For those of you that are involved in the youtube "community" and watch my videos, you will probably realise that I have not yet made a response to the Andrew Bravener "Open Letter to Youtube" discussion. And I'm not just being a pretentious hipster who refuses to participate because everyone else is, I do have my reasoning.
The first issue with me participating in this discussion is, all that I want to say has already been said. I can't speak a single original word on the topic. Some of my favourites include: this, this and most definitely this.
Another reason that I've kept from making a video, is that I believe the community is there if you look for it. I mean, I see so many people in my subscriptions box willing to take the time to put effort into videos, comment back, make responses. It's mainly the little guys that do it anyway. So you want community? Talk to the little guys. They've got it going on. However, I do believe that featuring smaller youtubers would be a good technical change for the site. So what do you think of this whole "Open Letter to Youtube" discussion?
I'll be putting up a new video as soon as I get some stock footage with my camera, no need to fear, the alphabet challenge continues. That is all.
Oh wait, also, I'm doing this now...

Fashion, put it all on me!
Currently playing: Fashion - Lady Gaga.
Hello all, let's talk about something not very purposeful today. Let's have a bit of fun as I talk about some clothes that I want. Yep. There is pretty much no obligation to read this post at all.
So up until a couple weeks ago, pretty much the only things that I owned in my wardrobe were a bunch of t-shirts and a pair of jeans. In the shoes department, only a singular pair of really beat up converse. And I'm not the one to care too much about what I wear, but I don't mind wearing things that make me feel pretty - and honestly, jeans and a tee doesn't so that (for me at least).
I recently let one of my friends dress me up and take me out to dinner. She was lovely and we have a similar build, so I wandered about in a dress. I felt comfortable and confident. And I like that feeling. Since then, she's offered to take me dress shopping, which should be good. In an ideal world, everything that I buy will be fair trade, but in this consumerist world, we all know that's a hard task.
In the two weeks since I went out and felt pretty (must... resist... West Side Story... reference...) I have since bought a few new nice things, like a dress and some shoes. I've been wearing skirts with my lovely nerdy tees and have been trying not to look horrible. Don't get me wrong, I am fully aware that there are far more important things in the world than clothes, but I don't mind wearing nice things every once in a while.
That being said, let's look at some things Natalie wants!:

Well there you go. Have a nice day, I'm going to go eat some vegan pizza and wonder why my town never has cute clothes.
