The internet is awesome. It really is. But at the same time, there are moments where I was to just delete everything just to get people to stfu. This is a blog regarding fiveawesomegirls. If you don't know what that is,
here is a link to a channel I have participated on since the beginning of 2008. Basically, we make videos on our assigned days every single week. You many no realise this, but that's a lot of time to invest in a project. Fiveawesomegirls is like a never ending group project, except without all of the annoying parts like when your partner decides to change the entire premise of the project the day before it's due so that it no longer makes sense---I'm changing courses. Another issue for another blog. Anyway. Focus. So this channel get s lot of traffic because we're five, not ugly, young girls with tens of thousands of subscribers. Some have been around since week one, while others are just discovering us as I type. This blog is not directed at the haters who randomly come by and don't like how I decided to style my hair today. No, this is more dedicated to those people who start their comments with "I have been a huge fan of you girls for a long time, but..."
It is the beginning of June and we all have about twenty other things that we need to do that making videos sometimes interferes with. We are graduating college and high school, taking finals and touring the country. And to receive comments starting with the aforementioned statement and ending with something along the lines of "...but you guys don't seem as into this as you use to." Or comments telling us that when we make a less-than-amazing video that is isn't as good as normal. All I want to do is grab those commenters by the shoulders, shake them and tell them to take a shot at what we have to juggle every single week. I don't speak for all the girls, since I have not talked to the other girls about this recently, but oh my god, I am not a machine. I make videos acting happy and I'm fake, I make a video about a bad day (like this past Wednesday) and I am negative and boring. I don't know what people expect, but I just want to see other people try to juggle a very demanding show, graduating high school, a boyfriend, a family, grad parties, college preparation and making videos and then see how they feel when someone tells you that you aren't as "into this" as you use to be.
I live in my parents house. My room is full of childhood relics. I own way too many books and have money managing issues from time to time. I am a human being with things to do, places to be and people to see. I am not a professional video maker and I don't make videos for other people. I make them for me and I am honest in every single one of them. If you want someone who is always perfect and can consistently impress you with everything they put out, then good riddance. There are plenty of people on the internet who would be happy for your support. If you like a little bit of everything, including highs
and lows, then stick around. I love what I do and like sharing my life with people who care. Fiveawesomegirls is a fantastic platform and we really have fun with it, but you gotta stick with us because we adore being there for one another and sharing our lives with you, but things get in the way from times to time. Same goes for me on my other various channels. Other things go first, just know that we aren't going anywhere. At least through the year, we're here (no matter how many times we regret every doing this as we're editing videos into the night xD).
This blog was all over the place, BUT I AIN'T FIXIN' IT. Goodnight.
So I am making a playlist for The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins...because I can. Haha. And I wanted to ask you if you know of any Hunger Games (think, wizard rock) songs that I should add to my list of things to find/download. In addition, if you have any songs that remind you of The Hunger Games or Catching Fire when you listen to them, I'd love for you to leave a comment with the song name and artist and tell me why it reminds you of the books.
