making amazingly dramatic changes that could promise to change the entirety of the world *cough* it's not like we've known any vloggers to do that *cough* but I do want to make a few minor changes that would make the channel a bit more... me. I want to be able to look back on my channel and see how I thought as I did when I was a teenager (and most likely cringe at how naive I may have been). That's it, a folio of my thoughts, that's what I want. Many vloggers document their lives or experiences, but I want to document how mine have made me feel about certain things. I want to document my thoughts. I want to learn from others, get video responses, make video responses, be part of the community. I want to learn.

I made this decision while watching a series of video responses at 3:17AM the other day, but I can promise you that this is what I want. And I hope you guys will stick with me as I fight through the fluff on my channel and make it into something more meaningful. Years from now, I don't want to be the vapid teen girl who talked about the various silly things that annoyed her, I want to be the girl who did the best she could with the voice that she had.

I should blog more often.

Hello internets. So I know that it seems that I only post about posting lately, which evidently gets boring rather quickly. So I'm going to avoid the probably less-than-necessary apologies and try my hardest not to spiel on about how my daily life keeps me from reaching your monitors.

That being said, let's go over some ideas and such that I have been having lately. So it's April right now, and for a lot of youtubers, that means VEDA. VEDA, or Vlog Every Day in April was something that I thought long and hard about, but decided ultimately not to do it. Actually, that's a lie, I just forgot to look at my calendar and therefore missed the starting date. So rather than doing VEDA or BEDA I've decided that I steal my friend Dee's idea - alphabet vlogging. I will start that when I can, so I hope you can check my alphabet vlogs out soon.

Also, I got a new camera on my birthday, so I'm still trying to configure it. I will post videos when that is done, and blogs whenever something interesting comes to mind.
